Abstract
The reduction of ferrate(VI) to ferrate(V) by superoxide ions was studied over the pH range 2.6-13.0 using the premix pulse radiolysis technique. The pH dependence indicates that only the unstable protonated forms of ferrate, H2FeO4 (pKa3.5) and HFeO4- (pKa7.3) are reactive, k(HFeO4(-) + O2) = (1.7 +/- 0.2) x 10(7) M-1 s-1. The stable ferrate ion, FeO4(2-), showed no significant reactivity towards either hydrogen peroxide or superoxide anion. The rate constants for the spontaneous dimerization and decomposition of the protonated ferrates, e.g. k(HFeO4(-) + HFe04) approximately 250 M-1s-1, are orders of magnitude slower than their corresponding reduction reduction by superoxide indicating an outer-sphere mode of electron transfer for the latter process. In contrast the ferrate(VI) species H3FeO4+ (pKa = 1.6 +/- 0.2), H2FeO4, and HFeO4- oxidize hydrogen peroxide, e.g. k(HFeO4(-) + H2O2) = 170 M-1 s-1), at rates which correspond closely to their dimerization rates suggesting an inner-sphere controlled mechanism.

Abstract
The forms of ferrate(V) which are derived from the one-electron reduction of potassium ferrate (K2FeO4) by ethanol radicals react with representative amino acids (glycine, methionine, phenylalanine and serine) at rates that are greater than 10(5)M-1s-1 near pH 10. The predominant interaction in the alkaline pH range is between the protonated ferrate(V) species, HFeO4(2-), and the amino acid anion. Fe(V) + amino acid-->Fe(III) + NH3 + alpha-keto acid The rate-determining process is the two electron reduction of ferrate(V) to iron(III) with oxidation and subsequent deamination of the amino acid. The reaction appears to involve an entry of the amino acid into the inner coordination sphere of ferrate(V). In all cases, ferrate(V) exhibits preferred attack on the amino group in contrast to the OH radical which attacks the thioether site of methionine and the phenyl ring of phenylalanine.

Abstract
Potassium ferrate, K2FeO4, is found to oxidize phenol in aqueous solution (5.5 < or = pH < or = 10) by a process which is second order in both reactants; -d[FeVI]/dt=k1[FeVI][phenol], k1 = 10(7)M-1s-1. Product analysis by HPLC showed a mixture of hydroxylated products, principally paraquinone, and biphenols that indicate that oxidation of phenol occurs by both one-electron and two-electron pathways. The two-electron oxidant, producing both para- and ortho-hydroxylated phenols is considered to be ferrate(V) which is itself produced by the initial one-electron reduction of ferrate(VI). The rate of ferrate(V) reaction with phenol was determined by pre-mix stopped flow pulse-radiolysis and found to be k7 = (3.8 +/- 0.4) x 10(5)M-1s-1.

Abstract
The hydroxylation of phenylalanine by the Fenton reaction and gamma-radiolysis yields 2-hydroxy-, 3-hydroxy-, and 4-hydroxyphenylalanine (tyrosine), while the hydroxylation of tyrosine results in 2,3- and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (dopa). Yields are determined as a function of pH and the presence or absence of oxidants. During gamma-radiolysis and the Fenton reaction the same hydroxylated products are formed. The final product distribution depends on the rate of the oxidation of the hydroxyl radical adducts (hydroxycyclohexadiene radicals) relative to the competing dimerization reactions. The pH profiles for the hydroxylations of phenylalanine and tyrosine show a maximum at pH 5.5 and a minimum around pH 8. The lack of hydroxylated products around near pH 8 is due to the rapid oxidation of dopa to melanin. The relative abilities of iron chelates (HLFe(II) and HLFe(III) to promote hydroxyl radical formation from hydrogen peroxide are nitrilotriacetate (nta) greater than ethylenediaminediacetate (edda) much greater than hydroxyethylethylenediaminetriacetate greater than citrate greater than ethylenediaminetetraacetate greater than diethylenetriaminepentaacetate greater than adenosine 5'-triphosphate greater than pyrophosphate greater than adenosine 5'-diphosphate greater than adenosine 5'-monophosphate. The high activity of iron-nta and -edda chelates is explained by postulating the formation of a ternary Fe(III)-L-dopa complex in which dopa reduces Fe(III). The hydroxylations of phenylalanine and tyrosine are similar to that of salicylate (Z. Maskos, J. D. Rush, and W. H. Koppenol, 1990, Free Radical Biol. Med. 8, 153-162) and tryptophan (preceding paper) in that oxidants augment the formation of hydroxylated products by catalyzing the dismutation of hydroxyl radical adducts to the parent compound and a stable hydroxylated product. A comparison of salicylate and the amino acids tryptophan, phenylalanine, and tyrosine clearly shows that salicylate is the best indicator of hydroxyl radical production.

