Abstract

The temperature dependence of the EPR spectrum of oxidized high-potential iron protein from Chromatium vinosum has been studied. From line width and intensity measurements it is possible to determine the position of the first excited unoccupied state, 160 +/- 10 cm-1 above the ground state orbital.
