Epr Experiments

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy on protein single crystals is the ultimate method for determining the electronic structure of paramagnetic intermediates at the active site of an enzyme and relating the magnetic tensor to a molecular structure. However, crystals of dimensions typical for protein crystallography (0.05 to 0.3mm) provide insufficient signal intensity. In this work, we present a microwave self-resonant microhelix for nanoliter samples that can be implemented in a commercial X-band (9.5 GHz) EPR spectrometer. The self-resonant microhelix provides a measured signal-to-noise improvement up to a factor of 28 with respect to commercial EPR resonators. This work opens up the possibility to use advanced EPR techniques for studying protein single crystals of dimensions typical for x-ray crystallography. The technique is demonstrated by EPR experiments on single crystal [FeFe]-hydrogenase (Clostridium pasteurianum; CpI) with dimensions of 0.3 mm by 0.1 mm by 0.1 mm, yielding a proposed g-tensor orientation of the Hox state.

Abstract Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) studies have been carried out on the vanadyl (VO2) ion doped in single crystals of ZnTiF6 • 6H2O. The spectra indicate the presence of one set of eight lines characteristic of only one occupation site. The V-O bond orientation is along one of the three Zn-H2O bond directions in the trigonally distorted [Zn(H2O)6] octahedra. This behaviour is unlike that reported for vanadyl ion substituting for the M(H2O)6 sites in the Tutton salts, alums and AlCl3 • 6H2O. The Spin-Hamiltonian and bonding parameters for the [VO(H2O)5] complex have been evaluated. The hyperfine linewidths are 0.8 mT at 300 K and 77 K. No proton superhyperfine structure was observed at both these temperatures.
