Tyrosine radicals localized in the M2 subunits of ribonucleotide reductase have been detected by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) in ordinary ascites tumour cells. The intensity of its doublet EPR spectrum is higher in rapidly proliferating cells. Hydroxyurea, a specific inhibitor of this enzyme, decreases the concentration of the tyrosine radical. Whereas in different ascites tumours the doublet EPR spectrum dominates at g = 2.004, in solid tumours another more intense EPR spectrum from nitrosyl-hemoproteins appears. In conclusion, EPR spectroscopy can be used to monitor the content and variations of active M2 subunits of ribonucleotide reductase in intact ascites tumour cells.

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.
