It has been known for a long time that the melanin pigments present in normal skin, hair, and most of malignant melanomas can be detected by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometry. In this study, we used EPR imaging as a tool to map the concentration of melanin inside ex vivo human pigmented and nonpigmented melanomas and correlated this cartography with anatomopathology. We obtaine...

Various continuous-wave and pulse electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) experiments performed on the radical species occurring in photosynthetic reaction centers of plants and bacteria during light-induced charge separation are reviewed here. Emphasis is placed on time-resolved experiments performed on short-lived intermediate states such as radical...

Antiradical activity and free radicals before after gamma-treatment of beebread were investigated by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. A narrow signal the intensity which increased with dose was assigned to O-centred induced gamma rays. They are stable for 120 days irradiation. The irradiation effect on antioxidant potential content phenolic compounds studied. It found that to...

The W-band continuous-wave electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis of chemically induced polarons in drop-cast and spin-coated polyphenylenevinylene-type and polythiophene-type polymer films reveals rhombic g tensors in both cases. The dependence of the W-band EPR signals on the orientation of the spin-coated films with respect to the magnetic field indicates a high degree of backbone al...

This work is devoted to the study of magnetic properties and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy TiO2:Fe nanoparticles doped with Al in different structural states. The sol-gel methods have been used obtain particles both crystalline (average size from 3 20 nm) X-ray amorphous electron paramagnetic resonance spectra samples aluminum besides a line g-factor ~2 exhibit small signal...

The vast majority of magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopic investigations make use of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), exploiting the interactions of atomic nuclei with applied static and radiofrequency magnetic fields. Nevertheless, there exists another important “flavour” of magnetic resonance, called Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) – or, interchangeably, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance...

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR), and Mössbauer spectroscopies and other physical methods have provided important new insights into the radical-SAM superfamily of proteins, which use iron-sulfur clusters and S-adenosylmethionine to initiate H atom abstraction reactions. This remarkable chemistry involves the generation of the extremely reactive 5'...

to calculation non-bonded interaction of the [cocl6]3- complex embedded in nano ring, we focus on the single wall boron-nitride b18n18 nano ring. thus, the geometry of b18n18 nano ring has been optimized by b3lyp method with epr-ii (electron paramagnetic resonance) basis set and geometry of the [cocl6]3- complex has been optimized at b3lyp method with aldrich’s vtz basis set and stuttgart rsc 1...

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is one of the major techniques used to analyse the structure and function of the water oxidising complex (WOC) in Photosystem II. The discovery of an EPR signal from the S0 state has opened the way for new experiments, aiming to characterise the S0 state and elucidate the differences between the different S states. We present a review of the bi...

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and near-infrared magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) have been used to identify the ligands to the cytochrome b556 component of succinate: ubiquinone oxidoreductase (succinate dehydrogenase) from Escherichia coli. The 'highly axial low spin' (HALS) EPR spectrum suggests bis(histidine) ligation of the heme with the histidines in a staggered configuration. The...
