Pj. Omalley et D. Ellson, H-1, C-13 AND O-17 ISOTROPIC AND ANISOTROPIC HYPERFINE COUPLING PREDICTION FOR THE TYROSYL RADICAL USING HYBRID DENSITY-FUNCTIONAL METHODS, Biochimica et biophysica acta. Bioenergetics, 1320(1), 1997, pp. 65-72
Hybrid density functional calculations are used to directly calculate
the principal hyperfine tensor values for H-1, C-13 and O-17 in two mo
dels of the tyrosyl radical, p-methylphenoxyl and p-ethylphenoxyl. Bot
h hydrogen bonded and non-hydrogen bonded phenoxyl radicals are studie
d. A comparison is made between calculated values and those obtained f
rom experimental EPR and ENDOR studies. Outstanding agreement between
experiment and theory is observed.
