Chemical exchange induced Hahn echo modulation in pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance experiment.

ABSTRACT: Triarylmethyl (TAM) radicals are probes well suited to study microenvironment parameters using pulse electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) due to their long relaxation times. Here, we are reporting the study of relaxation properties of monophosphonated TAM radicals in the presence of chemical exchange processes. The dependence of Hahn and inversion recovery echo on the solution pH and the chemical exchange rate are discussed. The modulation of Hahn echo intensity in solutions due to chemical exchange is observed in pulse EPR experiments. An analysis of the Hahn echo intensity decay allows for the quantitative determination of the chemical exchange rate and solution pH value.

The decay of the refocused Hahn echo in double electron-electron resonance (DEER) experiments.

Project description:Double electron-electron resonance (DEER) is a pulse electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique that measures distances between paramagnetic centres. It utilizes a four-pulse sequence based on the refocused Hahn spin echo. The echo decays with increasing pulse sequence length 2(τ1+τ2), where τ1 and τ2 are the two time delays. In DEER, the value of τ2 is determined by the longest inter-spin distance that needs to be resolved, and τ1 is adjusted to maximize the echo amplitude and, thus, sensitivity. We show experimentally that, for typical spin centres (nitroxyl, trityl, and Gd(III)) diluted in frozen protonated solvents, the largest refocused echo amplitude for a given τ2 is obtained neither at very short τ1 (which minimizes the pulse sequence length) nor at τ1=τ2 (which maximizes dynamic decoupling for a given total sequence length) but rather at τ1 values smaller than τ2. Large-scale spin dynamics simulations based on the coupled cluster expansion (CCE), including the electron spin and several hundred neighbouring protons, reproduce the experimentally observed behaviour almost quantitatively. They show that electron spin dephasing is driven by solvent protons via the flip-flop coupling among themselves and their hyperfine couplings to the electron spin.

Pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance experiments identify the paramagnetic intermediates in the pyruvate ferredoxin oxidoreductase catalytic cycle.

Project description:Pyruvate ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PFOR) is central to the anaerobic metabolism of many bacteria and amitochondriate eukaryotes. PFOR contains thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) and three [4Fe-4S] clusters, which link pyruvate oxidation to reduction of ferredoxin. In the PFOR reaction, TPP reacts with pyruvate to form lactyl-TPP, which undergoes decarboxylation to form a hydroxyethyl-TPP (HE-TPP) intermediate. One electron is then transferred from HE-TPP to one of the three [4Fe-4S] clusters to form an HE-TPP radical and a [4Fe-4S]1+ intermediate. Pulsed EPR methods have been used to measure the distance between the HE-TPP radical and the [4Fe-4S]1+ cluster to which it is coupled. Computational analysis including the PFOR crystal structure and the spin distribution in the HE-TPP radical and in the reduced [4Fe-4S] cluster demonstrates that the distance between the HE-TPP radical and the medial cluster B matches the experimentally determined dipolar interaction, while one of the other two clusters is too close and the other is too far away. These results clearly demonstrate that it is the medial cluster (cluster B) that is reduced. Thus, rapid electron transfer occurs through the electron-transfer chain, which leaves an oxidized proximal cluster poised to accept an electron from the HE-TPP radical in the subsequent reaction step.

Imaging of Enzyme Activity by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance: Concept and Experiment Using a Paramagnetic Substrate of Alkaline Phosphatase.

Project description:Enzyme activities are well established biomarkers of many pathologies. Imaging enzyme activity directly in vivo may help to gain insight into the pathogenesis of various diseases but remains extremely challenging. In this communication, we report the use of EPR imaging (EPRI) in combination with a specially designed paramagnetic enzymatic substrate to map alkaline phosphatase activity with a high selectivity, thereby demonstrating the potential of EPRI to map enzyme activity.

Mn(2+)-nucleotide coordination at the myosin active site as detected by pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance.

