Abstract
Water oxidation in photosystem II (PSII) is performed by the oxygen-evolving complex Mn4CaO5 which can be extracted from PSII and then reconstructed using exogenous cations Mn(II) and Ca2+. The binding efficiency of other cations to the Mn-binding sites in Mn-depleted PSII was investigated without any positive results. At the same time, a study of the Fe cations interaction with Mn-binding sites showed that it binds at a level comparable with the binding of Mn cations. Binding of Fe(II) cations first requires its light-dependent oxidation. In general, the interaction of Fe(II) with Mn-depleted PSII has a number of features similar to the two-quantum model of photoactivation of the complex with the release of oxygen. Interestingly, incubation of Ca-depleted PSII with Fe(II) cations under certain conditions is accompanied by the formation of a chimeric cluster Mn/Fe in the oxygen-evolving complex. PSII with the cluster 2Mn2Fe was found to be capable of water oxidation, but only to the H2O2 intermediate. However, the cluster 3Mn1Fe can oxidize water to O2 with an efficiency about 25% of the original in the absence of extrinsic proteins PsbQ and PsbP. In the presence of these proteins, the efficiency of O2 evolution can reach 80% of the original when adding exogenous Ca2+. In this review, we summarized information on the formation of chimeric Mn-Fe clusters in the oxygen-evolving complex. The data cited may be useful for detailing the mechanism of water oxidation.

Abstract
One of the hallmark advances in our understanding of metalloprotein function is showcased in our ability to design new, non-native, catalytically active protein scaffolds. This review highlights progress and milestone achievements in the field of de novo metalloprotein design focused on reports from the past decade with special emphasis on de novo designs couched within common subfields of bioinorganic study: heme binding proteins, monometal- and dimetal-containing catalytic sites, and metal-containing electron transfer sites. Within each subfield, we highlight several of what we have identified as significant and important contributions to either our understanding of that subfield or de novo metalloprotein design as a discipline. These reports are placed in context both historically and scientifically. General suggestions for future directions that we feel will be important to advance our understanding or accelerate discovery are discussed.

Abstract
With a view to developing multimetallic molecular catalysts that mimic the oxygen-evolving catalyst (OEC) in Nature's photosystem II, the synthesis of various dicubanoid manganese clusters is described and their catalytic activity investigated for water oxidation in basic, aqueous solution. Pyridinemethanol-based ligands are known to support polynuclear and cubanoid structures in manganese coordination chemistry. The chelators 2,6-pyridinedimethanol (H2 L1 ) and 6-methyl-2-pyridinemethanol (HL2 ) were chosen to yield polynuclear manganese complexes; namely, the tetranuclear defective dicubanes [MnII 2 MnIII 2 (HL1 )4 (OAc)4 (OMe)2 ] and [MnII 2 MnIII 2 (HL1 )6 (OAc)2 ] (OAc)2 ⋅2 H2 O, as well as the octanuclear-dicubanoid [MnII 6 MnIII 2 (L2 )4 (O)2 (OAc)10 (HOMe/OH2 )2 ]⋅3MeOH⋅MeCN. In freshly prepared solutions, polynuclear species were detected by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, whereas X-band electron paramagnetic resonance studies in dilute, liquid solution suggested the presence of divalent mononuclear Mn species with g values of 2. However, the magnetochemical investigation of the complexes' solutions by the Evans technique confirmed a haphazard combination of manganese coordination complexes, from mononuclear to polynuclear species. Subsequently, the newly synthesized and characterized manganese molecular complexes were employed as precursors to prepare electrode-deposited films in a buffer-free solution to evaluate and compare their stability and catalytic activity for water oxidation electrocatalysis.

