The Application of Advanced EPR Methods to Study Molecular Macrosystems, Containing Electron Spins
摘要
This review highlights the research achievements recognized by Zavoisky Award 2023. It summarizes results obtained over the past fifteen years using pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, conducted at the N. N. Vorozhtsov Novosibirsk Institute of Organic Chemistry (NIOCh SB RAS) in collaboration with Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences and international partners. A central focus is the development and application of highly stable nitroxide- and triarylmethyl (TAM) radical-based spin labels and probes, synthesized at NIOCH SB RAS, to address a range of fundamental biophysical problems. The last trends in development of pulse dipolar EPR spectroscopy and its application to study biomolecules are also shortly considered.
