Comprehensive Up-to-Date Coverage of Spectroscopy Theory and its Applications to Biological Systems Although a multitude of books have been published about spectroscopy most of them only occasionally refer to biological systems and the specific problems of biomolecular EPR (bio EPR). Biomolecular EPR Spectroscopy provides a practical introduction to bio EPR and demonstrates how this remarkable tool allows researchers to delve into the structural functional and analytical analysis of paramagnetic molecules found in the biochemistry of all species on the planet. A Must-Have Reference in an Intrinsically Multidisciplinary Field This authoritative reference seamlessly covers all important bio EPR applications including low-spin and high-spin metalloproteins spin traps and spin lables interaction between active sites and redox systems. It is loaded with practical tricks as well as do’s and don’ts that are based on the author’s 30 years of experience in the field. The book also comes with an unprecedented set of supporting software designed with simple graphical user interfaces that allow readers to tackle problems they will likely encounter when engaged in spectral analysis. Breaking with convention the book broaches quantum mechanics from the perspective of biological relevance emphasizing low-symmetry systems. This is a necessary approach since paramagnets in biomolecules typically have no symmetry. Where key topics related to quantum mechanics are addressed the book offers a rigorous treatment in a style that is quick-to-grasp for the non expert. Biomolecular EPR Spectroscopy is a practical all-inclusive reference sure to become the industry standard.|Biomolecular EPR Spectroscopy | Chemistry
