Heterometallic Mn-Ca and Mn-Sr complexes have been prepared and employed as model complexes for Ca and Sr EXAFS spectral comparisons with the Oxygen-Evolving Complex (OEC) of Photosystem II (PS II); these have revealed similarities that support the presence of at least one O atom bridge between the Mn and Ca/Sr in the OEC. 相似文献

Applications of Density Functional Theory (DFT) computational techniques to studies of the molecular structure and mechanism of the oxygen evolving, water oxidising Mn(4)/Ca catalytic site in Photosystem II are reviewed. We summarise results from the earlier studies (pre 2000) but concentrate mainly on those developments which have occurred since publication of several PS II crystal structures of progressively increasing resolution, starting in 2003. The work of all computational groups actively involved in PS II studies is examined, in the light of direct PS II structural information from X-ray diffraction crystallography and EXAFS on the metals in the catalytic site. We further address the consistency of the various computational models with results from a range of spectroscopic studies on the PS II site, in all of those functionally intermediate states (S-states) amenable to study. Experimental data considered include Mn K-edge XANES studies, hyperfine coupling of Mn nuclei and various ligand nuclei (including those from substrate water) seen by several EPR techniques applied to the net spin half intermediates, S(0) and S(2), at low temperatures. Finally we consider proposed catalytic mechanisms for the O-O bond formation step, from two groups, in the light of the available experimental evidence bearing on this process, which we also summarise. 相似文献

The biological generation of oxygen by the oxygen-evolving complex in photosystem II (PS II) is one of nature's most important reactions. The recent X-ray crystal structures, while limited by resolutions of 3.2-3.5 A, have located the electron density associated with the Mn4Ca cluster within the multiprotein PS II complex. Detailed structures critically depend on input from spectroscopic techniques, such as EXAFS and EPR/ENDOR, as the XRD resolution does not allow for accurate determination of the position of Mn/Ca or the bridging and terminal ligand atoms. The number and distances of Mn-Mn/Ca/ligand interactions determined from EXAFS provide important constraints for the structure of the Mn4Ca cluster. Here, we present data from a high-resolution EXAFS method using a novel multicrystal monochromator that show three short Mn-Mn distances between 2.7 and 2.8 A and, hence, the presence of three di-mu-oxo-bridged units in the Mn4Ca cluster. This result imposes clear limitations on the proposed structures based on spectroscopic and diffraction data and provides input for refining such structures. 相似文献

The proximity of the calcium/strontium binding site of the oxygen evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II (PSII) to the paramagnetic Mn cluster is explored with (87)Sr three-pulse electron spin-echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) spectroscopy. CW-EPR spectra of Sr(2+)-substituted Ca(2+)-depleted PSII membranes show the modified g = 2 multiline EPR signal as previously reported. We performed three-pulse ESEEM on this modified multiline signal of the Mn cluster using natural abundance Sr and (87)Sr, respectively. Three-pulse ESEEM of the natural abundance Sr sample exhibits no detectable modulation by the 7% abundance (87)Sr. On the other hand, that of the (87)Sr enriched (93%) sample clearly reveals modulation arising from the I = (9)/(2) (87)Sr nucleus weakly magnetically coupled to the Mn cluster. Using a simple point dipole approximation for the electron spin, analysis of the (87)Sr ESEEM modulation depth via an analytic expression suggests a Mn-Ca (Sr) distance of 4.5 A. Simulation of three-pulse ESEEM with a numerical matrix diagonalization procedure gave good agreement with this analytical result. A more appropriate tetranuclear magnetic/structural model for the Mn cluster converts the 4.5 A point dipole distance to a 3.8-5.0 A range of distances. DFT calculations of (43)Ca and (87)Sr quadrupolar interactions on Ca (and Sr substituted) binding sites in various proteins suggest that the lack of the nuclear quadrupole induced splitting in the ESEEM spectrum of (87)Sr enriched PSII samples is related to a very high degree of symmetry of the ligands surrounding the Sr(2+) ion in the substituted Ca site. Numerical simulations show that moderate (87)Sr quadrupolar couplings decrease the envelope modulation relative to the zero quadrupole case, and therefore we consider that the 3.8-5.0 A range obtained without quadrupolar coupling included in the simulation represents an upper limit to the actual manganese-calcium distance. This (87)Sr pulsed EPR spectroscopy provides independent direct evidence that the calcium/strontium binding site is close to the Mn cluster in the OEC of PSII. 相似文献