Abstract
Three atomic resolution crystal structures of Photosystem II, in the double flashed, nominal S3 intermediate state of its Mn4 Ca Water Oxidising Complex (WOC), have now been presented, at 2.25, 2.35 and 2.08 Å resolution. Although very similar overall, the S3 structures differ within the WOC catalytic site. The 2.25 Å structure contains only one oxy species (O5) in the WOC cavity, weakly associated with Mn centres, similar to that in the earlier 1.95 Å S1 structure. The 2.35 Å structure shows two such species (O5, O6), with the Mn centres and O5 positioned as in the 2.25 Å structure and O5-O6 separation of ∼1.5 Å. In the latest S3 variant, two oxy species are also seen (O5, Ox), with the Ox group appearing only in S3 , closely ligating one Mn, with O5-Ox separation <2.1 Å. The O5 and O6/Ox groups were proposed to be substrate water derived species. Recently, Petrie et al. (Chem. Phys. Chem., 2017) presented large scale Quantum Chemical modelling of the 2.25 Å structure, quantitatively explaining all significant features within the WOC region. This, as in our earlier studies, assumed a 'low' Mn oxidation paradigm (mean S1 Mn oxidation level of +3.0, Petrie et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 2015), rather than a 'high' oxidation model (mean S1 oxidation level of +3.5). In 2018 we showed (Chem. Phys. Chem., 2018) this oxidation state assumption predicted two energetically close S3 structural forms, one with the metal centres and O5 (as OH- ) positioned as in the 2.25 Å structure, and the other with the metals similarly placed, but with O5 (as H2 O) located in the O6 position of the 2.35 Å structure. The 2.35 Å two flashed structure was likely a crystal superposition of two such forms. Here we show, by similar computational analysis, that the latest 2.08 Å S3 structure is also a likely superposition of forms, but with O5 (as OH- ) occupying either the O5 or Ox positions in the WOC cavity. This highlights a remarkable structural 'lability' of the WOC centre in the S3 state, which is likely catalytically relevant to its water splitting function.

Abstract
Large amounts of wastewater are generated from stone processing, which are toxic and cause serious environmental and health risks. To quantify the content of stone processing wastewater and estimate its effects on plant growth, we collected water samples from sewage outfall of four stone processing factories and nearby water bodies. The concentration of potential toxic metals were much higher in the wastewater than background controls. Wastewater inhibited plant primary root elongation, lateral root formation, and growth of aerial part. Seedlings treated with the effluents were unhealthy with deep purple leaves and usually died before flowering. Chlorophyll a/b contents and chloroplast number were reduced in those abnormal mesophyll cells. Transcriptional levels were decreased for chloroplast formation genes, but increased for those participated in chloroplast degradation and catabolism. Six out of nine tested senescence-associated genes were up-regulated. Furthermore, our results show that endogenous toxic metal levels indeed increased after wastewater treatment. Altogether, these results indicated that the potential toxic metals rich wastewater had significant inhibition on plant growth and led to senescence-associated program cell death, which could be helpful for the government and enterprises to understand the environmental risks and formulate reasonable wastewater emission standards for the stone processing industry.

Abstract
Resolving the questions, namely, the selection of Mn by nature to build the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) and the presence of a cubic Mn3CaO4 structure in OEC coupled with an additional dangling Mn (Mn4) via μ-O atom are not only important to uncover the secret of water oxidation in nature, but also essential to achieve a blueprint for developing advanced water-oxidation catalysts for artificial photosynthesis. Based on the important experimental results reported so far in the literature and on our own findings, we propose a new hypothesis for the water oxidation mechanism in OEC. In this new hypothesis, we propose for the first time, a complete catalytic cycle involving a charge-rearrangement-induced MnVII-dioxo species on the dangling Mn4 during the S3 → S4 transition. Moreover, the O-O bond is formed within this MnVII-dioxo site, which is totally different from that discussed in other existing proposals.