Abstract
Products of the chemical hydroxylation of tryptophan by Fenton and Udenfriend reactions are similar to those obtained by ionizing radiation. When tryptophan is exposed to either of these systems, a mixture of four hydroxytryptophans, oxindole-3-alanine, and N-formylkynurenine is formed. This observation indicates that the hydroxyl radical attacks the aromatic nucleus as well as the 2 and 3 positions of the pyrrole ring. During gamma-radiolysis of nitrous oxide-saturated tryptophan solution and in the absence of oxygen or ferric edta, the hydroxyl radical adduct (or hydroxycyclohexadienyl radical) of tryptophan undergoes dimerization and polymerization, which results in a yellow product with maximal absorbance at 425 nm. In the presence of ferric edta, or in a Fenton system, the hydroxyl radical adduct disproportionates, and hydroxylated derivatives are formed. The yields of the hydroxytryptophans are proportional to the concentration of ferric edta to a limiting yield of 54% of the theoretical yield, which is taken to be one hydroxylated product per two hydroxyl radicals. Under these conditions, 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-hydroxy-derivatives of tryptophan are found in the proportion 4:2:2:3, respectively. The presence of dioxygen during gamma-radiolysis increases the yield of N-formylkynurenine, but does not affect the total yield of hydroxytryptophans. Similarly, tryptophan subjected to the Udenfriend reaction yields 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-hydroxytryptophan and N-formylkynurenine in approximately equal amounts.

Abstract
A green manganese desferrioxamine complex is rapidly formed at room temperature upon stirring freshly precipitated manganese dioxide in a solution of the ligand. Spectral studies and low-temperature ESR indicate that this compound, which has been previously described as a manganese(III) complex, is better characterized as containing tetravalent manganese. The complex appears to form oligomers in solution. The extinction coefficient at 635 nm is 137 +/- 6 M-1 cm-1 (per manganese) at pH 7.8 and 88 +/- 4 M-1 s-1 at pH 6.6 after purification by chromatography. The superoxide dismutase activity was measured and compared to that of mononuclear manganese(III) 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclodecane (cyclam). The catalytic rate constants for superoxide dismutase activity are 1.7 x 10(6) M-1 s-1 and 2.9 x 10(6) M-1 s-1 for the desferrioxamine and the cyclam complexes, respectively.

Abstract
Vertebrate cytochromes c and the cytochromes c of insects and plants have, on average, dipole moments of 320 and 340 debye, respectively. The direction of the dipole vector with respect to the haem plane, at the solvent-accessible edge of which electron transfer presumably takes place, is conserved in these two groups--at 32 degrees +/- 7 degrees and 22 degrees +/- 10 degrees, respectively. The variation of dipole orientations and magnitudes observed in these species is compared with the results of a model in which charge distributions occur randomly. Since this model does not generate the observed charge asymmetries of the various cytochromes c, it is concluded that the dipole moment of cytochrome c is a feature that is evolutionarily conserved, apparently because it has an important influence on the interaction of this mobile electron carrier with its physiological electron donors and acceptors in the intermembrane space of mitochondria.

