Au10-: isomerism and structure-dependent O2 reactivity.
Structure isomers of the Au(10)(-) cluster and their chemical reactivity with O(2) are studied using photoelectron spectroscopy under different experimental conditions. In addition to the global minimum triangular D(3h) structure, at least three low-lying isomers (X', X'', and X''') are observed distinctly using argon tagging and O(2) titration. The D(3h) structure has a very high electron affi...
متن کاملGenes Encoding A-Type Flavoproteins Are Essential for Photoreduction of O2 in Cyanobacteria
O(2) photoreduction by photosynthetic electron transfer, the Mehler reaction, was observed in all groups of oxygenic photosynthetic organisms, but the electron transport chain mediating this reaction remains unidentified. We provide the first evidence for the involvement of A-type flavoproteins that reduce O(2) directly to water in vitro. Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 mutants defective in f...
متن کاملEPR on Flavoproteins.
Flavoproteins often employ radical mechanisms in their enzymatic reactions. This involves paramagnetic species, which can ideally be investigated with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. In this chapter we focus on the example of flavin-based photoreceptors and discuss, how different EPR methods have been used to extract information about the flavin radical's electronic state, i...
متن کاملNormalizing cerebrovascular reactivity map via concomitant CO2 and O2 challenge
INTRODUCTION: Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), referring to the ability of blood vessels to dilate upon stimulation, is an important marker of brain’s vascular function (1). During the past few years, there has been a surging interest in quantitative mapping of CVR using BOLD MRI in combination with hypercapnia challenge (2-5) and to use this technique in cerebrovascular diseases (3,4) and nor...
متن کاملActive-site probes of flavoproteins.
The chemical reactivity of 8-chloroflavins and 8-mercaptoflavins has been exploited in order to examine the orientation of protein-bound flavins relative to solvent. The apoprotein form of a series of flavoproteins was prepared and the native flavin was replaced by either 8-C1-flavin or 8-mercaptoflavin (FAD, FMN, or riboflavin form as was appropriate). The reconstituted proteins were exposed t...