Abstract
Recently two atomic resolution crystal structures of Photosystem II, in the double flashed, nominal S3 intermediate state of its Mn4 Ca water oxidising complex (WOC), have been presented (Young et al., Nature 2016, 540, 453; Suga et al., Nature 2017, 543, 131). These structures are at 2.25 Å and 2.35 Å resolution, respectively. Although highly similar in most respects, the structures differ in a key region within the WOC catalytic site. In the 2.25 Å structure, one oxy species (O5) is observed within the WOC cavity, weakly associated with the Mn centres, similar to that seen earlier in the 1.95 Å XRD structure of the S1 intermediate (Suga et al., Nature, 2015, 517, 99). In the 2.35 Å structure, two such species are seen (O5, O6), with the Mn centres and O5 positioned as in the 2.25 Å structure and an O5-O6 separation of ∼1.5 Å, consistent with peroxo formation. This suggests O5 and O6 are substrate water derived species in this double flashed form. Recently we have presented (Petrie, et al., Chem. Phys. Chem., 2017) a large scale (220 atom) quantum chemical model of the Young et al. 2.25 Å structure, which quantitatively explains all significant features within the WOC region of that structure, particularly the positions of the metal centres and O5 group. Critical to this was our assumption of a 'low' Mn oxidation paradigm (mean S1 Mn oxidation level of +3.0, Petrie et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 2015), rather than a 'high' oxidation model (mean S1 oxidation level of +3.5), widely assumed in the literature. Here we show that our same oxidation state model predicts two classes of energetically close S3 structural forms, analogous to the S1 state, one with the metal centres and O5 positioned as in the 2.25 Å structure, and the other with the metals similarly placed, but with O5 located in the O6 position of the 2.35 Å structure. We show that the Suga et al. 2.35 Å structure is likely a superposition of two such forms, one from each class, which is consistent with reported atomic occupancies for that structure and the relative total energies we calculate for the two structural forms.

Abstract
Oxygen evolution electrocatalysis has received extensive attention due to its significance in biology, chemistry, and technology. However, it is still unclear how the abundant 3d-elements can be used to drive the four-electron oxidation of water as efficiently as in Nature. In this Feature Article, we will propose a design strategy concerning the optimization of the charge accumulation process based on our ongoing spectroelectrochemical study on Mn, Fe, and Ir oxygen evolution catalysts. Spectroscopic identification of the reaction intermediates showed that the activity of MnO2 and Fe2O3 was dictated by the generation of Mn3+ and Fe4+, whereas in the case of IrOx, the activity did not correlate with the valence change of Ir. The efficiency of charge accumulation through valence change is closely linked with the spin configuration of the metal center, because charge disproportionation, which was found to inhibit charge accumulation in the high-spin 3d metals, requires an electron in the eg orbital. In addition to directly increasing the overpotential through the generation of an unstable intermediate, charge disproportionation inhibits charge accumulation by dissipating the total oxidative energy of the system. A favorable charge accumulation process may also be beneficial for electrode kinetics due to the enhanced coupling between reaction rates and electrochemical driving force. The model proposed in this study may help explain why low-spin 4d/5d rare metals are often more active than the abundant high-spin 3d materials for multi-electron transfer reactions in general, and provides new insight into how active 3d-metal catalysts can be synthesized by optimizing the energetics of both bond formation and charge accumulation.

