Since its inception 50 years ago, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR, also called ESR or EMR) has become a major tool in diverse fields ranging from biology and chemistry to solid state physics and materials science. This important book includes personal descriptions of early experiments by pioneers who laid the foundations for the field, perspectives on the state of the art, and glimpses of future opportunities. It presents a broad view of the foundations of EPR and its applications, and will therefore appeal to scientists in many fields. Even the expert will find here history not previously recorded and provocative views of future directions.
Advanced EPR: Applications in Biology and Biochemistry provides an up-to-date survey of existing EPR techniques and their applications in biology and biochemistry, and also provides a wealth of ideas for future developments in instrumentation and theory. The material is broadly organized into four parts. In the first part (chapters 1 to 6) pulsed EPR is discussed in detail. The second part (chapters 7 to 12) provides detailed discussions of a number of novel and experimental methods. The third part comprises seven chapters on double-resonance techniques, five on ENDOR and two on optically- and reaction yield-detected resonance. The final part is devoted to a thorough discussion of a number of new developments in the application of EPR to various biological and biochemical problems. Advanced EPR will interest biophysicists, physical biochemists, EPR spectroscopists and others who will value the extensive treatment of pulsed EPR techniques, the discussion of new developments in EPR instrumentation, and the integration of theory and experimental details as applied to problems in biology and biochemistry.
Volume 38: Probing of Proteins by Metal Ions and Their Low-Molecular-Weight Complexes focuses on the vibrant area of probing enzymes or proteins by metal ions and small complexes. It offers a summary of the basic characteristics of the amide bond, emphasizing its proton and metal ion interactions, including a quantitative analysis of its hydrolysis and formation. Topics include Peptide bonds, footprinting, protein degradation, protein complexes, and protein cross-linking.
This introductory text on transition ion electron paramagnetic resonance is intended for beginning graduate students in physics and chemistry. The phenomenon studied is an important tool for the identification and characterization of transition and metal ions. The author presents a new perspective that unifies the main features of field-swept EPR of anisotropic systems, and accounts for the origin of asymmetric line shapes, linewidth anisotropy, and strain broadening. A large number of spectra are shown, since familiarity with the shape of typical spectra is essential for the proper employment of this technique. A wide range of examples are also provided, including transition ions in crystals, glasses, semiconductors, phase transitions, proteins and other biological systems. In addition to its value as a text, this work is suitable for scientists in a variety of disciplines, as well as for anyone whose work involves the use of transition ion EPR techniques.
