The EPR of reoxidized hydrogenase from Desulfovibrio vulgaris (H.) has been reinvestigated. In contrast to other workers [(1984) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 81, 3728-3732] we find the axial signal with g = 2.06; 2.01 to be only a minor component of concentration 0.03 spin/mol. In the spectrum of fully active reoxidized enzyme this signal is overshadowed by a rhombic signal (0.1 spin/mol) with g = 2.11; 2.05; 2.00 reminiscent of the only signal found for other oxidized bidirectional hydrogenases. In addition, a novel signal has been detected with geff = 5.0 which, under the assumptions that S = 2 and [delta ms] = 2, quantitates to roughly one spin/mol. Ethylene glycol affects the relative intensity of the different signals. It is suggested that O2 sensitization parallels a spin-state transition of an iron-sulfur cluster.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007506 Iron-Sulfur Proteins A group of proteins possessing only the iron-sulfur complex as the prosthetic group. These proteins participate in all major pathways of electron transport: photosynthesis, respiration, hydroxylation and bacterial hydrogen and nitrogen fixation. Iron-Sulfur Protein,Iron Sulfur Proteins,Iron Sulfur Protein,Protein, Iron-Sulfur,Proteins, Iron Sulfur,Proteins, Iron-Sulfur,Sulfur Proteins, Iron
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D003901 Desulfovibrio A genus of gram-negative, anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria capable of reducing sulfur compounds to hydrogen sulfide. Organisms are isolated from anaerobic mud of fresh and salt water, animal intestines, manure, and feces.
D004578 Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy A technique applicable to the wide variety of substances which exhibit paramagnetism because of the magnetic moments of unpaired electrons. The spectra are useful for detection and identification, for determination of electron structure, for study of interactions between molecules, and for measurement of nuclear spins and moments. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, 7th edition) Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is a variant of the technique which can give enhanced resolution. Electron spin resonance analysis can now be used in vivo, including imaging applications such as MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.

D004789 Enzyme Activation Conversion of an inactive form of an enzyme to one possessing metabolic activity. It includes 1, activation by ions (activators); 2, activation by cofactors (coenzymes); and 3, conversion of an enzyme precursor (proenzyme or zymogen) to an active enzyme. Activation, Enzyme,Activations, Enzyme,Enzyme Activations
D006864 Hydrogenase An enzyme found in bacteria. It catalyzes the reduction of FERREDOXIN and other substances in the presence of molecular hydrogen and is involved in the electron transport of bacterial photosynthesis. Ferredoxin Hydrogenase,H2-Oxidizing Hydrogenase,Hydrogenlyase,H2 Oxidizing Hydrogenase,Hydrogenase, Ferredoxin,Hydrogenase, H2-Oxidizing