Abstract
Phosphorus ester hydrolysis is one of the key chemical processes in biological systems, including signaling, free-energy transaction, protein synthesis, and maintaining the integrity of genetic material. Hydrolysis of this otherwise kinetically stable phosphoester and/or phosphoanhydride bond is induced by enzymes such as purple acid phosphatase. Here, I report that, as in previously reported aged inorganic iron ion solutions, the iron oxide nanoparticles in the solution, which are trapped in a dialysis membrane tube filled with the various iron oxides, significantly promote the hydrolysis of the various phosphate esters, including the inorganic polyphosphates, with enzyme-like kinetics. This observation, along with those of recent studies of iron oxide, vanadium pentoxide, and molybdenum trioxide nanoparticles that behave as mimics of peroxidase, bromoperoxidase, and sulfite oxidase, respectively, indicates that the oxo-metal bond in the oxide nanoparticles is critical for the function of these corresponding natural metalloproteins. These inorganic biocatalysts challenge the traditional concept of replicator-first scenarios and support the metabolism-first hypothesis. As biocatalysts, these inorganic nanoparticles with enzyme-like activity may work in natural terrestrial environments and likely were at work in early Earth environments as well. They may have played an important role in the C, H, O, S, and P metabolic pathway with regard to the emergence and early evolution of life.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are promising for catalysis, sensing, gas storage, adsorption, optoelectricity, etc. owning to the unprecedented combination of large surface area, high crystallinity, tunable pore size, and unique molecular architecture. Although COFs are in their initial research stage, progress has been made in the design and synthesis of COF-based electrocatalysis for the oxygen reduction reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, hydrogen evolution reaction, and CO2 reduction in energy conversion and fuel generation. Design principles are also established for some of the COF materials toward rational design and rapid screening of the best electrocatalysts for a specific application. Herein, the recent advances in the design and synthesis of COF-based catalysts for clean energy conversion and storage are presented. Future research directions and perspectives are also being discussed for the development of efficient COF-based electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Computational chemistry with the data from more detailed X-ray diffraction (XRD) oxygen evolving complex (OEC) structure has been used extensively of late in exploring the mechanisms of water oxidation in the OEC. The study reported in this paper involves density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate whether the data are in agreement with the four manganese ions in the OEC, being organized as a ‘3[Formula: see text]1’ (trimer plus one) model [Gatt et al. Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 51, 12025–12028, 2012; Petrie et al. Chemistry - A European Journal, 21, 6780–6792, 2015; Terrett et al. Chemical Communications, 50, 3187–3190, 2014] or ‘dimer of dimers’ model. [Terrett et al. Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry, 162, 178–189, 2016]. The data analysis method used involves quantum chemical DFT calculations on relevant models of the OEC cluster. DFT calculations were performed using both the so-called ‘open’ and ‘closed’ forms [Terrett et al. Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry, 162, 178–189, 2016] of the S2 OEC structure models with total spin ([Formula: see text]) 1/2, 7/2, 9/2 and 15/2 within the MnIII MnIV MnIII MnIII ‘low’ oxidation paradigm to examine exchange coupling within the OEC cluster. The results show that the [Formula: see text]-coupling in the ‘closed’ form: [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text], [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text], [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text]. In the ‘closed’ form, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] represent the two largest exchange interactions within the manganese cluster, whereas [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are small and almost net cancel. The magnetic coupling between the four Mn ions is close to ‘dimer of dimers’, with both dimers anti-ferromagnetically coupled internally and with weak inter-dimer net coupling.

Abstract
Extraction of Mn cations from the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of Ca-depleted PSII membranes (PSII[-Ca,4Mn]) by reductants like hydroquinone (H2Q) occurs with lower efficiency at acidic pH (2Mn/reaction center [RC] are extracted at pH5.7) than at neutral pH (3Mn/RC are extracted at pH6.5) [Semin et al. Photosynth. Res. 125 (2015) 95]. Fe(II) also extracts Mn cations from PSII(-Ca,4Mn), but only 2Mn/RC at pH6.5, forming a heteronuclear 2Mn/2Fe cluster [Semin and Seibert, J. Bioenerg. Biomembr. 48 (2016) 227]. Here we investigated the efficiency of Mn extraction by Fe(II) at acidic pH and found that Fe(II) cations can extract only 1Mn/RC from PSII(-Ca,4Mn) membranes at pH 5.7, forming a 3Mn/1Fe cluster. Also we found that the presence of Fe cations in a heteronuclear cluster (2Mn/2Fe) increases the resistance of the remaining Mn cations to H2Q action, since H2Q can extract Mn cations from homonuclear Mn clusters of PSII(-Ca,4Mn) and PSII(-Ca,2Mn) membranes but not from the heteronuclear cluster in PSII(-Ca,2Mn,2Fe) membranes. H2Q also cannot extract Mn from PSII membranes obtained by incubation of PSII(-Ca,4Mn) membranes with Fe(II) cations at pH5.7, which suggests the formation of a heteronuclear 3Mn/1Fe cluster in the OEC. Functional activity of PSII with a 3Mn/1Fe cluster was investigated. PSII preparations with a 3Mn/1Fe cluster in the OEC are able to photoreduce the exogenous electron acceptor 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol, possibly due to incomplete oxidation of water molecules as is the case with PSII(-Ca,2Mn,2Fe) samples. However, in the contrast to PSII(-Ca,2Mn,2Fe) samples PSII(-Ca,3Mn,1Fe) membranes can evolve O2 at a low rate in the presence of exogenous Ca2+ (at about 27% of the rate of O2 evolution in native PSII membranes). The explanation for this phenomenon (either water splitting and production of molecular O2 by the 3Mn/1Fe cluster or apparent O2 evolution due to minor contamination of PSII(3Mn,1Fe) samples with PSII(-Ca,4Mn) membranes) is discussed.

