Introduction and principles • Paramagnetic species (in biology) • Spin S = 1/2 systems hyperfine coupling anisotropy • Spin S > 1/2 systems half-integer integer polynuclear systems • Bio-EPR spectroscopy
History of (bio)EPR 1944- discovery of the EPR effect E.K. Zavoisky concomitantly: solid-state physicists: quantum theoretical bases 1952- first detection of an EPR spectrum (radical) 1956- J.E. Bennett and D.J.E. Ingram : single crystal EPR studies of Hemoglobin 1959- R.H. Sands H. Beinert : EPR studies of frozen solutions of heart tissue 1959- B.G. Malmström and T. Vänngard : EPR studies of frozen solutions of multicentre metalloenzymes
History Two and a half decades after the first observation of EPR signal : EPR Spectroscopy became a practical research tool for non specialists Powerful tool to study paramagnetic systems unpaired electrons « EPR signal intensity and Powder Shapes: A Reexamination » R. Aasa, T. Vänngård, J. Magn. Res. 1975, 19, 308-315

Intensity of EPR signal Depends on: • Sample concentration (spin concentration) • Power of the microwaves • Temperature • (Modulation) Experimental key parameters !
EPR SAMPLES -powder -solution typical biological samples • frozen solutions: • cylindrical quartz tube • 100-200 L • 3-4 mm inner diameter room temperature experiments: water - high dielectric constant flat cells or capillary
Organic radicals • Inorganic radicals: NO, O2 • metal ions and metal complexes (metalloproteins) • defect centers in crystals or semiconductors • metallic conductors
