Abstract

Near-UV irradiation of structurally characterized [Re(I)(CO)_3(1,10-phenanthroline)(Q107H)](W48F/Y72F/H83Q/Y108W)AzM(II) [Az = Pseudomonas aeruginosa azurin, M = Cu, Zn]/[Co(NH_3)_5Cl]Cl_2 produces a tryptophan radical (W108•) with unprecedented kinetic stability. After rapid formation (k = 2.8 × 10^6 s^(-1)), the radical persists for more than 5 h at room temperature in the folded ReAzM(II) structure. The absorption spectrum of ReAz(W108•)M(II) exhibits maxima at 512 and 536 nm. Oxidation of K_4[Mo(CN)_8] by ReAz(W108•)Zn(II) places the W108•/W108 reduction potential in the protein above 0.8 V vs NHE.