Abstract
In oxygenic photosynthesis, water is oxidized and dioxygen is produced at a Mn4Ca complex bound to the proteins of photosystem II (PSII). Valence and coordination changes in its catalytic S-state cycle are of great interest. In room-temperature (in situ) experiments, time-resolved energy-sampling X-ray emission spectroscopy of the Mn Kβ1,3 line after laser-flash excitation of PSII membrane particles was applied to characterize the redox transitions in the S-state cycle. The Kβ1,3 line energies suggest a high-valence configuration of the Mn4Ca complex with Mn(III)3Mn(IV) in S0, Mn(III)2Mn(IV)2 in S1, Mn(III)Mn(IV)3 in S2, and Mn(IV)4 in S3 and, thus, manganese oxidation in each of the three accessible oxidizing transitions of the water-oxidizing complex. There are no indications of formation of a ligand radical, thus rendering partial water oxidation before reaching the S4 state unlikely. The difference spectra of both manganese Kβ1,3 emission and K-edge X-ray absorption display different shapes for Mn(III) oxidation in the S2 → S3 transition when compared to Mn(III) oxidation in the S1 → S2 transition. Comparison to spectra of manganese compounds with known structures and oxidation states and varying metal coordination environments suggests a change in the manganese ligand environment in the S2 → S3 transition, which could be oxidation of five-coordinated Mn(III) to six-coordinated Mn(IV). Conceivable options for the rearrangement of (substrate) water species and metal-ligand bonding patterns at the Mn4Ca complex in the S2 → S3 transition are discussed.

Abstract
We have investigated the interaction of Fe(II) cations with Ca-depleted PSII membranes (PSII[-Ca,4Mn]) in the dark and found that Fe(II) incubation removes 2 of 4 Mn ions from the tetranuclear Mn cluster of the photosynthetic O2-evolving complex (OEC). The reduction of Mn ions in PSII(-Ca,4Mn) by Fe(II) and the concomitant release of two Mn(II) cations is accompanied by the binding of newly generated Fe(III) in at least one vacated Mn site. Flash-induced chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence yield measurements of this new 2Mn/nFe cluster (PSII[-Ca,2Mn,nFe]) show that charge recombination in the presence of 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (DCMU) occurs between Qa (-) and the remaining Mn/Fe cluster (but not YZ (●)) in the OEC, and extraction of 2 Mn occurs uniformly in all PSII complexes. No O2 evolution is observed, but the heteronuclear metal cluster in PSII(-Ca,2Mn,nFe) samples is still able to supply electrons for reduction of the exogenous electron acceptor, 2,6-dichlorophrenolindophenol, by photooxidizing water and producing H2O2 in the absence of an exogenous donor as seen previously with PSII(-Ca,4Mn). Selective extraction of Mn or Fe cations from the 2Mn/nFe heteronuclear cluster demonstrates that the high-affinity Mn-binding site is occupied by one of the iron cations. It is notable that partial water-oxidation function still occurs when only two Mn cations are present in the PSII OEC.

