RESUMEN

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is a very powerful biophysical tool that can provide valuable structural and dynamic information about a wide variety of biological systems. The intent of this review is to provide a general overview for biochemists and biological researchers of the most commonly used EPR methods and how these techniques can be used to answer important biological questions. The topics discussed could easily fill one or more textbooks; thus, we present a brief background on several important biological EPR techniques and an overview of several interesting studies that have successfully used EPR to solve pertinent biological problems. The review consists of the following sections: an introduction to EPR techniques, spin-labeling methods, and studies of naturally occurring organic radicals and EPR active transition metal systems that are presented as a series of case studies in which EPR spectroscopy has been used to greatly further our understanding of several important biological systems.
