Zusatztext "EPR is being increasingly used to investigate biological systems! but there is currently no text that biologists! biochemists! and bioinorganic chemists can use to understand the experimental and theoretical aspects of this technique without being experts in quantum mechanics? provides a valuable introductory text that can be recommended? The author is a prolific writer with a clear and concise writing style." -Michael K. Johnson! Department of Chemistry! University of Georgia! Athens! USA Informationen zum Autor Wilfred Raymond Hagen Klappentext Biomolecular EPR spectroscopy is widely used for the structural! functional! and analytical analysis of paramagnetic molecules in the biochemistry of all species and in related fields. This volume presents comprehensive! up-to-date coverage of the theory of spectroscopy and its applications to biological systems. The underlying quantum mechanics is introduced! assuming no previous knowledge but offering rigorous treatment. The author provides practical tricks as well as" do's "and" don'ts" based on his 30 years of experience in the field. The text also includes supporting software with simple graphical user interfaces to allow readers to tackle most of the problems faced in spectral analysis. Zusammenfassung Covers the spectroscopy theory and its applications to biological systems. This book presents practical introduction to bioEPR 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 various species on the planet.