Abstract
The IR absorptions of several first-shell carboxylate ligands of the water oxidizing complex (WOC) have been experimentally shown to be unaffected by oxidation state changes in the WOC during its catalytic cycle. Several model clusters that mimic the Mn4O5Ca core of the WOC in the S1 state, with electronic configurations that correspond to both the so-called "high" and "low" oxidation paradigms, were investigated. Deprotonation at W2, W1, or O3 sites was found to strongly reduce carboxylate ligand frequency shifts on oxidation of the metal cluster. The frequency shifts were smallest in neutrally charged clusters where the initial mean Mn oxidation state was +3, with W2 as an hydroxide and O5 a water. Deprotonation also reduced and balanced the oxidation energy of all clusters in successive oxidations.

Abstract
All cyanobacteria, algae, and plants use a similar water-oxidizing catalyst for water oxidation. This catalyst is housed in Photosystem II, a membrane-protein complex that functions as a light-driven water oxidase in oxygenic photosynthesis. Water oxidation is also an important reaction in artificial photosynthesis because it has the potential to provide cheap electrons from water for hydrogen production or for the reduction of carbon dioxide on an industrial scale. The water-oxidizing complex of Photosystem II is a Mn-Ca cluster that oxidizes water with a low overpotential and high turnover frequency number of up to 25-90 molecules of O2 released per second. In this Review, we discuss the atomic structure of the Mn-Ca cluster of the Photosystem II water-oxidizing complex from the viewpoint that the underlying mechanism can be informative when designing artificial water-oxidizing catalysts. This is followed by consideration of functional Mn-based model complexes for water oxidation and the issue of Mn complexes decomposing to Mn oxide. We then provide a detailed assessment of the chemistry of Mn oxides by considering how their bulk and nanoscale properties contribute to their effectiveness as water-oxidizing catalysts.

Abstract
Amorphous thin film oxygen evolving catalysts, OECs, of first-row transition metals show promise to serve as self-assembling photoanode materials in solar-driven, photoelectrochemical `artificial leaf' devices. This report demonstrates the ability to use high-energy X-ray scattering and atomic pair distribution function analysis, PDF, to resolve structure in amorphous metal oxide catalyst films. The analysis is applied here to resolve domain structure differences induced by oxyanion substitution during the electrochemical assembly of amorphous cobalt oxide catalyst films, Co-OEC. PDF patterns for Co-OEC films formed using phosphate, Pi, methylphosphate, MPi, and borate, Bi, electrolyte buffers show that the resulting domains vary in size following the sequence Pi < MPi < Bi. The increases in domain size for CoMPi and CoBi were found to be correlated with increases in the contributions from bilayer and trilayer stacked domains having structures intermediate between those of the LiCoOO and CoO(OH) mineral forms. The lattice structures and offset stacking of adjacent layers in the partially stacked CoMPi and CoBi domains were best matched to those in the LiCoOO layered structure. The results demonstrate the ability of PDF analysis to elucidate features of domain size, structure, defect content and mesoscale organization for amorphous metal oxide catalysts that are not readily accessed by other X-ray techniques. PDF structure analysis is shown to provide a way to characterize domain structures in different forms of amorphous oxide catalysts, and hence provide an opportunity to investigate correlations between domain structure and catalytic activity.

Abstract
A compelling target for the design of electron transfer proteins with novel cofactors is to create a model for the oxygen-evolving complex, a Mn4Ca cluster, of photosystem II. A mononuclear Mn cofactor can be added to the bacterial reaction center, but the addition of multiple metal centers is constrained by the native protein architecture. Alternatively, metal centers can be incorporated into artificial proteins. Designs for the addition of dinuclear metal centers to four-helix bundles resulted in three artificial proteins with ligands for one, two, or three dinuclear metal centers able to bind Mn. The three-dimensional structure determined by X-ray crystallography of one of the Mn-proteins confirmed the design features and revealed details concerning coordination of the Mn center. Electron transfer between these artificial Mn-proteins and bacterial reaction centers was investigated using optical spectroscopy. After formation of a light-induced, charge-separated state, the experiments showed that the Mn-proteins can donate an electron to the oxidized bacteriochlorophyll dimer of modified reaction centers, with the Mn-proteins having additional metal centers being more effective at this electron transfer reaction. Modeling of the structure of the Mn-protein docked to the reaction center showed that the artificial protein likely binds on the periplasmic surface similarly to cytochrome c2, the natural secondary donor. Combining reaction centers with exogenous artificial proteins provides the opportunity to create ligands and investigate the influence of inhomogeneous protein environments on multinuclear redox-active metal centers. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Biodesign for Bioenergetics--the design and engineering of electronic transfer cofactors, proteins and protein networks, edited by Ronald L. Koder and J.L. Ross Anderson.

