Isolated hemoprotein subunits of Escherichia coli NADPH:sulfite reductase catalyze the 6-electron reduction of SO2-3 to S2-. The prosthetic groups of the hemoprotein, a siroheme and a Fe4S4 cluster, have been shown by spectroscopy to be tightly coupled. We have crystallized the isolated hemoprotein subunits and produced a 3-A electron density map by x-ray crystallography. A single heavy atom de...

A heme model system has been developed in which the heme-propionate is the only proton donating/accepting site, using protoporphyrin IX-monomethyl esters (PPIX(MME)) and N-methylimidazole (MeIm). Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions of these model compounds have been examined in acetonitrile solvent. (PPIX(MME))Fe(III)(MeIm)(2)-propionate (Fe(III)~CO(2)) is readily reduced by the a...

In our manuscript, we assumed, that each substitutional Fe atom and each interstitial Fe atom, which exist with the ratio of 85% and 15% of the doped Fe atoms, respectively, contribute equally to the integrated XAS intensity expressed by equation (1) in the main text. Hereinafter, we call this assumption as assumption A in this Supplemental Information. This was used for deriving the following ...

We report results of structural, magnetic and electrical measurements performed on the perovskite RE1/3Sr2/3FeO3 compounds (RE= rare earth). Samples with light RE (La, Pr or Nd) show a metal-insulator-like transition coupled to an antiferromagnetic ordering upon cooling. This transition is believed to be brought about by a charge ordering of Fe and Fe ions in the low temperature phase accompani...

The inventories and Fe isotope composition of aqueous Fe(II) and solid-phase Fe compounds were quantified in neutral-pH, chemically precipitated sediments downstream of the Iron Mountain acid mine drainage site in northern California, USA. The sediments contain high concentrations of amorphous Fe(III) oxyhydroxides [Fe(III)(am)] that allow dissimilatory iron reduction (DIR) to predominate over ...

Functionalized Fe nanoparticles (NPs) have played an important role in biomedical applications. In this study, metallic Fe NPs were deposited on SiO2 spheres to form a Fe/SiO2 composite. To protect the Fe from oxidation, a thin SiO2 layer was coated on the Fe/SiO2 spheres thereafter. The size and morphology of the SiO2@Fe/SiO2 composite spheres were examined by transmission electron microscopy ...

In a previous study, we analyzed the electronic structure of S = 3/2 [FeNO](7) model complexes [Brown et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1995, 117, 715-732]. The combined spectroscopic data and SCF-X alpha-SW electronic structure calculations are best described in terms of Fe(III) (S = 5/2) antiferromagnetically coupled to NO(-) (S = 1). Many nitrosyl derivatives of non-heme iron enzymes have spectroscop...