Photosystem II (PS II), found in oxygenic photosynthetic organisms, catalyses the most energetically demanding reaction in nature, the oxidation of water to molecular oxygen and protons. The water oxidase in PS II contains a Mn(4)Ca cluster (oxygen evolving complex, OEC), whose catalytic mechanism has been extensively investigated but is still unresolved. In particular the precise Mn oxidation levels through which the cluster cycles during functional turnover are still contentious. In this, the first of several planned parts, we examine a broad range of published data relating to this question, while considering the recent atomic resolution PS II crystal structure of Umena et al. (Nature, 2011, 473, 55). Results from X-ray, UV-Vis and NIR spectroscopies are considered, using an approach that is mainly empirical, by comparison with published data from known model systems, but with some reliance on computational or other theoretical considerations. The intention is to survey the extent to which these data yield a consistent picture of the Mn oxidation states in functional PS II - in particular, to test their consistency with two current proposals for the mean redox levels of the OEC during turnover; the so called 'high' and 'low' oxidation state paradigms. These systematically differ by two oxidation equivalents throughout the redox accumulating catalytic S state cycle (states S(0)S(3)). In summary, we find that the data, in total, substantially favor the low oxidation proposal, particularly as a result of the new analyses we present. The low oxidation state scheme is able to resolve a number of previously 'anomalous' results in the observed UV-Visible S state turnover spectral differences and in the resonant inelastic X-ray spectroscopy (RIXS) of the Mn pre-edge region of the S(1) and S(2) states. Further, the low oxidation paradigm is able to provide a 'natural' explanation for the known sensitivity of the OEC Mn cluster to cryogenic near infra-red (NIR) induced turnover to alternative spin/redox states in S(2) and S(3). 相似文献

Photosynthetic water oxidation is catalyzed by a unique Mn(4)Ca cluster in Photosystem II. The ligation environment of the Mn(4)Ca cluster optimizes the cluster's reactivity at each step in the catalytic cycle and minimizes the release of toxic, partly oxidized intermediates. However, our understanding of the cluster's ligation environment remains incomplete. Although the recent X-ray crystallographic structural models have provided great insight and are consistent with most conclusions of earlier site-directed mutagenesis studies, the ligation environments of the Mn(4)Ca cluster in the two available structural models differ in important respects. Furthermore, while these structural models and the earlier mutagenesis studies agree on the identity of most of the Mn(4)Ca cluster's amino acid ligands, they disagree on the identity of others. This review describes mutant characterizations that have been undertaken to probe the ligation environment of the Mn(4)Ca cluster, some of which have been inspired by the recent X-ray crystallographic structural models. Many of these characterizations have involved Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) difference spectroscopy because of the extreme sensitivity of this form of spectroscopy to the dynamic structural changes that occur during an enzyme's catalytic cycle. 相似文献

A key component required for an understanding of the mechanism of the evolution of molecular oxygen by the photosynthetic oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) in photosystem II (PS II) is the knowledge of the structures of the Mn cluster in the OEC in each of its intermediate redox states, or S-states. In this paper, we report the first detailed structural characterization using Mn extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy of the Mn cluster of the OEC in the S(0) state, which exists immediately after the release of molecular oxygen. On the basis of the EXAFS spectroscopic results, the most likely interpretation is that one of the di-mu-oxo-bridged Mn-Mn moieties in the OEC has increased in distance from 2.7 A in the dark-stable S(1) state to 2.85 A in the S(0) state. Furthermore, curve fitting of the distance heterogeneity present in the EXAFS data from the S(0) state leads to the intriguing possibility that three di-mu-oxo-bridged Mn-Mn moieties may exist in the OEC instead of the two di-mu-oxo-bridged Mn-Mn moieties that are widely used in proposed structural models for the OEC. This possibility is developed using novel structural models for the Mn cluster in the OEC which are consistent with the structural information available from EXAFS and the recent X-ray crystallographic structure of PS II at 3.8 A resolution. 相似文献

Double hydroxides containing alkaline earth and iron(III) ions were synthesised by the co-precipitation method. The solid
materials obtained were characterised by a range of instrumental methods (powder X-ray diffractometry, thermogravimetry, scanning
electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, elemental maps, and infrared spectroscopy). It was
found that the Ca(II)Fe(III), Mg(II)Fe(III), and Ba(II)Fe(III) double hydroxides had layered structures, while Sr(II)Fe(III)
had not. The optimum conditions for synthesis of Ca(II)Fe(III)-layered double hydroxides (materials to be used in further
studies) were also elaborated. 相似文献

