Biomedical EPR, Part A: Free Radicals, Metals, Medicine, and Physiology. Part B: Methodology, Instrumentation, and Dynamics - Free Radicals, Metals, Medicine, and Physiology; Methodology, Instrumentation, and Dynamics

Biomedical EPR - Part A focuses on applications of EPR spectroscopy in the areas of free radicals, metals, medicine, and physiology. The book celebrates the 70^th birthday of Prof. James S. Hyde, Medical College of Wisconsin, and his contributions to this field. Chapters are written to provide introductory material for new-comers to the field which lead into up-to-date reviews that provide perspective on the wide range of questions that can be addressed by EPR.
Key Features:
-Free Radicals in Medicine
-Radicals in vivo and in Model Systems, and their Study by Spin Trapping
-In vivo EPR, including Oximetry and Imaging
-Time Domain EPR at Radio Frequencies
-EPR of Copper Complexes: Motion and Frequency Dependence
-Time Domain EPR and Electron Spin Echo Envelope Modulation.
Biomedical EPR - Part B focuses on applications of EPR techniques and instrumentation, with applications to dynamics. The book celebrates the 70^th birthday of Prof. James S. Hyde, Medical College of Wisconsin, and his contributions to this field. Chapters are written to provide introductory material for new-comers to the field that lead into up-to-date reviews that provide perspective on the wide range of questions that can be addressed by EPR.
Key Features:
