Photosystem II (PS II) oxygen evolution occurs through a cycle of five “S-state” intermediates, S0 through S4, where the subscript represents the number of oxidizing equivalents abstracted from the PS II oxygen eVolVing complex (OEC) by the photooxidized P680+ Chl moiety. 1, 2 The OEC consists of a tetranuclear Mn cluster, the redox-active tyrosine YZ, and the essential cofactors Cl-and Ca2+. 2 Extensive EPR characterization of the odd-electron S2 state has led to much of our current knowledge of the structure, protein ligation, and substrate and inhibitor binding modes of the Mn cluster. 2, 3 However, EPR characterization of the more reduced S0-and S1-states of the OEC has remained more elusive. Given the odd-spin magnetic properties of the S2-state, the S1-state must have an even number of electrons partitioned among the four Mn ions of the OEC. If these electrons are distributed among the ions of a single exchange-coupled tetranuclear cluster, such as observed for the odd-electron S2-state, 3d-g one would expect an energy ladder of integer spins states, including the diamagnetic S) 0 state. The effective spin values of the ground and excited states of the coupled cluster will cover the range between 0 and a maximum value, Smax, which depends on the individual Mn oxidation states present in the S1-state configuration. 4 Depending on the temperature and the magnitudes of the energy gaps within the ladder of the coupled cluster, some of these excited states may join the ground state in contributing to the magnetic properties of the cluster. Alternatively, the S1-state could consist of lower order magnetic units, such as a pair of noninteracting dinuclear clusters, a trinuclear cluster with a noninteracting monomer, a dinuclear cluster with a pair of noninteracting monomers, or even four noninteracting monomers. Thus, characterization of the magnetic properties of the S1-state is important for our understanding of the structure of the OEC.For integer spin systems with nonnegligible zero-field splitting interactions, the EPR experiment, performed with the oscillating magnetic field BB1 polarized parallel to the static magnetic field BB0, can provide for sensitive detection of “ΔMS) 0” electron spin transitions. 5 Dexheimer and Klein6 applied such parallel polarization EPR spectroscopy to the study of the OEC in PS II-enriched spinach thylakoid membranes and reported a broad (600 G peak-to-peak width), featureless EPR signal centered about the g) 4.8 region of the spectrum, which they assigned to an S) 1 spin state present in the S1-state. This spectrum bears