Abstract
Complexes of vanadium(IV), vanadyl, are reported to be formed with the trihydroxamic acid deferoxamine (H3DF+). One complex exhibits a reddish-violet color, with a major absorbance peak at 386 nm and a smaller peak at 520 nm. This complex is potentially useful for the microdetermination of vanadyl. The apparent molar absorptivity is 3.91 mM-1 cm-1, and the complex obeys Beer's law in the concentration range of 0.6-63 ppm. Electron spin resonance studies indicate the formation of two vanadyl complexes that are 1:1 in vanadyl and deferoxamine, but have two or three bound hydroxamate groups. ESR and spectrophotometric evidence indicate that the red, low pH form, involves an octahedral vanadium (4+) ion coordinated by three hydroxamate ligands. One of these hydroxamates is displaced by an oxygen at pH greater than 2.8 according to the following equilibria: VO2+ + H3DF+ in equilibrium with VIV(DF)2+ + H3O+, VIV(DF)2+ + H2O in equilibrium with VO(HDF)+ + H+, where pk2 = 2.8.

Abstract
Rate constants for the reactions of cumyl hydroperoxide and t-butyl hydroperoxide with ferrous complexes of ATP and citrate were measured at pH 7.4. These ligands are potential chelators of iron(II) in the low-molecular weight iron pool that may catalyze oxidative degradation of biomolecules. The second-order rate constants for the reduction of cumyl hydroperoxide and t-butyl hydroperoxide by ferrous ATP are 3.1 x 10(3) and 1.3 x 10(3) M-1.s-1, respectively, at 25 degrees C and 0.11 M ionic strength. Rates of reduction by ferrous citrate are similar. Activation enthalpies for these reactions average 10 kcal/mol.

Abstract
Although patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) might be expected to have more severe illness due to influenza virus infection than normal persons, the course of influenza in such patients has not been well delineated. We describe six consecutive HIV-infected patients at San Francisco General Hospital in whom influenza virus was isolated from induced sputum or bronchoalveolar lavage specimens between December 1988 and March 1989. Although neither clinical presentation of influenza nor rate of secondary complications appeared to be altered from that in healthy individuals, our power of comparison was limited by small sample size. However, a high prevalence of hypoxemia and a trend toward prolonged duration of illness were identified. Larger, controlled studies are needed to define the course of influenza virus infection in HIV-infected patients as compared with nonimmunosuppressed patients.

Abstract
The yield of 2,3- and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoates (dHB's) from the reaction of .OH radicals with salicylate (SA) ions has been measured as a function of pH and in the presence of oxidants. Under steady-state radiolysis conditions, the production of these products occurs via the reactions .OH + SA----HO-SA. (radical adduct) HO-SA. H+.OH+----2-carboxyphenoxyl radical (SA.) + H2O HO-SA. + SA.----2,3-/2,5-dHB + SA The addition of the oxidants O2, Fe3+ edta, or Fe(CN)63- increases the relative yield of 2,5-dHB/2,3-dHB from about 0.2 to 1. A model to account for this effect is presented. Steady-state radiolyses of 3- and 4-hydroxybenzoate give dihydroxybenzoate products consistent with the phenol group being an ortho-para director in the electrophilic attack of the hydroxyl radical on the aromatic ring. A comparison of product distributions from the reaction of ferrous edta with hydrogen peroxide using salicylate as a scavenger strongly suggests that the same hydroxyl radical adducts are formed as in the radiation experiments.

Abstract
The recovery rates of cytomegalovirus from mucolysed induced sputum samples and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid obtained from individuals at risk for or with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome were compared. It was demonstrated that cytomegalovirus could be reliably recovered from mucolysed induced sputum, and such recovery was highly predictive of recovery from bronchoalveolar lavage samples obtained from the same individual.

