Imagine trying to understand the inner workings of a complex biological system, where the smallest particles, such as free radicals or metal ions, play a crucial role. These particles, though invisible to most traditional methods, hold the key to understanding processes like metabolism, oxidative stress, and cellular communication. This is where Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) Spectroscopy comes into play. EPR is a unique and powerful technique that allows researchers to peer into the molecular world by detecting and analyzing species with unpaired electrons. These species, often fleeting and reactive, are essential players in many biological functions. By studying them, scientists can gain a…
