Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spin-trapping experiments, employing the novel spin-trap DEPMPO, provide evidence for the formation of protein-peroxyl radicals from the reaction of bovine serum albumin (BSA) or lysozyme with HO. in the presence of O2. Spin-trapping leads to the detection of anisotropic spectra of partially immobilized protein-peroxyl spin-adducts; positive identification is based on a novel spectrum simulation approach (through which broadened anisotropic spectra are simulated and compared with experiment) and by comparison of results with those obtained when MeO2. is trapped and the adduct frozen in a solid matrix.

D004578 Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy A technique applicable to the wide variety of substances which exhibit paramagnetism because of the magnetic moments of unpaired electrons. The spectra are useful for detection and identification, for determination of electron structure, for study of interactions between molecules, and for measurement of nuclear spins and moments. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, 7th edition) Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is a variant of the technique which can give enhanced resolution. Electron spin resonance analysis can now be used in vivo, including imaging applications such as MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.

D005609 Free Radicals Highly reactive molecules with an unsatisfied electron valence pair. Free radicals are produced in both normal and pathological processes. Free radicals include reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). They are proven or suspected agents of tissue damage in a wide variety of circumstances including radiation, damage from environment chemicals, and aging. Natural and pharmacological prevention of free radical damage is being actively investigated. Free Radical