Abstract
An analysis of the effect of electrostatic properties of 4-carboxy-2,6-dinitrophenyllysine (CDNP-lysine) cytochromes c on their reactions with strongly and weakly binding redox partners is given. For strongly binding systems (cytochrome-c oxidase, cytochrome-c reductase, sulphite oxidase and yeast cytochrome-c peroxidase) the magnitude of the dipole moments of the CDNP cytochromes c determines their relative reactivities. For weakly binding redox agents, such as hexacyanoferrate(III), cobalt(III)tris(1,10-phenanthroline), azurin and plastocyanin, the electrostatic potential at the haem edge accounts for the greater part of the relative activities. Relative rate data were obtained from the literature. It is concluded that the dipole moment of native cytochromes c may account for an approx. 50-fold increase in the efficiency of its physiological activity towards membrane-bound enzymes. A correction on a formula to describe the contribution of a molecular dipole moment to the ionic strength dependence of a bimolecular rate constant (Koppenol, W. H. (1980) Biophys. J. 29, 493-508) leads to an equation nearly identical to that obtained by Van Leeuwen et al. (Van Leeuwen, J.W., Mofers, F.J.M. and Verrman, E.C.I. (1981) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 635, 434-439).

Abstract
Two sites for electron transfer have been proposed for plastocyanin: one near the copper ion and the other close to the acid patch formed by residues 42-45. Calculations of electrostatic properties of spinach plastocyanin and ionic strength dependences of electron-transfer reactions of this protein have been used to distinguish between these two sites. Calculations show that the electric potential field of spinach plastocyanin is highly asymmetric and that the protein has a dipole moment of 360 D. The negative end of the dipole axis emerges between the negative patches formed by residues 42-45, which is though to be the cation binding site, and residues 59-61. The angles between the dipole vector and vectors from the center of mass to the copper ion and to the acid patch are 90 degrees and 30 degrees, respectively. The angle between the dipole vector and a line from the center of mass to the site of electron transfer is evaluated from the ionic strength dependence of electron-transfer rates at pH 7.8 with the help of equations developed by Van Leeuwen et al. [van Leeuwen, J.W., Mofers, F.J.M., & Veerman, E.C.I. (1981) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 635, 434] and Van Leeuwen [van Leeuwen, J.W. (1983) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 743, 408]. The angles found are 85 degrees, 110 degrees, and 75 +/- 15 degrees for reactions with tris(1,10-phenanthroline)cobalt(III), hexacyanoferrate(III), and ferrocytochrome c, respectively. The electric potential field calculations suggest that the hexacyanoferrate(III) interaction angle corresponds to a unique site of minimum repulsion at the hydrophobic region of the protein surface, close to the copper ion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
At ionic strengths below 0.1 M the oxidation of horse ferrocytochrome c by tris(1,10-phenanthroline)cobalt (III) and tris(2,2'-bipyridine)cobalt(III) proceeds by a pathway which is independent of the transition metal complex concentration. Formation of an activated form of the protein appears to be rate limiting. The rate of oxidation decreases as the ionic strength increases. This dependence of the reaction rate on inert electrolyte concentration indicates that electrostatic association of anions under physiological ionic strength confers stability to the protein. The activated form of the protein, which reacts at least 10(4) times as fast as the predominant form, is thought to be a conformation of the reduced protein with an open heme crevice. Binding of the open form of ferrocytochrome c with the redox-inactive cationic transition metal complexes hexamminecobalt(III) and tris(1,10-phenanthroline)chromium(III) inhibits the oxidation by tris(1,10-phenanthroline)cobalt(III). Reactions of tris(1,10-phenanthroline)cobalt(III) with 4-carboxy-2,5-dinitrophenyllysine 13 and 72 ferrocytochromes c show no dependence on ionic strength. NMR studies at pH 7 demonstrate that ferricytochrome c is partly (15%) in the open conformation at low ionic strength. Furthermore, the interaction of redox-inert tris (1,10-phenanthroline)chromium(III) with ferricytochrome c under conditions identical to those of the kinetic studies demonstrates that the transition metal complex binds only to the open form of the protein. Titration with increasing amounts of tris(1,10-phenanthroline) chromium(III) shows changes in the NMR spectrum that are inconsistent with a single binding site.

