Abstract

1. To use time-resolved resonance Raman spectroscopy to investigate the structure and interactions of free radical intermediates formed within the catalytic cycle of the TOPAquinone-containing enzyme copper amine oxidase. 2. To develop caged amine substrates which will allow objective 1) to be achieved using a two laser pump-probe method. 3. To use reaction techniques to measure the redox properties of the TOPAsemiquinone radical and related semi-iminoquinone radicals both in model systems and in copper amine oxidases. 4. To assess the feasibility of using similar techniques to study other protein- radical enzymes.