Project description:Pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance at the microwave K(a) band (~30 GHz) was used to study the coordination of adenosine nucleotides to Mn(2+) at the active site of myosin ATPase and in solution. We have found that the electron spin echo (ESE) field sweep, electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) and ESE envelope modulation (ESEEM) techniques are not sufficiently specific for reliable differentiation between the solvated and myosin-bound Mn·nucleotide complexes. Therefore, to directly detect binding of the Mn·nucleotide to myosin, we used nonhydrolizable nucleotide analogs, site-directed spin labeling, and pulsed electron-electron double resonance to detect spin probe-manganese dipolar interaction. We found that under substoichiometric conditions, both Mn·AMPPNP and Mn·ADP·AlF(4) form a complex with myosin, and Mn·ADP does not form such a complex. This correlates well with the biological dissociation of Mg·ADP from myosin after the hydrolysis of ATP. The analysis of (31)P ENDOR spectra reveals that in Mn·AMPPNP, Mn·ATP, and Mn·ADP at myosin or in solution, the nucleotide is coordinated to Mn(2+) by two phosphate groups, whereas in Mn·ADP·AlF(4), only one phosphate group is coordinated. The observation of two phosphates and one nitrogen in the coordination sphere of Mn·ADP in solution by ESEEM spectroscopy suggests that a significant population of Mn ions is coordinated by two ADP molecules, one of which is coordinated by phosphates, and the other one, by a nitrogen atom. The developed approach will be generally useful for monitoring the metal-protein binding when such binding does not provide reliable spectroscopic signatures.

Design and implementation of an FPGA-based timing pulse programmer for pulsed-electron paramagnetic resonance applications.

Project description:The design, construction and implementation of a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) -based pulse programmer for pulsed-electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments is described. The FPGA pulse programmer offers advantages in design flexibility and cost over previous pulse programmers, that are based on commercial digital delay generators, logic pattern generators, and application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) designs. The FPGA pulse progammer features a novel transition-based algorithm and command protocol, that is optimized for the timing structure required for most pulsed magnetic resonance experiments. The algorithm was implemented by using a Spartan-6 FPGA (Xilinx), which provides an easily accessible and cost effective solution for FPGA interfacing. An auxiliary board was designed for the FPGA-instrument interface, which buffers the FPGA outputs for increased power consumption and capacitive load requirements. Device specifications include: Nanosecond pulse formation (transition edge rise/fall times, ≤3 ns), low jitter (≤150 ps), large number of channels (16 implemented; 48 available), and long pulse duration (no limit). The hardware and software for the device were designed for facile reconfiguration to match user experimental requirements and constraints. Operation of the device is demonstrated and benchmarked by applications to 1-D electron spin echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) and 2-D hyperfine sublevel correlation (HYSCORE) experiments. The FPGA approach is transferrable to applications in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR; magnetic resonance imaging, MRI), and to pulse perturbation and detection bandwidths in spectroscopies up through the optical range.

Analysis of conformational exchange processes using methyl-TROSY-based Hahn echo measurements of quadruple-quantum relaxation.

Project description:Transverse nuclear spin relaxation is a sensitive probe of chemical exchange on timescales on the order of microseconds to milliseconds. Here we present an experiment for the simultaneous measurement of the relaxation rates of two quadruple-quantum transitions in 13CH3-labelled methyl groups. These coherences are protected against relaxation by intra-methyl dipolar interactions and so have unexpectedly long lifetimes within perdeuterated biomacromolecules. However, these coherences also have an order of magnitude higher sensitivity to chemical exchange broadening than lower order coherences and therefore provide ideal probes of dynamic processes. We show that analysis of the static magnetic field dependence of zero-, double- and quadruple-quantum Hahn echo relaxation rates provides a robust indication of chemical exchange and can determine the signed relative magnitudes of proton and carbon chemical shift differences between ground and excited states. We also demonstrate that this analysis can be combined with established Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) relaxation dispersion measurements, providing improved precision in parameter estimates, particularly in the determination of 1H chemical shift differences.

Pulsed Multifrequency Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Reveals Key Branch Points for One- vs Two-Electron Reactivity in Mn/Fe Proteins.

