Measurements were performed on a Bruker ELEXYS E500 spectrometer using an ER049X SuperX microwave bridge in a Bruker SHQ0601 cavity equipped with an Oxford Instruments continuous flow cryostat and using an ITC 503 temperature controller (Oxford Instruments). Measurement temperatures ranged from 5 to 30 K, using liquid helium as coolant. The spectrometer was controlled by the Xepr software package (Bruker). EPR samples were frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen. The EPR spectra shown are representative signals from at least two individual experiments. Spin quantification was performed through double integration of the EPR spectra and calculated relative to NrdB∆169Mn. Unless otherwise stated, all spectra were recorded at 10 K, microwave power 1 mW, frequency 9.28 GHz, modulation amplitude 10 G and modulation frequency 100 kHz.

The EPR spectra shown are representative signals from at least two individual experiments. The individual experiments show some preparation dependent differences, but the amplitude of these background signals are negligible compared to the signal intensity of the [2Fe]adt activated HydA1. Measurements were performed on a Bruker ELEXYS E500 spectrometer using an ER049X SuperX microwave bridge in a Bruker SHQ0601 cavity (Fig. 2) or a Bruker EMX micro equipped with an EMX Premium bridge and an ER4119 HS resonator (Fig. 5 and S13–S15), both equipped with an Oxford Instruments continuous flow cryostat and using an ITC 503 temperature controller (Oxford Instruments). Measurement temperatures ranged from 10 to 20 K, using liquid helium as coolant, with the following EPR settings unless otherwise stated: microwave power 1 mW, modulation amplitude 1 mT, modulation frequency 100 kHz.

EPR samples were prepared under strict anaerobic conditions. The proteins were reduced with a 10-fold molar excess of sodium dithionite, and the reaction was monitored by UV-visible spectroscopy. The samples were transferred into quartz EPR tubes capped with rubber septa and immediately flash-frozen outside the glovebox. The EPR samples were stored in liquid nitrogen until further usage.
The CW EPR measurements were carried out on a Bruker Elexys 500X-band spectrometer using an ER049X SuperX microwave bridge in a Bruker SHQ0601 resonator, equipped with an Oxford Instruments continuous-flow cryostat and an ITC 503 temperature controller (Oxford Instruments). Low temperatures were achieved using liquid helium as the coolant. The spectrometer was controlled by the Xepr software package (Bruker). Standard measuring parameters were 10-G modulation amplitude and 100-kHz modulation frequency. The spectra were averaged over either four or eight scans.

EPR Spectroscopic Analysis of Iron-Sulfur Clusters in Huc

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The composition of the iron–sulfur clusters of Huc was analysed by EPR spectroscopy. X-band EPR measurements were performed on a Bruker ELEXYS E500 spectrometer equipped with a SuperX EPR049 microwave bridge and a cylindrical TE011 ER 4122SHQE cavity in connection with an Oxford Instruments continuous flow cryostat. Measuring temperatures were achieved using liquid helium flow through an ITC 503 temperature controller (Oxford Instruments). Samples of Huc isolated in air were prepared under a neat argon atmosphere or flash-frozen following incubation under 1 atm H2, and X-band EPR spectra were collected in the temperature range 40–7 K, at varying microwave powers. Preliminary simulations of the Ni signals in the EPR spectra were carried out using EasySpin v.6.0.0-dev47 (ref. 78 (link)).

Q-band DEER Spectroscopy for Distance Distributions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The dipolar time evolution data was obtained at 83–200 K using a standard DEER four-pulse protocol, (π/2)mw1–τ1–(π)mw1–τ1–(π)mw2–τ2–(π)mw1–τ2–echo,86 on a Bruker 580 pulsed EPR spectrometer operating at Q-band frequency (33.9 GHz). All pulses were square pulses with lengths of 12, 24, and 40 ns, for (π/2)mw1, (π)mw1, and (π)mw2, respectively. Temperature control was provided by an Oxford Instruments continuous flow cryostat controlled by an ITC503 temperature controller unit. Distance distributions were obtained from the time evolution data by assuming that the distance distribution can be approximated by a sum of Gaussians,87 ,88 (link) including Gaussian distance distributions with 95% confidence bands.65

Continuous wave EPR experiments at variable temperatures (5–70 K) were carried out at a Bruker ESP300 spectrometer equipped with a continuous flow cryostat (Oxford Instruments) and a Bruker ER 4116DM dual mode resonator, which operates both in the perpendicular ~ 9.6 GHz (TE102) and parallel ~ 9.4 GHz (TE012) microwave modes, respectively. The microwave frequency was measured with a 5350B Hewlett Packard frequency counter. For all experiments custom-made quartz tubes of the same inner and outer diameter were used (QSI). All quantifications were carried out using spectra recorded at T = 10 K. The first-derivative EPR spectra were simulated using the MATLAB (Mathworks)-based Easyspin simulation software.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
