EPR MANUALS


Short-short Introduction to EPR Spectroscopy
Very basic description of this technique, explaining why EPR spectra look the way they do.


Practical Aspects of Measuring EPR Spectra
This Manual describes how to find the optimal settings (temperature/power) for your EPR signal. A copper standard is used to check for possible problems with the helium flow and temperature. Integration of your EPR signal and that of the copper standard to obtain the signal intensity of the EPR spectrum.


Measuring an EPR Spectrum
This is the manual for using the Bruker EMX spectrometer present in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry.


Simulation of EPR spectra

Set of exercises to introduce simulation of EPR spectra. The course works with the software package developed by Fred Hagen (http://www.bt.tudelft.nl/biomolecularEPRspectroscopy/). The software and additional files for this course can be found here.


Selected Samples
Selection of common and less common types of EPR signals.


Metalloenzymes of Methanogenesis
Description of the metallocofactors and EPR spectra of enzymes from the hydrogenotrophic pathway found in methanogenic Archaea.
