Abstract
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters shuttle diverse substrates across biological membranes. Transport is often achieved through a transition between an inward-facing (IF) and an outward-facing (OF) conformation of the transmembrane domains (TMDs). Asymmetric nucleotide-binding sites (NBSs) are present among several ABC subfamilies and their functional role remains elusive. Here we addressed this question using concomitant NO-NO, Mn2+ -NO, and Mn2+ -Mn2+ pulsed electron-electron double-resonance spectroscopy of TmrAB in a time-resolved manner. This type-IV ABC transporter undergoes a reversible transition in the presence of ATP with a significantly faster forward transition. The impaired degenerate NBS stably binds Mn2+ -ATP, and Mn2+ is preferentially released at the active consensus NBS. ATP hydrolysis at the consensus NBS considerably accelerates the reverse transition. Both NBSs fully open during each conformational cycle and the degenerate NBS may regulate the kinetics of this process.

Abstract
General-purpose quantum computation and quantum simulation require multi-qubit architectures with precisely defined, robust interqubit interactions, coupled with local addressability. This is an unsolved challenge, primarily due to scalability issues. These issues often derive from poor control over interqubit interactions. Molecular systems are promising materials for the realization of large-scale quantum architectures, due to their high degree of positionability and the possibility to precisely tailor interqubit interactions. The simplest quantum architecture is the two-qubit system, with which quantum gate operations can be implemented. To be viable, a two-qubit system must possess long coherence times, the interqubit interaction must be well defined and the two qubits must also be addressable individually within the same quantum manipulation sequence. Here results are presented on the investigation of the spin dynamics of chlorinated triphenylmethyl organic radicals, in particular the perchlorotriphenylmethyl (PTM) radical, a mono-functionalized PTM, and a biradical PTM dimer. Extraordinarily long ensemble coherence times up to 148 µs are found at all temperatures below 100 K. Two-qubit and, importantly, individual qubit addressability in the biradical system are demonstrated. These results underline the potential of molecular materials for the development of quantum architectures.

Abstract
The common approach to background removal in double electron-electron resonance (DEER) measurements on frozen solutions with a three-dimensional homogeneous distribution of doubly labeled biomolecules is to fit the background to an exponential decay function. Excluded volume effects or distribution in a dimension lower than three, such as proteins in a membrane, can lead to a stretched exponential decay. In this work, we show that in cases of spin labels with short spin-lattice relaxation time, up to an order of magnitude longer than the DEER trace length, relevant for metal-based spin labels, spin flips that take place during the DEER evolution time affect the background decay shape. This was demonstrated using a series of temperature-dependent DEER measurements on frozen solutions of a nitroxide radical, a Gd(III) complex, Cu(II) ions, and a bis-Gd(III) model complex. As expected, the background decay was exponential for the nitroxide, whereas deviations were noted for Gd(III) and Cu(II). Based on the theoretical approach of Keller et al. (Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 21 (2019) 8228-8245), which addresses the effect of spin-lattice relaxation-induced spin flips during the evolution time, we show that the background decay can be fitted to an exponent including a linear and quadratic term in t, which is the position of the pump pulse. Analysis of the data in terms of the probability of spontaneous spin flips induced by spin-lattice relaxation showed that this approach worked well for the high temperature range studied for Gd(III) and Cu(II). At the low temperature range, the spin flips that occured during the DEER evolution time for Gd(III) exceeded the measured spin-lattice relaxation rate and include contributions from spin flips due to another mechanisms, most likely nuclear spin diffusion.

Abstract
Metal ions are important for the folding, structure, and function of biomolecules. Thus, knowing where their binding sites are located in proteins or oligonucleotides is a critical objective. X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance are powerful methods in this respect, but both have their limitations. Here, a complementary method is highlighted in which paramagnetic metal ions are localized by means of trilateration using a combination of site-directed spin labeling and pulsed dipolar electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. The working principle, the requirements, and the limitations of the method are critically discussed. Several applications of the method are outlined and compared with each other.

Abstract
Double electron-electron resonance (DEER) spectroscopy applied to orthogonally spin-labeled biomolecular complexes simplifies the assignment of intra- and intermolecular distances, thereby increasing the information content per sample. In fact, various spin labels can be addressed independently in DEER experiments due to spectroscopically nonoverlapping central transitions, distinct relaxation times, and/or transition moments; hence, they are referred to as spectroscopically orthogonal. Molecular complexes which are, for example, orthogonally spin-labeled with nitroxide (NO) and gadolinium (Gd) labels give access to three distinct DEER channels that are optimized to selectively probe NO-NO, NO-Gd, and Gd-Gd distances. Nevertheless, it has been previously recognized that crosstalk signals between individual DEER channels can occur, for example, when a Gd-Gd distance appears in a DEER channel optimized to detect NO-Gd distances. This is caused by residual spectral overlap between NO and Gd spins which, therefore, cannot be considered as perfectly orthogonal. Here, we present a systematic study on how to identify and suppress crosstalk signals that can appear in DEER experiments using mixtures of NO-NO, NO-Gd, and Gd-Gd molecular rulers characterized by distinct, nonoverlapping distance distributions. This study will help to correctly assign the distance peaks in homo- and heterocomplexes of biomolecules carrying not perfectly orthogonal spin labels.

