    Abstract:
    Multifrequency electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of the Cu(II) site in bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase (COX) and nitrous oxide reductase (N2OR) from Pseudomonas stutzeri confirm the existence of Cu-Cu interaction in both enzymes. C-band (4.5 GHz) proves to be a particularly good frequency complementing the spectra of COX and N2OR recorded at 2.4 and 3.5 GHz. Both the high and low field region of the EPR spectra show the presence of a well-resolved 7-line pattern consistent with the idea of a binuclear Cu center in COX and N2OR. Based on this assumption consistent g-values are calculated for gz and gx at four frequencies. No consistent g-values are obtained with the assumption of a 4-line pattern indicative for a mononuclear Cu site.
