The alkaline transition of blue copper proteins, Cucumis sativus plastocyanin and Pseudomonas aeruginosa azurin.
Autoreduction of Cucumis sativus plastocyanin and Pseudomonas aeruginosa azurin took place at alkaline pHs, having been accompanied by the decrease in the intensities of the charge transfer band, Cys-S- (pi)-->Cu(II) at 597 and 626 nm, and the Cu(II)-EPR signals with small AII values of 6.5 x 10(-3) and 5.3 x 10(-3) cm(-1) for plastocyanin and azurin, respectively. Further, an extra Cu(II)-EPR ...
متن کاملElectron Spin-Phonon Relaxation in Quantum Dots
We calculate the spin relaxation rates in parabolic quantum dots due to the phonon modulation of the spin-orbit interaction in presence of an external magnetic field. Both, deformation potential (DP) and piezoelectric (PE) electron-phonon couplings are included in the Pavlov-Firsov spin-phonon Hamiltonian. We demonstrate that the spin relaxation rates are particularly sensitive with the Landé g...
متن کاملElectron Spin Relaxation of (Diphenyl) in Dimethoxyethane *
The electron relaxation times Tt and T2 have been measured by ESR pulse techniques in solutions of normal and perdeuterated (diphenyl)" in dimethoxyethane at various radical concentrations and temperatures. The results are discussed in terms of different relaxation mechanisms. The most important contribution to spin-lattice relaxation at high concentration is dipolar interaction with other radi...
متن کاملStructural and molecular weight studies on the small copper protein, plastocyanin.
The plastocyanin from Phaseolus vulgaris has been shown to consist of a single polypeptide chain of 100 residues to which 1 atom of copper is bound. This plastocyanin is the smallest copper-protein yet reported; its molecular weight is 10,690. The molar extinction coefficient (E& of the copper chromophore was shown to be 4.5 x 103. The copper content and molecular weight contrast with that of p...
متن کاملSpin Relaxation in GaAs: Importance of Electron-Electron Interactions
We study spin relaxation in n-type bulk GaAs, due to the Dyakonov-Perel mechanism, using ensemble Monte Carlo methods. Our results confirm that spin relaxation time increases with the electronic density in the regime of moderate electronic concentrations and high temperature. We show that the electron-electron scattering in the non-degenerate regime significantly slows down spin relaxation. Thi...
