Abstract

The anion and cation radicals of vitamin K1 and its analog menadione were characterized using the magnetic resonance techniques of Electron Nuclear Double Resonance (ENDOR), Electron Spin Echo Envelope Modulation (ESEEM), and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) at X-band and 2 mm-band. Theg-factor anisotropy of the radicals at 2 mm-band allow them to be distinguished from each other in the solid state. Theg-factor matrix of the radical anion of vitamin K1 is virtually identical with that reported for the reduced A1 acceptor in green plant photosystem I thus demonstrating that reduced A1 is the anion radical of vitamin K1.
