Cpn60 was labeled with pyrene maleimide in order to follow structural rearrangements in the protein triggered by the binding of nucleotides and cpnl0. The conjugate binds ATP, AMP-PNP, and ADP(Pi) with pyrene fluorescence enhancements of 60%, 60% and 1576, respectively. In each case, binding is cooperative with half-saturation (Kip) occurring a t 10 pM, 290 pM, and 2500 p M and Hill constants (nH)of 4 3 , and 3, respectively. Inclusion of the co-protein, cpnl0, tightens the binding of ATP, AMP-PNP, and ADP(Pi) to give K 1 p values of 6 pM, 100 pM,and