Abstract
The reactions of Fe(II)EDTA, Fe(II)DTPA, and Fe(II)HEDTA with hydrogen peroxide near neutral pH have been investigated. All these reactions have been assumed to proceed through an active intermediate, I1, (Formula: see text) where pac is one of the three polyaminocarboxylates mentioned above. I1, whether .OH radical or an iron complex, reacts with ethanol, formate, and other scavengers at rates relative to k2 that, with the exception of t-butanol and benzoate, are similar, but not identical, to those expected for the.OH radical. In contrast, at pH 3, in the absence of ligands the reaction of I1 with Fe2+ was inhibited by ethanol and t-butanol and the reactivity of I1 towards these two scavengers relative to ferrous ion is identical to that exhibited by the hydroxyl radical. When pac = HEDTA, the intermediate of the first reaction reacts with formate ion to form the ferrous HEDTA ligand radical complex, which is characterized by absorption maxima at 295 nm (epsilon = 2,640 M-1 cm-1) and 420 nm (epsilon = 620 M-1 cm-1). For the reaction of Fe(II)HEDTA with H2O2, the following mechanism is proposed: (Formula: see text) where k17 = 4.2 X 10(4) M-1 sec-1 and k19 = 5 +/- 0.2 sec-1.

Abstract
Complexes of manganese, copper, cobalt, and iron with a variety of aminopolycarboxylates at concentrations from 2 X 10(-7) to 3 X 10(-6) M were tested for superoxide dismutase activity with horse ferricytochrome c as the competing reagent for superoxide. In the presence of excess ligand only manganous nitrilotriacetate and manganous ethylenediaminediacetate showed activity with catalytic rate constants of 2.2 X 10(7) and 1.8 X 10(7) M-1 S-1, respectively, at pH 6, 22 +/- 1 degree C, and 10 mM ionic strength. These rate constants decrease considerably at higher pH. Manganous N-hydroxyethylethylenediaminetriacetate is oxidized by superoxide, but does not appear to have catalytic activity. From the experimental conditions under which the two complexes mentioned above exhibit catalysis, and the inactivity of other metal chelates, it is concluded that an open coordination site is essential but not sufficient to catalyze the dismutation reaction.

Abstract
The reaction between hydrogen peroxide and ferrous EDTA generates an oxidizing intermediate (I1) which is not the hydroxyl radical. It oxidizes ferrocytochrome c and also reacts with hydrogen peroxide (k5 = 3.2 X 10(3) M-1 S-1) to form a second oxidizing transient (I2). I1 is not scavenged by t-butyl alcohol whereas I2 is. I1 is found to be significantly less reactive than the hydroxyl radical toward benzoate ion, t-butyl alcohol, acetate ion, arginine, and serine, but is scavenged by compounds with readily oxidizable functional groups such as ethanol and isopropyl alcohol. This indicates that I1 does not undergo the characteristic reactions of the hydroxyl radical but shows a pattern of reactivity more associated with a metal ion oxidant like a ferryl (FeO2+)-EDTA complex.

Abstract
Reduced photosystem I samples, which give the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signals associated with A, A and B, and A, B and X centres, have been studied using Mössbauer spectroscopy. The Mössbauer spectra obtained from each type of sample is different, which indicates that iron is associated with all three centres. The spectra are similar to those obtained from ferredoxins with 4Fe-4S centres and were fitted with oxidized and reduced components, the relative proportions depending on the degree of reduction of the sample as monitored by EPR. The sample which gave only the A EPR signal showed about 26% of the reduced component, the sample which gave A and B EPR signals showed about 48% of the reduced component, while the sample which gave A, B and X EPR signals showed about 65% of the reduced component. The measurements are consistent with X being a 4Fe-S4 centre.

