    Abstract With the recent advances in serial crystallography methods at both synchrotron and X-ray free electron laser sources, more details of intermediate or transient states of the catalytic reactions are being revealed structurally. These structural studies of reaction dynamics drive the need for on-line in crystallo spectroscopy methods to complement the crystallography experiment. The recent applications of combined spectroscopy and crystallography methods enable on-line determination of in crystallo reaction kinetics and structures of catalytic intermediates, sample integrity, and radiation-induced sample modifications, if any, as well as heterogeneity of crystals from different preparations or sample batches. This review describes different modes of spectroscopy that are combined with the crystallography experiment at both synchrotron and X-ray free-electron laser facilities, and the complementary information that each method can provide to facilitate the structural study of enzyme catalysis and protein dynamics.

    Abstract The metal centres in metalloenzymes and molecular catalysts are responsible for the rearrangement of atoms and electrons during complex chemical reactions, and they enable selective pathways of charge and spin transfer, bond breaking/making and the formation of new molecules. Mapping the electronic structural changes at the metal sites during the reactions gives a unique mechanistic insight that has been difficult to obtain to date. The development of X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) enables powerful new probes of electronic structure dynamics to advance our understanding of metalloenzymes. The ultrashort, intense and tunable XFEL pulses enable X-ray spectroscopic studies of metalloenzymes, molecular catalysts and chemical reactions, under functional conditions and in real time. In this Technical Review, we describe the current state of the art of X-ray spectroscopy studies at XFELs and highlight some new techniques currently under development. With more XFEL facilities starting operation and more in the planning or construction phase, new capabilities are expected, including high repetition rate, better XFEL pulse control and advanced instrumentation. For the first time, it will be possible to make real-time molecular movies of metalloenzymes and catalysts in solution, while chemical reactions are taking place.

    Abstract One of the reasons for the high efficiency and selectivity of biological catalysts arise from their ability to control the pathways of substrates and products using protein channels, and by modulating the transport in the channels using the interaction with the protein residues and the water/hydrogen-bonding network. This process is clearly demonstrated in Photosystem II (PS II), where its light-driven water oxidation reaction catalyzed by the Mn

    Abstract X-ray crystallography and X-ray spectroscopy using X-ray free electron lasers plays an important role in understanding the interplay of structural changes in the protein and the chemical changes at the metal active site of metalloenzymes through their catalytic cycles. As a part of such an effort, we report here our recent development of methods for X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at XFELs to study dilute biological samples, available in limited volumes. Our prime target is Photosystem II (PS II), a multi subunit membrane protein complex, that catalyzes the light-driven water oxidation reaction at the Mn

    Abstract Although the structure of enzymes and the chemistry at the catalytic sites have been studied intensively, an understanding of the atomic-scale chemistry requires a new approach beyond steady state X-ray crystallography and X-ray spectroscopy at cryogenic temperatures. Following the dynamic changes in the geometric and electronic structure of metallo-enzymes at ambient conditions, while overcoming the severe X-ray-induced changes to the redox active catalytic center, is key for deriving reaction mechanisms. Such studies become possible by the intense and ultra-short femtosecond (fs) X-ray pulses from an X-ray free electron laser (XFEL) by acquiring a signal before the sample is destroyed. This review describes the recent and pioneering uses of XFELs to study the protein structure and dynamics of metallo-enzymes using crystallography and scattering, as well as the chemical structure and dynamics of the catalytic complexes (charge, spin, and covalency) using spectroscopy during the reaction to understand the electron-transfer processes and elucidate the mechanism.

    Abstract This review describes the results from X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy studies that have contributed to an understanding of the role of Ca in the photosynthetic water-oxidation reaction. The results include the first Mn, Ca and Sr X-ray spectroscopy studies using Ca or Sr-substituted PS II samples that established the presence of a MnCa heteronuclear structure and its orientation, and the most recent Sr X-ray spectroscopy study using biosynthetically prepared Sr-containing PS II in the various S-states that provide important insights into the requirement for Ca in the mechanism of the Mn(4)Ca catalytic center.

    Abstract Ever since the discovery that Mn was required for oxygen evolution in plants by Pirson in 1937 and the period‐four oscillation in flash‐induced oxygen evolution by Joliot and Kok in the 1970s, understanding of this process has advanced enormously using state‐of‐the‐art methods. The most recent in this series of innovative techniques was the introduction of X‐ray free‐electron lasers (XFELs) a decade ago, which led to another quantum leap in the understanding in this field, by enabling operando X‐ray structural and X‐ray spectroscopy studies at room temperature. This review summarizes the current understanding of the structure of Photosystem II (PS II) and its catalytic centre, the Mn₄CaO₅ complex, in the intermediate Sᵢ (i = 0–4)‐states of the Kok cycle, obtained using XFELs.

    Abstract We have used Mn K-edge absorption and Kbeta emission spectroscopy to determine the oxidation states of the Mn complex in the various S states. We have started exploring the new technique of resonant inelastic X-ray scattering spectroscopy; this technique can be characterized as a Raman process that uses K-edge energies (1s to 4p, ca. 6550 eV) to obtain L-edge-like spectra (2p to 3d, ca. 650 eV). The relevance of these data to the oxidation states and structure of the Mn complex is presented. We have obtained extended X-ray absorption fine structure data from the S(0) and S(3) states and observed heterogeneity in the Mn-Mn distances leading us to conclude that there may be three rather than two di-mu-oxo-bridged units present per tetranuclear Mn cluster. In addition, we have obtained data using Ca and Sr X-ray spectroscopy that provide evidence for a heteronuclear Mn-Ca cluster. The possibility of three di-mu-oxo-bridged Mn-Mn moieties and the proximity of Ca is incorporated into developing structural models for the Mn cluster. The involvement of bridging and terminal O ligands of Mn in the mechanism of oxygen evolution is discussed in the context of our X-ray spectroscopy results.
