The effect of 54Mn and lead (Pb) interaction on their binding with various tissue proteins have been investigated. Pb was found to bind with low molecular weight glycoprotein in liver, brain and serum. The interaction of 54Mn+ Pb with the proteins in serum, liver and brain resulted in increased binding of both the metals, in comparison with that observed in the presence of either metal alone. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis patterns of serum, liver and brain pro-teins interacted with 54Mn+ Pb showed two distinct bands, one corresponding to 54Mn binding protein and the other to lead binding protein. There appears to be no competition of 54Mn and Pb for common binding sites, however, their combi-nation altered the affinity of tissue proteins to bind 54Mn and Pb, the mechanism of which remains to be clarified.
