Pulse EPR and 55Mn-ENDOR (electron nuclear double resonance) experiments at 34 GHz (Q-band) were performed on the S2 state of the OEC (oxygen-evolving complex) in PSII (Photosystem II) from Thermosynechococcus elongatus. The ENDOR spectra are discussed with respect to earlier data obtained from X- (9 GHz) and Q-band experiments on PSII preparations from spinach with and without the addition of methanol.
