From the temperature dependence of the Orbach relaxation rate of the paramagnetic center in horseradish peroxidase (HRP), we deduce an excited-state energy of 40.9 +/- 1.1 K. Similar studies on the broad EPR signal of HRP compound I indicate a much weaker Orbach relaxation process involving an excited state at 36.8 +/- 2.5 K. The strength of the Orbach process in HRP-I is weaker than one would normally estimate by 2-4 orders of magnitude. This fact lends support to the model of HRP-I involving a spin 1/2 free radical coupled to a spin 1 Fe4+ heme iron via a weak exchange interaction. Such a system should exhibit an Orbach relaxation process involving delta E, the excited state of the Fe4+ ion, but reduced in strength by (Jyy/delta E)2, where Jyy is related to the strength of the exchange interaction between the two spin systems.
从辣根过氧化物酶(HRP)中顺磁中心的奥巴赫弛豫速率与温度的依赖关系,我们推断出激发态能量为40.9±1.1K。对HRP化合物I的宽EPR信号进行的类似研究表明,存在一个弱得多的奥巴赫弛豫过程,涉及36.8±2.5K的激发态。HRP-I中奥巴赫过程的强度比正常估计值弱2至4个数量级。这一事实支持了HRP-I的模型,该模型涉及一个自旋为1/2的自由基通过弱交换相互作用与自旋为1的Fe4+血红素铁耦合。这样一个系统应该表现出一个涉及δE(Fe4+离子的激发态)的奥巴赫弛豫过程,但其强度会因(Jyy/δE)2而降低,其中Jyy与两个自旋系统之间交换相互作用的强度有关。
