Metal Ions in Biological Systems Volume 22: Endor: EPR, and Electron Spin Echo for Probing Coordination Spheres

Edited By Helmut Sigel Copyright 1986
    320 Pages
    by CRC Press

    This volume focuses on the physical methods to probe the coordination sphere of metal ions in biological systems, which are based on para-magnetic species, namely, the electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and electron spin echo (ESE) techniques.
