Applications of Electron Spin Resonance in Biology and Medicine
电子自旋共振(ESR)技术在生物和医学中的应用

Electron spin resonance (ESR) is the most direct technique and an effective and unique way to detect free radicals in biological samples. This paper reviews the applications of ESR in biology and medicine. The topics reviewed include development of spin labeling and spin trapping, ESR imaging and applications of ESR in studies of cell membrane, protein structure, and diseases (i.e., heart diseases, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson’s disease, stoke, radiation damage and plant diseases).
