The Illinois EPR Research Center
(http://rlb6000.scs.uiuc.edu/)
An NIH-Supported Resource Center
Welcome to the Illinois EPR Research Center (IERC) home page.
The IERC is a research laboratory and national Research Resource started
in 1985. Its major support is from the BTA program in the NIH National
Center for Research Resources under grant P41-RR01811. It is located on
the campus of the University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign. Its Directors
are Professors R. Linn Belford and Robert B. Clarkson
What is EPR? (http://ierc.scs.uiuc.edu/epr.html)
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), also known as electron spin
resonance (ESR) and electron magnetic resonance (EMR), is the name given
to the process of resonant absorption of microwave radiation by paramagnetic
ions or molecules, with at least one unpaired electron spin, and in the
presence of a static magnetic field. EPR was discovered by Zavoisky in
1944. It has a wide range of applications in chemistry, physics, biology,
and medicine: it may be used to probe the "static" structure of solid and
liquid systems, and is also very useful in investigating dynamic processes.

The National Biomedical
EPR Center (http://www.biophysics.mcw.edu/bri-epr/)
The Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) Center at the Medical
College of Wisconsin is the largest EPR facility in the nation with
instrument capabilities for many types of EPR experiments. The ten spectrometers
currently in operation have the capabilities for S, X, L, and Q band, ENDOR,
ELDOR, Saturation-Transfer, Saturation Recovery, and multiquantum spectroscopy.
The research conducted within the EPR Center include both technological
innovation and application of new techniques to biological problems. The
main areas of research are free radicals, spin labeling, metal complexes
and metallo proteins. This center was founded in 1976 by a grant from the
National Center for Research Resources of the National Institutes of Health,
P41-RR01008.

The STDB is a database of over 9000 records of published Spin Trapping
experiments. This data includes the experimental results and journal reference
information. Users may search the database using any combination of several
fields of data such as Spin Trap, radical molecule, solvent, text keywords,
and hyperfine splittings. The resulting data is linked to the journal reference
information.

Research Triangle Park, NC, USA
The NIEHS has produced software for Electron Paramagnetic Resonance
analysis since 1983. Originally, programs were written for the HP technical
workstation that Varian supplied with their last spectrometers, but current
programs are written for the IBM DOS, MS-Windows, and various UNIX workstation
formats. This software is provided free to the EPR research community with
the understanding that any resulting report either internally or externally
distributed explicitly aknowledge this contribution.

The following is an attempt to encourage all interested scientists to
use EPR in their research. It is aimed especially at researchers in Alberta,
who will hopefully be able to use our excellent EPR facility and pay us
lots of money for the privilege.
The MRC Group in the Molecular Biology of Membranes has carried
out extensive studies over recent years using electron paramagnetic resonance
spectroscopy (EPR) to study biologically significant organic free radicals
and transition metal enzyme prosthetic groups (for example in E. coli DMSO
reductase). These studies have utilized an EPR spectrometer located in
the University of Alberta's Faculty of Medicine which is operated by the
MRC Group in the Molecular Biology of Membranes. This facility is now available
on a cost-recovery basis to members of the university research community,
biotechnology research companies, and the chemical industry.

The EPR Group is part of the Physical Chemistry Laboratory
at the Chemistry Department of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology
in Zurich. Our research focuses mainly on the development of techniques
and instrumentation in pulse EPR, but we also concern about applying our
methods on interesting paramagnetic compounds. On this page you can find
besides a short introduction to pulse EPR and pulse ENDOR a summary of
our research we have done during the last few years.

Applications of ESR (http://ahudson.mols.sussex.ac.uk/res.html)
Electron spin resonance is a sensitive and specific technique
for investigating paramagnetic species and has widespread applications
in physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine. We are interested in both
theoretical and practical aspects of the subject including spin relaxation
processes and lineshapes and organometallic free radicals. A recent development
has been the application of ESR to problems of environmental concern, including
in vivo studies of damage to conifers from ozone, sulfur dioxide, and other
phytotoxic pollutants, and the spin-trapping of free radicals produced
in combustion processes.
Wojciech Froncisz
(http://www.mol.uj.edu.pl/user/froncisz/)
Professor of Biophysics, M.Sc. - 1968 from the Moscow State University;
Ph.D. - 1976; Habilitation - 1981; both from the Jagiellonian University,
Visiting Professor at the Medical College of Wisconsin (over 8 years).
Director of the Institute of Molecular Biology (1987-93). Corresponding
Member of the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences. Awarded in 1994 with
a silver medal in recognition of his "benchmark contribution to EPR spectroscopy"
by ternational ESR Society.
Research summary:
Main field of research is electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy
and its application to molecular biophysics, especially to studies of the
structure and dynamics of biomolecules. Dr. Froncisz is involved in the
development of EPR instrumentation for biophysical studies. Together with
Dr. Hyde from the Medical College of Wisconsin (USA) they invented a new
class of microwave resonators named loop-gap resonators. These resonators
serve as very sensitive probes in EPR spectrometers operating in the range
of 1 to 36 GHz. Recently a new pulse EPR spectrometer for saturation recovery
studies of free radicals has been constructed in his laboratory. This unique
instrument sets a new sensitivity standard in the saturation recovery EPR
spectroscopy in the case of biological samples.

About Scientific Software Services
Scientific Software Services was founded in 1988 with a single product,
EPRWare, designed for data acquisition on a Varian EPR
spectrometer. Since that time, we have added products for EPR simulation,
linewidth deconvolution, EPR imaging, for all spectrometers
and have enhanced EPRWare through several version. Our EPR products
