Abstract

Equal time spacing of RF pulses in the CPMG sequence imposes a constraint of equal signal read periods in spin-echo train imaging. GRASE imaging differs by using multiple read gradients in each pi-pi time interval, which are not constrained to be equal in number or duration. This additional degree of freedom is developed in dual contrast imaging. Closely spaced read periods are used for the PDW image to reduce T2 decay effects, while fewer low-bandwidth read periods in each of several pi-pi intervals are used to raise the signal-to-noise ratio and avoid signal averaging in the T2-weighted image.

245 GHz high-field EPR study of tyrosine-D zero and tyrosine-Z zero in mutants of photosystem II.

A 245 GHz 8.7 T high-field EPR study of tyrosine-D (TyrD zero) and tyrosine-Z (TyrZ zero) radicals of photosystem II (PSII) from Synechocystis PCC 6803 was carried out. Identical principal g values for the wild-type Synechocystis and spinach TyrD zero showed that the two radicals were in similar electrostatic environments. By contrast, the principal g values of the TyrD zero in the D2-His189Gln mutant of Synechocystis were different from those of the wild-type and spinach radicals and were similar to those of the tyrosyl radical in ribonucleotide reductase. These comparisons indicate that the D2-His189Gln mutant TyrD zero is not hydrogen-bonded or is only weakly so. The HF-EPR spectrum of TyrZ zero was obtained from the D2-Tyr160Phe mutant that lacks TyrD zero. The principal g values were nearly identical to those of the wild-type TyrD zero. The low-field edge of the TyrZ zero spectrum was much broader than at the other two principal g values and was also much broader than the TyrD zero spectrum. From the identical g values and previous work on tyrosyl radical g values [Un S., Atta M., Fontecave, M., & Rutherford, A. W. (1995) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 117, 10713-10719], it was concluded that TyrZ zero, like TyrD zero, is hydrogen-bonded The broadness of the gx component was interpreted as a distribution in strength of the hydrogen-bonding due to disorder in the protein environment about TyrZ zero.

Spin trapping of O-, C-, and S-centered radicals and peroxynitrite by 2H-imidazole-1-oxides.

Spin trapping with 2H-imidazole-1-oxides (2,2,4-trimethyl-2H-imidazole-1-oxide (TMIO); 4-carboxy-2,2-dimethyl-2H-imidazole-1-oxide, potassium salt (CDMIO); 2,2-dimethyl-4-phenyl-2H-imidazole-1-oxide (DMPIO)) was studied. It was found that these compounds form spin adducts with different short lived free radicals, such as OH, CH3, CH2OH, CH3(CH)OH, C(CH3)3O, HOCH2CH2S, glutathionyl and cysteinyl radicals. 2H-imidazole-1-oxides did not trap superoxide radical. Therefore, the detection of OH and thiol radicals is not complicated by the presence of superoxide radical. It was shown that 2H-imidazole-1-oxides are effective scavengers of peroxynitrite forming the same spin adducts as with OH-radicals. Thus, TMIO, CDMIO and DMPIO can be used for spin trapping studies in chemical and biological systems.

The 2Fe2S centres of the 2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline 8-monooxygenase from Pseudomonas putida 86 studied by EPR spectroscopy.

The 2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline 8-monooxygenase from Pseudomonas putida 86 comprises two components with four redox active sites necessary for activity. We present an EPR characterization of the iron-sulfur centres in the purified reductase and oxygenase component of this novel enzyme system. The oxygenase component was identified as a Rieske [2Fe2S] protein on the basis of its characteristic EPR spectrum with gz,y,x = 2.01, 1.91, 1.76 and gav = 1.893. The reductase component, an iron-sulfur flavoprotein, contained a [2Fe2S] cluster with gz,y,x = 2.03, 1.94, 1.89 and the average g-value (gav) of 1.953, typical of a ferredoxin-type centre. In redox titrations at pH 7, the midpoint potentials were determined to be -180 mV +/- 30 mV and -100 mV +/- 10 mV for the reductase and oxygenase component, respectively. A detailed comparison to other multicomponent enzyme systems is presented pointing out the EPR and redox properties of the FeS centres involved.
