(A) Experimental (black line) and simulated (red line) EPR spectra of resting Co-ImiS*; the simulation was calculated using ℋ = βg.B.S + S.D.S with spin Hamiltonian parameters of S =3/2, MS = ±½, g(x,y,z) = 2.29, 2.29, 2.50, D = 50 cm−1 and E/D = 0.09. Traces B – D show partial EPR spectra from Co(II) in Co-ImiS*. (B) Resting Co-ImiS*. (C) Co-ImiS* after reaction with 1 mM imipenem for 12 ms at 2 °C. (D) Co-ImiS* after reaction with 1 mM imipenem for 1 min at 2–25 °C. The insets in C and D show the 59Co hyperfine region (× 4 in each case). Spectra were recorded at 9.634 GHz, 12 K, 1 mW microwave power, with 1.4 mT (14 G) magnetic field modulation at 100 kHz.
