Detection of one slowly exchanging substrate water molecule in the S3 state of photosystem II. [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
The exchangeability of the substrate water molecules at the catalytic site of water oxidation in photosystem II has been probed by isotope-exchange measurements using mass spectrometric detection of flash-induced oxygen evolution. A stirred sample chamber was constructed to reduce the lag time between injection of H2(18)O and the detecting flash by a factor of more than 1000 compared to the original experiments by R. Radmer and O. Ollinger [(1986) FEBS Lett. 195, 285-289]. Our data show that there is a slow (t1/2 approximately 500 ms, 10 degrees C) and a fast (t1/2 \textless25 ms, 10 degrees C) exchanging substrate water molecule in the S3 state of photosystem II. The slow exchange is coupled with an activation energy of about 75 kJ/mol and is discussed in terms of a terminal manganese oxo ligand, while the faster exchanging substrate molecule may represent a water molecule not directly bound to the manganese center.
