Anisotropic yields of the signalling state, S, for various model radical pairs. (a) and (b) [FAD•− Z•] radical pair with N5, N10, H6, H8 and Hβ in FAD•− and no hyperfine interactions in Z• or the scavenger. (c) and (d) [FAD•− WH•+] radical pair with N5 and N10 in FAD•− and N1 in WH•+. The scavenger had a single isotropic 1H hyperfine interaction equal to that of the H4 proton in the ascorbyl anion radical50. (e) and (f) [FAD•− WH•+] radical pair with N5 and N10 in FAD•− and N1 in WH•+. The scavenger, which reacted with WH•+, was modelled on FAD•− and included the N5 and N10 hyperfine interactions.
