Electron spin resonance simulation

It is likely that the answers to these questions will come only from more selective and sophisticated experiments than have been done hitherto, although some useful directions have been established. The use of high-sensitivity electron spin resonance for the study in situ of anticipated radical species will likely be possible, if the background signals from other radiation-produced species are not too intense. Studies of the chemistry of implanted atoms and ions in solid organometallic substrates will make it possible to start with totally unbound atoms which suffer no Auger ionization and thus to simulate the extreme of the total recoil. Careful studies of the thermal annealing effects, especially in the presence of reactive atmospheres, will...

Fig.5 First-derivative electron spin resonance spectra found immediately after /-irradiation of samples of 20 mg/mL DNA in 7M LiBr with various loadings of MX. The dashed spectra are simulations made by linear least-squares fits of the benchmark functions (Fig. 3a and b) to experimental spectra. The spectra clearly show that MX increases in relative amount to the DNA anion radical with increased loading of MX. At the lowest loading of MX (228 bp/1 MX) these fits suggest that 8.7% of the electrons are found on MX, whereas at the highest loading (23 bp/1 MX) 59% are captured by MX with the remainder on DNA. The fraction of electrons captured by MX increases with time [7a]. Reprinted with permission from the J. Phys. Chem. Copyright (2000) American Chemical Society...

These three studies have been described at some length, in part to illustrate the different approaches available for calculating thermodynamic properties of complex systems but also to emphasise the fact that different methods can given quite different (and sometimes contradictory) results. Such comparative studies serve to highlight the fact that it is necessary to examine critically the methods and models used in a calculation. All three studies were in part prompted by experimental electron spin resonance results that suggested that a 16-residue alanine-based peptide adopted a 3io-helical conformation in water [Miick et al. 1992]. These results were contradicted by aU the simulations, and indeed prompted Smythe and Marshall to imdertake similar experiments on their conformationally constrained peptides, experiments which showed that these peptides were u-helical, in agreement with the calculations.

So, what to do with all the excitement in the electron spin resonance (ESR) community over the extraordinary advances in ESR techniques in the last 20 years, techniques that have been used in Polymer Science The pulsed, high field, double resonance, and DEER experiments, ESR imaging, simulations Someone must tell the story, and I took the challenge.

As mentioned above, the development of theoretical tools appropriate for computational spectroscopy studies capable of describing complex molecular systems and still endowed with the accuracy needed to gain full insight into important real-world processes requires a novel vision old paradigms employed for most of the last century and based on clear-cut space-and-time separations are no longer valid. For example, discussing emission/absorption spectroscopy of photoactive biomolecules or the electron spin resonance signal of labeled systems considered as isolated objects is not a realistic option anymore, and the multiscale nature of these observations must be taken into account at a rather sophisticated level in order to simulate/reproduce/ interpret available experimental data.
