The electrophoretic migration rates of several proteins of photosystem 2 particles ffom spinách were much higher iii gels containing 1 mM Ca^^ than in gels containing 1 mM ethyleneglycol-í)w(P-aminoethyl ether) N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA). Incubation of gels with terbium (Tb^^) and the corresponding Tb3‘'^-fluorescence were ušed to identity the Ca^^-binding proteins on the basis of selective occupation of Ca2+-binding sites with Tb^+. The 47, 43 and particularly 33 kDa polypeptides were most probably involved in Ca2+-binding.
