Upper Limits

<p>The present study combines RPWS/LP and INMS data from Cassini's orbit 292, which reached an altitude of 1685 km at the lowest point, to constrain the effective recombination coefficient α<sub>300</sub> from measured densities and electron temperatures at a reference electron temperature of 300 K. Assuming photochemical equilibrium at these low altitudes and linking established methods to calculate the electron production rate and the dissociative recombination rate results in a formula to calculate an upper limit for α<sub>300</sub>. This is then compared against rate constants of individual recombination reactions as measured in the laboratory.<br>We derive upper limits for α<sub>300</sub> of ∼ 2.5∗10<sup>-7</sup>cm<sup>3 </sup>s<sup>-1</sup>, which suggest that Saturn's ionospheric positive ions are dominated by species with low recombination rate coefficients. An ionosphere dominated by water group ions or complex hydrocarbons, as previously suggested, is incompatible with this result, as these species have recombination rate constants > 5∗10<sup>-7 </sup>cm<sup>3 </sup>s<sup>-1</sup> at an electron temperature of 300 K. The results do not give constraints on the nature of the negative ions.</p>

Vibrational changes associated with CO recombination to ferrous horseradish peroxidase were investigated by rapid-scan FTIR (Fourier-transform IR) spectroscopy in the 1200–2200 cm−1 range. At pH 6.0, two conformers of bound CO are present that appear as negative bands at 1905 and 1934 cm−1 in photolysis spectra. Their recombination rate constants are identical, confirming that they arise from two substates of bound CO that are in rapid thermal equilibrium, rather than from heterogeneous protein sites. A smaller positive band at 2134 cm−1 also appears on photolysis and decays with the same rate constant, indicative of an intraprotein geminate site involved in recombination or, possibly, a weak-affinity surface CO-binding site. Other signals arising from protein and haem in the 1700–1200 cm−1 range can also be time-resolved with similar kinetics.
