Electron spin resonance absorption of tissue constituents

Electron spin resonance absorption of tissue constituents

H A Pohl et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1977 Apr.

Abstract

The electron spin resonance spectra at g = 2 of the structural and soluble proteins of mouse liver have been investigated separately. The structural materials have signals an order of magnitude stronger. Radicals with important similarities to those occurring in natural tissue can be induced by treating casein with methylglyoxal or crotonaldehyde. The structural proteins of cancer give little or no signal. The color of the proteins and their electron spin resonance signal seem closely related.
