The changes in the redox potential of Azurin upon mutation stem from the effects of a few key residues, including non-mutated ones, rather than being the result of a generalized rearrangement.

The author recently identified that there should exist a “differential radiation cell” mechanism in the reactor water, prompting “radiation-induced electrolytic (RIE)” phenomena. This mechanism was identified while trying to theoretically reconstruct the potential differences observed in two in-pile test loops; NRI-Rez in Czech Republic and INCA Loop in Sweden. Part 2 of this series focuses on the theoretical reconstruction of the observed potential differences. Assuming a state of equilibrium, the author tried to develop a formalism by extending the Nernst equation to reproduce the observed redox potential differences. The radiological potential shift term is separated from the Nernst equation where the latter deals only with stable molecular and ionic species. The radiological effect is described as a perturbation term to the Nernst equation representing a potential shift due to radiation-chemical reactions which should diminish to zero without radiation. The theory generally reproduced the experimental results after fitting the theoretical curve at a single point of the potential for both PWR and BWR-NWC water chemistry environments. This discrepancy is likely due to the “conductive-dielectric property” of the reactor water.

Elementary considerations indicate that thiol radicals, RS•, should have a high redox potential [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]However, the equilibrium [4],[Formula: see text]which is established in the presence of excess RS−, would convert RS•to [Formula: see text] which is a reducing species. Experimentally it was demonstrated that thiol radicals made by γ radiolysis of β-mercaptoethanol solutions effected two-electron oxidation of dihydroflavin FlH2 at pH 6.3 and of FlH− at pH 8. On the other hand, [Formula: see text] readily reduced Fl to FlH2 or FlH− as expected. At pH 9, photostationary states were established after a few minutes radiolysis and the ratios [FlH−]ss/[Fl]ss were a function of [Formula: see text] The main reactions occurring were:[Formula: see text]The values of k19 and k22 were both large. The ratio k19/k22 was ∼0.8 for lumiflavin and ∼0.3 for flavin adenine dinucleotide. The cyclic disulphide anions of lipoamide and dithiothreitol [Formula: see text] also effected two-electron reductions of flavins. However, the protonated form of [Formula: see text] oxidized FlH2, and the photostationary ratio [FlH−]ss/[Fl]ss was an approximate linear function of [Formula: see text]. The implications of the observed changes in redox properties of sulphur radicals on complexation with RS− and protonation were briefly considered.Des considérations élémentaires indiquent que les radicaux thiyles, RS•, doivent avoir un potentiel rédox élevé [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]
