(a) A solution of 2.8 mM zinc in the presence of 7.1 mM D-PEN (ratio 1:2.5) in 50 mM Hepes buffer at pH 7.1 is mixed with 2.8 mM EDTA in the same buffer at 298 K. XAFS scans of the reaction are shown for 4 s (dashed line), 33, 106, 281 and 573 s after mixing. (b) The time course of the absorption ratio of the XAFS intensities at 9676 and 9682 eV (the latter is one of the isobestic points of Fig. 2), reflecting the replacement of D-PEN by EDTA in the D-PEN complex of zinc. |
