15. X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements were carried out at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (SSRL) as previously described [George, G. N.; Garrett, R. M.; Prince, R. C.; Rajagopalan, K. V. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1996, 118, 8588-8592]. The extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) oscillations X were quantitatively analyzed using EXAFSPAK [http://ssr1.slac.stanford.edu/exafspak.html].
16. Resonance Raman spectra were recorded as previously described [Mansy, S. S.; Xiong, Y.: Hemann, C.; Hille, R.; Sundaralingam, M.; Cowan, J. A. Biochemistry 2002, 41, 1195-1201]. Each sample was illuminated for several hours prior to data collection to reduce background fluorescence.
