Proton-coupled electron hopping in Ru-modified P. aeruginosa azurin

Abstract

We constructed two artificial multiple-step electron transfer (hopping) systems based on Pseudomonas aeruginosa azurin where a tyrosine (YOH) is situated between Ru(2,2′-bipyridine)_2(imidazole)(histidine) and the native copper site: RuH107YOH109 and RuH124-YOH122. We investigated the rates of Cu^I oxidation by flash-quench generated Ru^(III) over a range of conditions that probed the role of proton-coupled oxidation/reduction of YOH in the reaction. Rates of Cu^I oxidation were enhanced over single-step electron transfer by factors between 3 and 80, depending on specific scaffold and buffer conditions.
