Metabolically Responsive Contrast or Imaging Agents for NMR or ESR Imaging: Metabolism of Nitroxides in Cells

Abstract

dc:description

The use of nitroxide spin labels in complex biological systems as biophysical tools to study molecular dynamics of membranes and cells and as contrast or imaging agents for NMR or ESR imaging and in vivo spectroscopy has led to a need to understand thoroughly the metabolism of nitroxides in cells. A fundamental investigation of the metabolism of nitroxide in cells is presented in this thesis.