Abstract
Peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) are a promising group of synthetic analogues of DNA and RNA that offer several distinct advantages over the naturally occurring nucleic acids for applications in biosensing, drug delivery, and nanoelectronics. Because of its structural differences from DNA/RNA, methods to analyze and assess the structure, conformations, and dynamics are needed. In this work, we develop synergistic techniques for the study of the PNA conformation. We use CuQ2, a Cu2+ complex with 8-hydroxyquinoline (HQ), as an alternative base pair and as a spin label in electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) distance methods. We use molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with newly developed force field parameters for the spin labels to interpret the distance constraints determined by EPR. We complement these methods by UV-vis and circular dichroism measurements and assess the efficacy of the Cu2+ label on a PNA duplex whose backbone is based on aminoethylglycine and a duplex with a hydroxymethyl backbone modification. We show that the Cu2+ label functions efficiently within the standard PNA and the hydroxymethyl-modified PNA and that the MD parameters may be used to accurately reproduce our EPR findings. Through the combination of EPR and MD, we gain new insights into the PNA structure and conformations as well as into the mechanism of orientational selectivity in Cu2+ EPR at X-band. These results present for the first time a rigid Cu2+ spin label used for EPR distance measurements in PNA and the accompanying MD force fields for the spin label. Our studies also reveal that the spin labels have a low impact on the structure of the PNA duplexes. The combined MD and EPR approach represents an important new tool for the characterization of the PNA duplex structure and provides valuable information to aid in the rational application of PNA at large.

Abstract
Pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) dipolar spectroscopy (PDS) offers several methods for measuring dipolar coupling constants and thus the distance between electron spin centers. Up to now, PDS measurements have been mostly applied to spin centers whose g-anisotropies are moderate and therefore have a negligible effect on the dipolar coupling constants. In contrast, spin centers with large g-anisotropy yield dipolar coupling constants that depend on the g-values. In this case, the usual methods of extracting distances from the raw PDS data cannot be applied. Here, the effect of the g-anisotropy on PDS data is studied in detail on the example of the low-spin Fe3+ ion. First, this effect is described theoretically, using the work of Bedilo and Maryasov (Appl. Magn. Reson. 2006, 30, 683-702) as a basis. Then, two known Fe3+ /nitroxide compounds and one new Fe3+ /trityl compound were synthesized and PDS measurements were carried out on them using a method called relaxation induced dipolar modulation enhancement (RIDME). Based on the theoretical results, a RIDME data analysis procedure was developed, which facilitated the extraction of the inter-spin distance and the orientation of the inter-spin vector relative to the Fe3+ g-tensor frame from the RIDME data. The accuracy of the determined distances and orientations was confirmed by comparison with MD simulations. This method can thus be applied to the highly relevant class of metalloproteins with, for example, low-spin Fe3+ ions.

Abstract
Precise nanoscale distance measurements by pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy play a crucial role in structural studies of biomolecules. The properties of the spin labels used in this approach determine the sensitivity limits, attainable distances, and proximity to biological conditions. Herein, we propose and validate the use of photoexcited fullerenes as spin labels for pulsed dipolar (PD) EPR distance measurements. Hyperpolarization and the narrower spectrum of fullerenes compared to other triplets (e.g., porphyrins) boost the sensitivity, and superior relaxation properties allow PD EPR measurements up to a near-room temperature. This approach is demonstrated using fullerene-nitroxide and fullerene-triarylmethyl pairs, as well as a supramolecular complex of fullerene with nitroxide-labeled protein. Photoexcited triplet fullerenes can be considered as new spin labels with outstanding spectroscopic properties for future structural studies of biomolecules.

Abstract
Pulsed EPR dipolar spectroscopy (PDS) offers several methods for measuring dipolar coupling and thus the distance between electron-spin centers. To date, PDS measurements to metal centers were limited to ions that adhere to the high-field approximation. Here, the PDS methodology is extended to cases where the high-field approximation breaks down on the example of the high-spin Fe3+ /nitroxide spin-pair. First, the theory developed by Maryasov et al. (Appl. Magn. Reson. 2006, 30, 683-702) was adapted to derive equations for the dipolar coupling constant, which revealed that the dipolar spectrum does not only depend on the length and orientation of the interspin distance vector with respect to the applied magnetic field but also on its orientation to the effective g-tensor of the Fe3+ ion. Then, it is shown on a model system and a heme protein that a PDS method called relaxation-induced dipolar modulation enhancement (RIDME) is well-suited to measuring such spectra and that the experimentally obtained dipolar spectra are in full agreement with the derived equations. Finally, a RIDME data analysis procedure was developed, which facilitates the determination of distance and angular distributions from the RIDME data. Thus, this study enables the application of PDS to for example, the highly relevant class of high-spin Fe3+ heme proteins.