Project description:Traditionally, the ferritin-like superfamily of proteins was thought to exclusively use a diiron active site in catalyzing a diverse array of oxygen-dependent reactions. In recent years, novel redox-active cofactors featuring heterobimetallic Mn/Fe active sites have been discovered in both the radical-generating R2 subunit of class Ic (R2c) ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs) and the related R2-like ligand-binding oxidases (R2lox). However, the protein-specific factors that differentiate the radical reactivity of R2c from the C-H activation reactions of R2lox remain unknown. In this work, multifrequency pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and ligand hyperfine techniques in conjunction with broken-symmetry density functional theory calculations are used to characterize the molecular and electronic structures of two EPR-active intermediates trapped during aerobic assembly of the R2lox Mn/Fe cofactor. A MnIII(μ-O)(μ-OH)FeIII species is identified as the first EPR-active species and represents a common state between the two classes of redox-active Mn/Fe proteins. The species downstream from the MnIII(μ-O)(μ-OH)FeIII state exhibits unique EPR properties, including unprecedented spectral breadth and isotope-dependent g-tensors, which are attributed to a weakly coupled, hydrogen-bonded MnIII(μ-OH)FeIII species. This final intermediate precedes formation of the MnIII/FeIII resting state and is suggested to be relevant to understanding the endogenous reactivity of R2lox.

Pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy of (33)S-labeled molybdenum cofactor in catalytically active bioengineered sulfite oxidase.

Project description:Molybdenum enzymes contain at least one pyranopterin dithiolate (molybdopterin, MPT) moiety that coordinates Mo through two dithiolate (dithiolene) sulfur atoms. For sulfite oxidase (SO), hyperfine interactions (hfi) and nuclear quadrupole interactions (nqi) of magnetic nuclei (I ≠ 0) near the Mo(V) (d(1)) center have been measured using high-resolution pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) methods and interpreted with the help of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. These have provided important insights about the active site structure and the reaction mechanism of the enzyme. However, it has not been possible to use EPR to probe the dithiolene sulfurs directly since naturally abundant (32)S has no nuclear spin (I = 0). Here we describe direct incorporation of (33)S (I = 3/2), the only stable magnetic sulfur isotope, into MPT using controlled in vitro synthesis with purified proteins. The electron spin echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) spectra from (33)S-labeled MPT in this catalytically active SO variant are dominated by the "interdoublet" transition arising from the strong nuclear quadrupole interaction, as also occurs for the (33)S-labeled exchangeable equatorial sulfite ligand [ Klein, E. L., et al. Inorg. Chem. 2012 , 51 , 1408 - 1418 ]. The estimated experimental hfi and nqi parameters for (33)S (aiso = 3 MHz and e(2)Qq/h = 25 MHz) are in good agreement with those predicted by DFT. In addition, the DFT calculations show that the two (33)S atoms are indistinguishable by EPR and reveal a strong intermixing between their out-of-plane pz orbitals and the dxy orbital of Mo(V).

Probing the Hydrogen Bonding of the Ferrous-NO Heme Center of nNOS by Pulsed Electron Paramagnetic Resonance.

Project description:Oxidation of L-arginine (L-Arg) to nitric oxide (NO) by NO synthase (NOS) takes place at the heme active site. It is of current interest to study structures of the heme species that activates O2 and transforms the substrate. The NOS ferrous-NO complex is a close mimic of the obligatory ferric (hydro)peroxo intermediate in NOS catalysis. In this work, pulsed electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy was used to probe the hydrogen bonding of the NO ligand in the ferrous-NO heme center of neuronal NOS (nNOS) without a substrate and with L-Arg or N-hydroxy-L-arginine (NOHA) substrates. Unexpectedly, no H-bonding interaction connecting the NO ligand to the active site water molecule or the Arg substrate was detected, in contrast to the results obtained by X-ray crystallography for the Arg-bound nNOS heme domain [Li et al. J. Biol. Inorg. Chem. 2006, 11, 753-768]. The nearby exchangeable proton in both the no-substrate and Arg-containing nNOS samples is located outside the H-bonding range and, on the basis of the obtained structural constraints, can belong to the active site water (or OH). On the contrary, in the NOHA-bound sample, the nearby exchangeable hydrogen forms an H-bond with the NO ligand (on the basis of its distance from the NO ligand and a nonzero isotropic hfi constant), but it does not belong to the active site water molecule because the water oxygen atom (detected by (17)O ENDOR) is too far. This hydrogen should therefore come from the NOHA substrate, which is in agreement with the X-ray crystallography work [Li et al. Biochemistry 2009, 48, 10246-10254]. The nearby nonexchangeable hydrogen atom assigned as H(ε) of Phe584 was detected in all three samples. This hydrogen atom may have a stabilizing effect on the NO ligand and probably determines its position.
