  2. 1. Simulation of Relaxation Processes in Fluorescence, EPR and NMR Spectroscopy

    Author : Pär Håkansson; Per-Olof Westlund; Yehudi K. Levine; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical chemistry; EPR; NMR; Energy migration; bicontinuous cubic phase; Stochastic Liouville Equation; Brownian Dynamics; Fysikalisk kemi; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry; fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : Relaxation models are developed using numerical solutions of the Stochastic Liouville Equation of motion. Simplified descriptions such as the stochastic master equation is described in the context of fluorescence depolarisation experiments. Redfield theory is used in order to describe NMR relaxation in bicontinuous phases. READ MORE

  4. 2. The Oxygen Evolving cycle in Photosystem II studied with EPR Spectroscopy at different pH and Temperature

    Author : Susan F Morvaridi; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Kemi; Chemistry; Naturvetenskap; Temperature; Natural science; pH; EPR; S cycle; Photosystem II;

    Abstract : PSII catalyses the light-induced water splitting process which leads to electron transfer through the thylakoid membrane and formation of energy rich molecules. Several redox components including a Mn4Ca, an amino acid residueYZ, two special Chl molecules P680, two Pheo and two quinone molecules participate in this process. READ MORE

  5. 3. Protein Engineering on Azurin. Expression Mutagenesis and Characterisation of Copper Site Mutants

    Author : B Göran Karlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; EPR spectroscopy; cassette mutagenesis; optical spectroscopy; amino acid exchange; Escherichia coli; electron transfer; reduction; azurin;

    Abstract : Azurin belongs to a family of small blue copper proteins or cupredoxins which participate in electron transfer processes in plants and bacteria. The type 1 copper site in these proteins is characterised by an intense blue colour, a narrow hyperfine coupling in the EPR signal and, generally, a high reduction potential. READ MORE

  6. 4. Imidazole containing polymers complexed with Cu2+ and Zn2+

    Author : Markus Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; vibrational spectroscopy; far-FTIR; EPR; cross-linking; DSC; Coordinating polymer; imidazole; mid-FTIR; metal ion;

    Abstract : An enormous problem for the shipping industry is fouling of marine organisms such as algae andbarnacles on the boat hull. The negative consequences for the society are both economical as well asenvironmental. To prevent fouling in general, biocides are typically incorporated directly into the paint. READ MORE

  7. 5. EPR Studies of Ruthenium-Manganese Complexes as Biomimetic Models for Photosystem II - Approaching Artificial Photosynthesis

    Author : Ping Huang; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; WOC; bridging-mode modification; water oxidation; EPR; Ru-Mn complexes; PSII; Artificial Photosynthesis; D donor -S sensitizer -A acceptor molecular module; High Mn valence states.; Biochemistry; Metabolism; Biokemi; metabolism;

    Abstract : In natural photosynthesis, solar energy is converted to chemical energy by photosynthetic reaction centers. In green plants and algae, Photosystem II (PSII) and Photosystem I (PSI) absorb light and utilize the charge separation reactions to convert solar energy to chemical energy. READ MORE
