Figure 1 Figure 1: Top, the overlay of 21 UV/Vis spectra collected during a titration of methanobactin with Cu(II). The titration ranged from 0 to 2.0 Cu:mb. The methanobactin, Lot A, was dissolved to a concentration of 50 µm in 10 mm phosphate, ph6.5, The spectra are colored according to the rainbow from red (0.0 Cu:mb) to blue (2.0 Cu:mb). Middle and bottom, the first and second principle components obtained from a singular value decomposition of the 21 spectra. The average of the 21 spectra was subtracted from each prior to carrying out the decomposition. Together, the first and second principle components comprise 80% of the variations observed during the titration. 2
Figure 2 Figure 2: The synchronous component of a two-dimensional correlation analysis of the 21 UV/Vis spectra collected during a titration of methanobactin with Cu(II). The titration ranged from 0 to 2.0 Cu:mb. The first principle component, which accounts for 66% of the variation during the titration, has been overlaid along the line that shows the features in the spectra that change synchronously with changes occurring at 394 nm. 3
Figure 3 Figure 3: The asynchronous component of a two-dimensional correlation analysis of 21 UV/Vis spectra collected during a titration of methanobactin with Cu(II). The titration ranged from 0 to 2.0 Cu:mb. The second principle component, which accounts for 14% of the variation during the titration, has been overlaid along the line that shows the features in the spectra that change asynchronously with the changes that occur at 394 nm. 4
