The active site for water oxidation in photosystem II (PSII) consists of a Mn 4 Ca cluster close to a redox-active tyrosine residue (TyrZ). The enzyme cycles through five sequential oxidation states (S 0 to S 4 ) in the water oxidation process. Earlier electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) work showed that metalloradical states, probably arising from the Mn 4 cluster interacting with TyrZ, can be trapped by illumination of the S 0 , S 1 and S 2 states at cryogenic temperatures. The EPR signals reported were attributed to S 0 TyrZ, S 1 TyrZ and S 2 TyrZ, respectively. The equivalent states were examined here by EPR in PSII isolated from Thermosynechococcus elongatus with either Sr or Ca associated with the Mn 4 cluster. In order to avoid spectral contributions from the second tyrosyl radical, TyrD, PSII was used in which Tyr160 of D2 was replaced by phenylalanine. We report that the metalloradical signals attributed to TyrZ interacting with the Mn cluster in S 0 , S 1 , S 2 and also probably the S 3 states are all affected by the presence of Sr. Ca/Sr exchange also affects the non-haem iron which is situated approximately 44 Å units away from the Ca site. This could relate to the earlier reported modulation of the potential of Q A by the occupancy of the Ca site. It is also shown that in the S 3 state both visible and near-infrared light are able to induce a similar Mn photochemistry.

Antibiotic therapy is the gold standard for bacterial infections treatment. However, the rapid increase in multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections and its recent use for secondary bacterial infections in many COVID-19 patients has considerably weakened its treatment efficacy. These shortcomings motivated researchers to develop new antibacterial materials, such as nanoparticle-based antibacterial platform with the ability to increase the chances of killing MDR strains and prevent their drug resistance. Herein, we report a new black phosphorus (BP)-based non-damaging near-infrared light-responsive platform conjugated with ZnO and Au nanoparticles as a synergistic antibacterial agent against Staphylococcus aureus species. First, BP nanosheets containing Au nanoparticles were assembled in situ with the ZnO nanoparticles prepared by a low-temperature solution synthesis method. Subsequently, the antibacterial activities of the resulting Au–ZnO–BP nanocomposite against the non-resistant, methicillin-resistant, and erythromycin-resistant S. aureus species were determined, after its photothermal efficacy was assessed. The synthesized nanocomposite exhibited excellent anti-S. aureus activity and good photothermal characteristics. The non-resistant S. aureus species did not produce drug-resistant bacteria after the treatment of multiple consecutive passages under the pressure of the proposed nanoantibiotic, but rapidly developed resistance to erythromycin. This work clearly demonstrates the excellent photothermal antibacterial properties of Au–ZnO–BP nanocomposite against the MDR S. aureus species.