Abstract
Light-induced pulsed EPR dipolar spectroscopic methods allow the determination of nanometer distances between paramagnetic sites. Here we employ orthogonal spin labels, a chromophore triplet state and a stable radical, to carry out distance measurements in singly nitroxide-labeled human neuroglobin. We demonstrate that Zn-substitution of neuroglobin, to populate the Zn(II) protoporphyrin IX triplet state, makes it possible to perform light-induced pulsed dipolar experiments on hemeproteins, extending the use of light-induced dipolar spectroscopy to this large class of metalloproteins. The versatility of the method is ensured by the employment of different techniques: relaxation-induced dipolar modulation enhancement (RIDME) is applied for the first time to the photoexcited triplet state. In addition, an alternative pulse scheme for laser-induced magnetic dipole (LaserIMD) spectroscopy, based on the refocused-echo detection sequence, is proposed for accurate zero-time determination and reliable distance analysis.

JOURNAL OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE (SAN DIEGO, CALIF. : 1997) 2018; 286:163-171.

Abstract
Site-directed spin labeling using two strategically placed natural histidine residues allows for the rigid attachment of paramagnetic Cu2+. This double histidine (dHis) motif enables extremely precise, narrow distance distributions resolved by Cu2+-based pulsed ESR. Furthermore, the distance measurements are easily relatable to the protein backbone-structure. The Cu2+ ion has, till now, been introduced as a complex with the chelating agent iminodiacetic acid (IDA) to prevent unspecific binding. Recently, this method was found to have two limiting concerns that include poor selectivity towards α-helices and incomplete Cu2+-IDA complexation. Herein, we introduce an alternative method of dHis-Cu2+ loading using the nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA)-Cu2+ complex. We find that the Cu2+-NTA complex shows a four-fold increase in selectivity toward α-helical dHis sites. Furthermore, we show that 100% Cu2+-NTA complexation is achievable, enabling precise dHis loading and resulting in no free Cu2+ in solution. We analyze the optimum dHis loading conditions using both continuous wave and pulsed ESR. We implement these findings to show increased sensitivity of the Double Electron-Electron Resonance (DEER) experiment in two different protein systems. The DEER signal is increased within the immunoglobulin binding domain of protein G (called GB1). We measure distances between a dHis site on an α-helix and dHis site either on a mid-strand or a non-hydrogen bonded edge-strand β-sheet. Finally, the DEER signal is increased twofold within two α-helix dHis sites in the enzymatic dimer glutathione S-transferase exemplifying the enhanced α-helical selectivity of Cu2+-NTA.

Abstract
Distance measurements by pulse electron paramagnetic resonance techniques, such as double electron-electron resonance (DEER, also called PELDOR), have become an established tool to explore structural properties of biomacromolecules and their assemblies. In such measurements a pair of spin labels provides a single distance constraint. Here we show that by employing three different types of spin labels that differ in their spectroscopic and spin dynamics properties it is possible to extract three independent distances from a single sample. We demonstrate this using the Antennapedia homeodomain orthogonally labeled with Gd3+ and Mn2+ tags in complex with its cognate DNA binding site labeled with a nitroxide.

Abstract
Site-directed spin labeling of native tyrosine residues in isolated domains of the protein PTBP1, using a Mannich-type reaction, was combined with conventional spin labeling of cysteine residues. Double electron-electron resonance (DEER) EPR measurements were performed for both the nitroxide-nitroxide and Gd(III)-nitroxide label combinations within the same protein molecule. For the prediction of distance distributions from a structure model, rotamer libraries were generated for the two linker forms of the tyrosine-reactive isoindoline-based nitroxide radical Nox. Only moderate differences exist between the spatial spin distributions for the two linker forms of Nox. This strongly simplifies DEER data analysis, in particular, if only mean distances need to be predicted.

Abstract
We investigate complexes of two paramagnetic metal ions Gd3+ and Mn2+ to serve as polarizing agents for solid-state dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) of 1H, 13C, and 15N at magnetic fields of 5, 9.4, and 14.1 T. Both ions are half-integer high-spin systems with a zero-field splitting and therefore exhibit a broadening of the mS = -1/2 ↔ +1/2 central transition which scales inversely with the external field strength. We investigate experimentally the influence of the chelator molecule, strong hyperfine coupling to the metal nucleus, and deuteration of the bulk matrix on DNP properties. At small Gd-DOTA concentrations the narrow central transition allows us to polarize nuclei with small gyromagnetic ratio such as 13C and even 15N via the solid effect. We demonstrate that enhancements observed are limited by the available microwave power and that large enhancement factors of >100 (for 1H) and on the order of 1000 (for 13C) can be achieved in the saturation limit even at 80 K. At larger Gd(iii) concentrations (≥10 mM) where dipolar couplings between two neighboring Gd3+ complexes become substantial a transition towards cross effect as dominating DNP mechanism is observed. Furthermore, the slow spin-diffusion between 13C and 15N, respectively, allows for temporally resolved observation of enhanced polarization spreading from nuclei close to the paramagnetic ion towards nuclei further removed. Subsequently, we present preliminary DNP experiments on ubiquitin by site-directed spin-labeling with Gd3+ chelator tags. The results hold promise towards applications of such paramagnetically labeled proteins for DNP applications in biophysical chemistry and/or structural biology.
