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.

Multi-Frequency EPR Analysis of Dipolar and Exchange
Interactions Between Managese and Tyrosine In The S2 Yz

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 (Denver).