Abstract
We report the first (55)Mn pulsed ENDOR studies on the S2 state multiline spin ½ centre of the oxygen evolving complex (OEC) in Photosystem II (PS II), at temperatures below 4.2 K. These were performed on highly active samples of spinach PS II core complexes, developed previously in our laboratories for photosystem spectroscopic use, at temperatures down to 2.5 K. Under these conditions, relaxation effects which have previously hindered observation of most of the manganese ENDOR resonances from the OEC coupled Mn cluster are suppressed. (55)Mn ENDOR hyperfine couplings ranging from ∼50 to ∼680 MHz are now seen on the S2 state multiline EPR signal. These, together with complementary high resolution X-band CW EPR measurements and detailed simulations, reveal that at least two and probably three Mn hyperfine couplings with large anisotropy are seen, indicating that three Mn(III) ions are likely present in the functional S2 state of the enzyme. This suggests a low oxidation state paradigm for the OEC (mean Mn oxidation level 3.0 in the S1 state) and unexpected Mn exchange coupling in the S2 state, with two Mn ions nearly magnetically silent. Our results rationalize a number of previous ligand ESEEM/ENDOR studies and labelled water exchange experiments on the S2 state of the photosystem, in a common picture which is closely consistent with recent photo-assembly (Kolling et al., Biophys. J. 2012, 103, 313-322) and large scale computational studies on the OEC (Gatt et al., Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2012, 51, 12025-12028, Kurashige et al. Nat. Chem. 2013, 5, 660-666).

Abstract
Great progress has been made in characterizing the water-oxidizing complex (WOC) in photosystem II (PSII) with the publication of a 1.9 Å resolution X-ray diffraction (XRD) and recently a 1.95 Å X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) structure. However, these achievements are under threat because of perceived conflicts with other experimental data. For the earlier 1.9 Å structure, lack of agreement with extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) data led to the notion that the WOC suffered from X-ray photoreduction. In the recent 1.95 Å structure, Mn photoreduction is not an issue, but poor agreement with computational models which adopt the 'high' oxidation state paradigm, has again resulted in criticism of the structure on the basis of contamination with lower S states of the WOC. Here we use DFT modeling to show that the distinct WOC geometries in the 1.9 and 1.95 Å structures can be straightforwardly accounted for when the Mn oxidation states are consistent with the 'low' oxidation state paradigm. Remarkably, our calculations show that the two structures are tautomers, related by a single proton relocation.

Abstract
One challenge in artificial photosynthetic systems is the development of active oxygen evolution catalysts composed of abundant elements. The oxygen evolution activities of manganese pyrophosphate compounds were examined in electrochemical and photochemical experiments. Electrocatalysis using calcium-manganese pyrophosphate exhibited good catalytic ability under neutral pH and an oxygen evolution reaction was driven with a small overpotential (η<100 mV). UV-vis diffuse reflectance measurements revealed that manganese pyrophosphates exhibit weak absorption in the visible light region while commonly used oxygen evolution catalysts exhibit intense absorption. Therefore, the efficient light absorption of a photocatalyst was retained even after surface modification with a manganese pyrophosphate, and photochemical oxygen evolution was achieved by using magnesium ferrite modified with manganese pyrophosphate nanoparticles under the illumination of visible light at wavelength of over 420 nm.