Abstract
Substantial amounts of iron have been shown by Mössbauer spectroscopy to be present in Photosystem-I preparations from the blue-green alga Chlorogloeta fritschii. Changes in the spectra on chemical reduction provide evidence that some of this iron is very similar to that found in the 4Fe-4S centres of ferredoxins. Such reduced samples also show e.p.r. signals consistent with maximum reduction of iron-sulphur centres A and B of Photosystem I. An unchanged component in the spectra indicates, assuming all centres A and B are reduced, the presence of another iron-containing species.

Abstract
The Mössbauer spectra of both oxidized and reduced ferredoxin from Bacillus stearothermophilus have been analysed using computer fits to theoretical spectra obtained from a spin Hamiltonian. A consistent set of parameters was obtained from fits to spectra obtained over a wide range of temperature and magnetic field. These results are interpreted in terms of a model for the active centre which is consistent with its electronic and magnetic properties in both redox states. In the model for the oxidized centre all four iron atoms have essentially the same valence, intermediate between ferric and ferrous, with one pair spin-up and the other pair spin-down. On reduction the extra electron goes predominantly to one pair of iron atoms which become ferrous with the other pair remaining substantially unchanged. Using this model it is possible to obtain relationships between the spin Hamiltonian parameters for individual iron atoms and those for the coupled centre. This can give further insight into the relation between the observed electron paramagnetic resonance and Mössbauer spectra.

Abstract
At least two species of iron were identified in crude membrane preparations of the blue-green algae Chlorogloea fritschii and Anacystis nidulans by Mössbauer spectroscopy. One species was non-magnetic with chemical shift more characteristic of a ferredoxin-like centre than of any known low-spin Fe(II) biological compounds. Studies on cells grown under depleted-iron conditions show the other iron species to be part of the system for iron metabolic transport and/or storage.

Abstract
1. A stable ferredoxin was prepared from Bacillus stearothermophilus and purified by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and by electrophoresis. 2. The minimum molecular weight determined from the amino acid composition was about 7900 and this was in reasonable agreement with a value of 8500 determined by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The ferredoxin contained four iron atoms and four labile sulphide groups per molecule. 3. The optical absorption, optical-rotatory-dispersion and circular-dichroism spectra are typical of ferredoxins containing 4Fe-4S clusters. 4. Oxidation-reduction titrations, combined with electron-paramagnetic-resonance (e.p.r.) spectroscopy, showed that the protein has a mid-point potential, at pH8, of -280 +/- 10mV, and that only one electron-accepting paramagnetic species is present. 5. The e.p.r. spectrum of the reduced ferredoxin is more readily saturated with microwave power at low temperatures than those of the eight-iron ferredoxins, indicating that there is another mechanism of electron-spin relaxation in the latter. 6. Mossbauer spectra of both redox states were observed over a range of temperatures and in magnetic fields. At high temperatures (77 degrees K and above) both redox states appear as quadrupole-split doublets; in the reduced state two resolved doublets are seen, suggesting appreciable localization of the additional reducing electron. 7. The average chemical shift indicates formal valences of two Fe3+ and two Fe2+ in the oxidized state and three Fe2+ and one Fe3+ in the reduced state. However, the spectra indicate that there are differing degrees of electron delocalization over the iron atoms. 8. At low temperatures (4.2 degrees K) the oxidized form shows no hyperfine magnetic interaction, even in an applied magnetic field, evidence that the oxidized ferredoxin is in a non-magnetic state as a result of antiferromagnetic coupling between the iron atoms. 9. At 4.2 degrees K the reduced form shows a broad asymmetric pattern resulting from magnetic hyperfine interaction. This contrasts with the reduced ferredoxin of Clostridium pasteurianum, which shows a doublet, suggesting that in the latter there may be interaction between the two 4Fe-4S centres. 10. In large applied magnetic fields, positive and negative hyperfine fields are seen in the Mossbauer spectra of the reduced ferredoxin, evidence for antiferromagnetic coupling between the iron atoms in the 4Fe-4S centre. The high-field spectra of the reduced ferredoxin of B. stearothermophilus are similar to those of the reduced ferredoxin of C. pasteurianum.
