The utility of resolving superhyperfine (SHF) structure followed by computer simulations has been demonstrated to assist in the assignment of EPR spectra with close values of hyperfine splitting constants, e.g., DMPO/<sup>·</sup>OH and DMPO/<sup>·</sup>OR. Here,<sup>·</sup>OR is the alkoxyl radical derived from thermal decomposition of 2,2′-azobis (2-amidinopropane) hydrochloride (AAPH). In addition, two other spin traps, derivatives of 2<em>H</em>-imidazole 1-oxide, namely, 2,2,4-trimethyl-2<em>H</em>-imidazole 1-oxide (TMIO) and 2,2-dimethyl-4-phenyl-2<em>H</em>-imidazole 1-oxide (DMPIO), have been used in a model study to develop a procedure for distinguishing between oxygen-centered spin adducts. These results are compared with those for DMPO. TMIO and DMPIO spin traps provide more distinguishable individual spectra with<sup>·</sup>OH and AAPH-derived<sup>·</sup>OR radicals than the DMPO spin trap. The formation of DMPO/<sup>·</sup>OR(AAPH) and DMPIO/<sup>·</sup>OR(AAPH) spin adducts was confirmed by mass spectrometry. The comparison of spin trapping by DMPO and 2<em>H</em>-imidazole 1-oxides using typical biological sources of other oxygen-centered radicals reveals application limits of these spin traps. For example, 2<em>H</em>-imidazole 1-oxides do not form superoxide spin adducts in the xanthine/xanthine oxidase system. Also, for the first time, experimental evidence is presented for SHF structure in spectra of TMIO and DMPIO spin adducts with<sup>·</sup>OH/<sup>·</sup>OD and<sup>·</sup>CH<sub>3</sub>/<sup>·</sup>CD<sub>3</sub>radical species.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16130,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Magnetic Resonance, Series B","volume":"111 3","pages":"Pages 272-280"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1006/jmrb.1996.0093","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19638168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The latter technique is suited for recording of velocity maps as well as for localizing of regions with enhanced echo attenuation by incoherent motions. Slight coherent displacements in the middle of the upper part of the egg white were found after the fourth day of incubation with the aid of both pulse schemes. The maximum velocity was estimated to be 1 mm/s. More pronounced effects revealed themselves in the examination of incoherent motions. After the same time of incubation and in a somewhat more restricted area of the upper part of the egg white, distinct motions could be localized consistently with either technique. It is shown that these motions are directed to and from the yolk. Furthermore, the analysis of the time fluctuations of the local signals with the aid of a Fourier transformation showed that the flow is largely of a pulsating nature.
