Estimating Slow - Motional Rotational Correlation Times for Nitroxides by Electron Spin Resonance
نویسنده
چکیده
A simple method of estimating slow-motional rotational correlation times rR for nitroxides by esr, which is based on the rigorous theory of Freed, Bruno, and Polnaszek, is discussed. The results can be fit to the expression r3 = a(1 S)b , where S is the ratio of the separation of the outer hyperfine extrema to that for t,he rigid limit value. The parameters a and b depend upon intrinsic line width, rotational model, and hyperfine parameters, and appropriate results are given.

250-GHz EPR of Nitroxides in the Slow-Motional Regime: Models of Rotational Diffusion
A 250-GHz electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) study of the slow rotational diffusion of two spin probes in toluene, viz., perdeuterated 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidone (PDT) and 3-doxylcholestane (CSL) is presented. EPR spectra were obtained in the slow-motional and near-rigid limit regions, which corresponds to rotational correlation times 1&l0 > TR > 10-6 s. These two probes differ signifi...
متن کاملVinyl ketone reagents for covalent protein modification. Nitroxide derivatives suited to rotational diffusion studies by saturation transfer electron spin resonance, using membrane-bound Na,K-ATPase as an example.
The reactivity of a series of substituted vinyl ketone nitroxides with an integral membrane protein, the Na,K-ATPase, is described. Increasing the electrophilicity of the conjugated double bond enhances reactivity markedly, with some spin labels showing higher reactivity than the conventionally used maleimide derivatives. The spectroscopic characteristics of the spin-labeled protein are also be...
متن کاملTheory of two-dimensional Fourier transform electron spin resonance for ordered and viscous fluids
A comprehensive theory for interpreting two-dimensional Fourier transform (2D-FT) electron spin resonance (ESR) experiments that is based on the stochastic Liouville equation is presented. It encompasses the full range of motional rates from fast through very slow motions, and it also provides for microscopic as well as macroscopic molecular ordering. In these respects it is as sophisticated in...
متن کاملSpin relaxation measurements using first-harmonic out-of-phase absorption EPR signals: rotational motion effects.
A recent survey of nonlinear continuous-wave (CW) EPR methods revealed that the first-harmonic absorption EPR signal, detected 90 degrees out of phase with respect to the Zeeman modulation (V(1)(')-EPR), is the most appropriate for determining spin-lattice relaxation enhancements of spin labels (V. A. Livshits, T. Páli, and D. Marsh, 1998, J. Magn. Reson. 134, 113-123). The sensitivity of such ...

The electron spin resonance spectra of 1-myristoyl-2-[n-(4,4-dimethyloxazolidine-N-oxyl)myristoyl]-sn- glycero-3-phosphocholine spin-label positional isomers (n = 6, 10, and 13) have been studied in oriented, fully hydrated bilayers of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine, as a function of temperature and magnetic field orientation. The spectra have been simulated using a line-shape model which incor...
