communicate with you
- Keep the abstract text in one paragraph. If literature citations are
needed, insert them in parentheses and not as footnotes. Credits, if any,
should be added at the end of the abstract, but not as a new paragraph.

- Acetate-inhibited photosystem II, upon room temperature illumination,
exhibits a 240 G wide X-band EPR signal at 10 K.1
This EPR signal arises from an interaction between the S2
state of the Mn4 cluster and an oxidized
tyrosine residue, Yz.2
In the present study, the exchange and dipolar interactions
between the two paramagnetic species are simulated at X and Q-band
frequencies utilizing second-order perturbation theory.3
The positions and relative intensities of the hyperfine lines in the S = ½ S2
-state multiline EPR signal are accurately simulated by
including g-anisotropy and four sets of axially symmetric
55Mn hyperfine tensors. These parameters are
then used to simulate the dipolar and exchange interactions giving rise to
the broad experimental S2 Yz
EPR signal at X and Q-band frequencies. A precise distance determination
between the Mn4 Cluster and Yz
in the O2-evolving complex better enables us to elucidate the direct
involvement of Yz in water-oxidation
chemistry. Supported by NIH GM32715 and GM36442 (Yale) and NIH GM21156
