Copper(II) inhibition of electron transfer through photosystem II studied by EPR spectroscopy.
EPR spectroscopy was applied to investigate the inhibition of electron transport in photosystem II by Cu2+ ions. Our results show that Cu2+ has inhibitory effects on both the donor and the acceptor side of photosystem II. In the presence of Cu2+, neither EPR signal IIvery fast nor signal IIfast, which both reflect oxidation of tyrosinez, could be induced by illumination. This shows that Cu2+ in...
متن کاملEffects of copper and zinc ions on photosystem II studied by EPR spectroscopy.
The effect of Zn(2+) or Cu(2+) ions on Mn-depleted photosystem II (PS II) has been investigated using EPR spectroscopy. In Zn(2+)-treated and Cu(2+)-treated PS II, chemical reduction with sodium dithionite gives rise to a signal attributed to the plastosemiquinone, Q(A)(*)(-), the usual interaction with the non-heme iron being lost. The signal was identified by Q-band EPR spectroscopy which par...
متن کاملPhotosystem II single crystals studied by EPR spectroscopy at 94 GHz: the tyrosine radical Y(D)(*).
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy at 94 GHz is used to study the dark-stable tyrosine radical Y(D)(*) in single crystals of photosystem II core complexes (cc) isolated from the thermophilic cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus. These complexes contain at least 17 subunits, including the water-oxidizing complex (WOC), and 32 chlorophyll a molecules/PS II; they are active in li...
متن کاملMechanism of multivalent carbohydrate-protein interactions studied by EPR spectroscopy.
The interaction of multivalent carbohydrate derivatives with carbohydrate-binding proteins (lectins) is frequently observed in biological systems, and their inhibition by tailored multivalent ligands is a powerful strategy for the treatment of many human diseases. fli Compared to monovalent interactions, multivalency can lead to significantly increased binding affinities and specificities. Seve...
متن کاملTetrachloridocuprates(II)—Synthesis and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) Spectroscopy
Ionic liquids (ILs) on the basis of metal containing anions and/or cations are of interest for a variety of technical applications e.g., synthesis of particles, magnetic or thermochromic materials. We present the synthesis and the results of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic analyses of a series of some new potential ionic liquids based on tetrachloridocuprates(II), [CuCl(4)](...