Abstract
Manganese oxides have been extensively investigated as model systems for the oxygen-evolving complex of photosystem II. However, most bioinspired catalysts are inefficient at neutral pH and functional similarity to the oxygen-evolving complex has been rarely achieved with manganese. Here we report the regulation of proton-coupled electron transfer involved in water oxidation by manganese oxides. Pyridine and its derivatives, which have pKa values intermediate to the water ligand bound to manganese(II) and manganese(III), are used as proton-coupled electron transfer induction reagents. The induction of concerted proton-coupled electron transfer is demonstrated by the detection of deuterium kinetic isotope effects and compliance of the reactions with the libido rule. Although proton-coupled electron transfer regulation is essential for the facial redox change of manganese in photosystem II, most manganese oxides impair these regulatory mechanisms. Thus, the present findings may provide a new design rationale for functional analogues of the oxygen-evolving complex for efficient water splitting at neutral pH. Manganese oxides are extensively investigated as analogues of nature's oxygen-evolving complex, but they rarely function at neutral pH. Here, the authors investigate the induction and regulation of the proton-coupled electron-transfer mechanism involved in water oxidation by manganese oxides.

Abstract
Oxidation of some manganese complexes containing both carboxylate and water/hydroxo ligands does not result in changes to the carboxylate stretching frequencies. The water oxidizing complex of photosystem II is one motivating example. On the basis of electronic structure theory calculations, we here suggest that the deprotonation of water or hydroxo ligands minimizes changes in the vibrational frequencies of coligating carboxylates, rendering the carboxylate modes "invisible" in FTIR difference spectroscopy. This deprotonation of water/hydroxo ligands was also found to balance the redox potentials of the Mn(II)/Mn(III) and Mn(III)/Mn(IV) couples, allowing the possibility for successive manganese oxidations at a relatively constant redox potential.

Abstract
Membrane proteins use the energy of light or high energy substrates to build a transmembrane proton gradient through a series of reactions leading to proton release into the lower pH compartment (P-side) and proton uptake from the higher pH compartment (N-side). This review considers how the proton affinity of the substrates, cofactors and amino acids are modified in four proteins to drive proton transfers. Bacterial reaction centers (RCs) and photosystem II (PSII) carry out redox chemistry with the species to be oxidized on the P-side while reduction occurs on the N-side of the membrane. Terminal redox cofactors are used which have pKas that are strongly dependent on their redox state, so that protons are lost on oxidation and gained on reduction. Bacteriorhodopsin is a true proton pump. Light activation triggers trans to cis isomerization of a bound retinal. Strong electrostatic interactions within clusters of amino acids are modified by the conformational changes initiated by retinal motion leading to changes in proton affinity, driving transmembrane proton transfer. Cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) catalyzes the reduction of O2 to water. The protons needed for chemistry are bound from the N-side. The reduction chemistry also drives proton pumping from N- to P-side. Overall, in CcO the uptake of 4 electrons to reduce O2 transports 8 charges across the membrane, with each reduction fully coupled to removal of two protons from the N-side, the delivery of one for chemistry and transport of the other to the P-side.

Abstract
There has been a tremendous surge in research on the synthesis of various metal compounds aimed at simulating the water-oxidizing complex (WOC) of photosystem II (PSII). This is crucial because the water oxidation half reaction is overwhelmingly rate-limiting and needs high over-voltage (approx. 1 V), which results in low conversion efficiencies when working at current densities required for hydrogen production via water splitting. Particular attention has been given to the manganese compounds not only because manganese has been used by nature to oxidize water but also because manganese is cheap and environmentally friendly. The manganese-calcium cluster in PSII has a dimension of about approximately 0.5 nm. Thus, nano-sized manganese compounds might be good structural and functional models for the cluster. As in the nanometre-size of the synthetic models, most of the active sites are at the surface, these compounds could be more efficient catalysts than micrometre (or bigger) particles. In this paper, we focus on nano-sized manganese oxides as functional and structural models of the WOC of PSII for hydrogen production via water splitting and review nano-sized manganese oxides used in water oxidation by some research groups.
