The reaction of ammonia with the oxygen-evolving system was investigated using EPR. Two sites with distinct binding properties were found. One site, previously known to be responsible for the modification by ammonia of the multiline EPR signal from the S2state and believed to be accessible in this state only, was found to bind ammonia also in the S1state although weaker. The second binding site, identified by the effect of bound ammonia on the shape and position of theg= 4.1 EPR signal, was also found to be accessible in both the S1and S2states. The apparent dissociation constants for ammonia at the two sites in the S1and S2states were determined. In neither state did the binding the ammonia account for the observed inhibition of oxygen evolution, suggesting that binding to other S states plays an important role in the inhibition. Chloride, which is known to interfere with ammonia-induced inhibition of oxygen evolution, was found to compete with ammonia at the site associated with the modification of theg= 4.1 EPR signal. The broadening of the hyperfine lines of the multiline EPR signal, seen in the presence of17O-labeled water, was still observed after the modification of the signal by ammonia. This indicates that ammonia has not completely displaced water bound to the catalytic site in the S2state. The results of the binding studies are interpreted in terms of a two state — two site model, where the two states are identified by their EPR signals, the multiline and theg= 4.1 signal, respectively, and the two sites identified by the effects of ammonia on these signals and where the equilibrium between the two states is regulated by the binding of ligands to the sites.