Herein we report a detailed investigation of the complexation properties of the macrocyclic decadentate receptor N,N'-Bis[(6-carboxy-2-pyridil)methyl]-4,13-diaza-18-crown-6 (H(2)bp18c6) toward different divalent metal ions [Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), Sr(II), and Ca(II)] in aqueous solution. We have found that this ligand is especially suited for the complexation of large metal ions such as Sr(II) and Pb(II), which results in very high Pb(II)/Ca(II) and Pb(II)/Zn(II) selectivities (in fact, higher than those found for ligands widely used for the treatment of lead poisoning such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (edta)), as well as in the highest Sr(II)/Ca(II) selectivity reported so far. These results have been rationalized on the basis of the structure of the complexes. X-ray crystal diffraction, (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, as well as theoretical calculations at the density functional theory (B3LYP) level have been performed. Our results indicate that for large metal ions such as Pb(II) and Sr(II) the most stable conformation is Δ(δλδ)(δλδ), while for Ca(II) our calculations predict the Δ(λδλ)(λδλ) form being the most stable one. The selectivity that bp18c6(2-) shows for Sr(II) over Ca(II) can be attributed to a better fit between the large Sr(II) ions and the relatively large crown fragment of the ligand. The X-ray crystal structure of the Pb(II) complex shows that the Δ(δλδ)(δλδ) conformation observed in solution is also maintained in the solid state. The Pb(II) ion is endocyclically coordinated, being directly bound to the 10 donor atoms of the ligand. The bond distances to the donor atoms of the pendant arms (2.55-2.60 ?) are substantially shorter than those between the metal ion and the donor atoms of the crown moiety (2.92-3.04 ?). This is a typical situation observed for the so-called hemidirected compounds, in which the Pb(II) lone pair is stereochemically active. The X-ray structures of the Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes show that these metal ions are exocyclically coordinated by the ligand, which explains the high Pb(II)/Cd(II) and Pb(II)/Zn(II) selectivities. Our receptor bp18c6(2-) shows promise for application in chelation treatment of metal intoxication by Pb(II) and (90)Sr(II). 相似文献

Neutron diffraction and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) studies have been performed in La0.5Ca0.5MnO2.5, La0.5Sr0.5MnO2.5 and Nd0.5Sr0.5MnO2.5 oxygen-deficient perovskite compounds obtained by topotactic reduction. They all exhibit a brownmillerite structure with G-type antiferromagnetic ordering. Mn2+, Mn3+ and Mn4+ coexist at the octahedral sites, whereas only Mn2+ is placed in the tetrahedral positions. A magnetic moment of 1.6 microB has been detected at the tetrahedral layers, which can be explained by assuming Mn2+ is in a low-spin configuration. 相似文献

Herein we report the synthesis and structural characterization of Mg(II), Ca(II), Sr(II) and Ba(II) complexes with bibracchial lariat ethers derived from 1,7-diaza-15-crown-5 and 1,7-diaza-12-crown-4 containing aniline or benzimidazole pendant arms. The solid state structures of most of them have been determined by using single crystal X-ray crystallography. A coordination number of seven was observed for the Mg(II) complexes in the solid state, while the Ca(II), Sr(II) and Ba(II) complexes are 8-, 9- and 11-coordinate, respectively. The Ca(II), Sr(II) and Ba(II) complexes show a syn conformation, with the two pendant arms of the ligand disposed on the same side of the macrocyclic mean plane. However, the Mg(II) complex with the largest ligand derived from 1,7-diaza-15-crown-5 containing benzimidazole pendants presents an anti conformation in the solid state. 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy reveal that this conformation is maintained in acetonitrile solution. 相似文献

A series of uranoborates of alkaline (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs), alkaline-earth (Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba), and 3d transition (Mn, Co, Ni, Zn) metals was synthesized by solid-phase reactions and ion exchange. The compositions and structures of these borates were examined using X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, and thermal analysis. It is found that they have phase and functional similarities and belong to the group of layered uranium compounds. 相似文献

Immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) of solubilized, photosystem II (PS II) enriched particles from the thermophilic cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus was studied. A chelating Sepharose Fast Flow column was charged with various metal ions (Mn2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Ni2+, Co2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Zn2+ and Cu2+) and their affinity to photosystem I (PS I) and PS II was examined. Among all the metal ions tested, only copper was able to bind the two protein complexes. For elution of the column, a pH gradient, a pH step gradient and gradients of imidazole, amino acids, organic acids and various other eluents were tested; only the pH step gradient, which selectively eluted PS II at a pH between 6 and 5, was useful for the separation of PS I and PS II. All other gradients proved to be inappropriate for the separation of these two photosystems. Mechanisms of protein elution by these compounds are discussed. Alternatively, a separation of PS I and PS II at pH 7.5 could be achieved when an IMAC column was used on which the free coordination positions of the bound copper ions were occupied by imidazole. When solubilized photosystems were loaded on to this column, PS I replaced imidazole and remained bound on the column, whereas PS II was highly enriched in the effluent. 相似文献

The unusual selectivity of a methylene succinic (itaconic) acid modified polymeric column was investigated for the separation of alkali, alkaline earth, transition and heavy metals employing non-chelating inorganic eluents. The retention of selected metal ions on the column was investigated with simple HNO3 eluents and eluents prepared from KNO3 and KCl salts of varying pH (adjusted using HNO3). From these studies both the effect of eluent ionic strength and pH upon retention was evaluated for the itaconic acid stationary phase. The results obtained showed that despite slow exchange kinetics causing poor efficiencies, acceptable baseline separations of selected alkaline earth and transitions could be obtained under optimum conditions (the baseline separation of Mg(II), Ca(II), Mn(II), Cd(II), Zn(II) and Co(II) was possible using a 15 mM KNO3-5 mM KCl eluent at pH 3.50 in under 25 min). The use of an simple ionic strength step gradient was shown that facilitated the addition of Pb(II) to the above group of metal ions. An investigation into the effect of temperature upon peak efficiency and retention showed increased column temperature could be used to improve the resolution of closely eluting metal ions such as Ca(II) and Sr(II) and Ca(II) and Mn(II). 相似文献

Chrome Azurol S (CS) was mobilized on an strongly basic anion-exchange resin (Dowex 2 x 4, in Cl(-) form) by batch equilibration. The modified resin was stable in acetate buffer solution and in 0.1 M HCl and H(2)SO(4), but it was readily degraded with 2-6 M HCl and HNO(3). Retention of Ba(II), Sr(II), Ca(II), Mg(II), Al(III), Cr(III), Zn(II), Fe(III), Ti(IV), Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) was studied using the batch equilibration method. The uptake and recovery yields were determined by using inductively-coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (for Mg, Al, Cr, Ti, Fe, Mn, Ni, Zn, Cu, Cd and Pb) and atomic absorption spectrophotometry (for Ba, Sr, Ca and Co). The optimum pH value was established for performing a selective separation of Al(III) from the other metal ions. The sorption capacities of the CS-loaded resing for Al(III), Cr(III), Mg(II) (at pH 6), Fe(III) (at pH 5) and Ti(IV) (at pH 4) were 14, 2.9, 0.3, 3 and 3.9 mumoles g(-1) respectively. On this basis a method for separating Al(III) from other cations was established. 相似文献

Combined thermodynamic and kinetic studies have yielded convenient single-ion activity coefficients for manganese(II), alkaline-earth, and chloride ions and standard exchange currents for the two steps of the Mn(Hg)/Mn(II) electrode in 0.005 M MnCl2+0.495 M MeCl2 (for Me=Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, and Mn) at 25°C. The results indicate that the fall in mean ionic activity coefficient for the alkaline-earth chlorides along the sequence from magnesium to barium is carried to a larger extent by the cation than by the anion, that also the activity coefficient for the minority cation Mn(II) falls along this sequence, and that other than activity-coefficient effects on the Mn(Hg)/Mn(II) reactions appear only with barium ions, which retard the reactions additionally. The results are discussed with emphasis on ionic interactions and double-layer effects. 相似文献

Mn(IT) can be eluted quantitatively with 0.067M ammonium citrate at pH 7.0 or 7.5 from a column of AG50W-X8 cationexchange resin (200-400 mesh), and separated from Sr which is retained. Mg, Ca, Cu(II), Zn and Co(II) accompany Mn(II). From citric acid solutions up to 1M (20%) and from 5 % citric acid solution at pH 2.2 both Mn(II) and Sr are retained very strongly. This is in agreement with some previous work but disagrees with a recent statement by others that 5 % citric acid at pH 2.2 is an effective eluting agent for Sr. 相似文献
