title: ESE relaxation measurements in photosystem II. The influence of the reaction center non-heme iron on the spin-lattice relaxation of Tyr D.
abstract: The spin-lattice relaxation of the tyrosine radical D. in Photosystem II particles was studied at 4.2 K in samples in which flash-induced oscillations of the oxidation state of the Mn-cluster of the oxygen evolving system were abolished by addition of ANT2P, leaving Fe2+/Fe3+ oscillations intact. Samples subjected to 0, 1 or 2 light-flashes all showed the same relaxation kinetics. No period-2 oscillation in the spin-lattice relaxation corresponding to the Fe2+/Fe(3+)-oscillation was observed. Thus the T1-oscillations of D. as a function of flash number in untreated samples are solely caused by the charge-oscillations of the Mn-cluster (1989, Biochim, Biophys. Acta 973, 428-442).
