Normal modes of redox-active tyrosine: Conformation dependence and comparison to experiment
Article Abstract:
The Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) results obtained from the characterizations of tyrosinate, tyrosyl radical and their isotopologues at 77 K are illustrated. The obtained results are compared to vibrational spectra associated with the oxidation of a redox active tyrosine in photosystem II (PS II), the photosynthetic water splitting enzyme.

Redox-active tyrosine residues in pentapeptides
Article Abstract:
The spectroscopic properties of tyrosyl radicals at 85 K is studied to develop the understanding of the effect of protein sequence on photophysical properties. The sequence of the pentapeptides is chosen to mimic peptide sequences found in redox-active tyrosine containing enzymes, ribonucleotide reductase and photosystem II.

ESEEM studies of peptide nitrogen hyperfine coupling in tyrosyl radicals and model peptides
Article Abstract:
A study report on [super 14]N- and [super 15]N-electron spin echo envelope modulation of model tyrosyl radical aimed at measuring weak hyperfine couplings to the amine nitrogen which reveal sequence- or conformation-induced changes in the ionic character of the NH bond in different tyrosine-containing peptides is presented.
