The fluorescence of the RNA spin label Çm is quenched via rapid internal conversion into a dark doublet state, which is localized on the nitroxide group of the FNRO˙ compound.

PELDOR is used to unravel the position and orientation of MTSSL in six singly-labelled azurin mutants. A comparison with X-ray structures of the mutants shows good agreement with respect to the position and orientation of the nitroxide group.

A new spin label nitroxide which is also a herbicide of the urea family has been synthesized. The nitroxide spin label derivative of diuron (ditempuron, DTPU) inhibits electron flow at the site of diuron inhibition of photosystem II (PSII) activity, and it is also reduced by electron flow from one of the first acceptors of PSII. The reduction of the nitroxide group of DTPU is inhibited by diuron or by trypsin treatment of the thylakoids but not by DNP-INT or DBMIB. It is suggested that DTPU binds specifically to and accepts electrons at the Qв site.

In a previous paper the absorption of γ-rays in the K-X-ray levels of the atom in which they are emitted was calculated according to the Quantum Mechanics, supposing the γ-rays to be emitted from a doublet of moment f ( t ) at the centre of the atom. The non-relativity wave equation derived from the relativity wave equation for an electron of charge — ε moving in an electro-magnetic field of vector potential K and scalar potential V is h 2 ∇ 2 ϕ + 2μ ( ih ∂/∂ t + εV + ih ε/μ c (K. grad)) ϕ = 0. (1) Suppose, however, that K involves the space co-ordinates. Then, (K. grad) ϕ ≠ (grad . K) ϕ , and the expression (K . grad) ϕ is not Hermitic. Equation (1) cannot therefore be the correct non-relativity wave equation for a single electron in an electron agnetic field, and we must substitute h 2 ∇ 2 ϕ + 2μ ( ih ∂/∂ t + εV) ϕ + ih ε/ c ((K. grad) ϕ + (grad. K) ϕ ) = 0. (2)
