Objective: The objectives of this study were to investigate the direct antioxidative effect of 90 Kda heat shock protein (Hsp90) obtained from duck muscle. Methods: The interaction of Hsp90 with phospholipids and oxidized phospholipids was studied with surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and their further oxidation in the presence of Hsp90 was evaluated with thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assay. The scavenging effect on the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) was measured, and the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy in combination with 5-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-5-methyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide and 2-phenyl-4,4,5,5,-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (PTIO) was utilized to determine the abilities of Hsp90 in scavenging hydroxyl and PTIO radicals. Results: SPR showed Hsp90 could bind with both phospholipids and oxidized phospholipids, and prevent their further oxidation by the TBARS assay. The DPPH and ABTS scavenging activity increased with Hsp90 concentration, and could reach 27% and 20% respectively at the protein concentration of 50 μM. The EPR spectra demonstrated Hsp90 could directly scavenge ·OH and PTIO· radicals. Conclusion: This suggests that Hsp90, a natural antioxidant in meat, may play an important role in cellular defense against oxidative stress, and may have potential use in meat products.

Yeast cytochrome c (cyt c) was modified at cysteine-102 with a thiol-specific spin label and its interaction with liposomes containing acidic phospholipids was studied by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Association of cyt c with liposomes resulted in a significant reduction in the mobility of the spin label and a fraction of cyt c even seemed to be immobilized. Based on a large spectral change upon binding and the proximity of the spin-label to lysine-86 and -87, we propose these two residues to be the potential binding site at neutral pH. The interaction is electrostatic in nature because the spectral changes were reversed by addition of anions. Dissociation of the bound cyt c by anions, however, became less effective as the lipid/protein ratio increased. This suggests a repulsive lateral interaction among the bound cyt c. Unlabeled cyt c molecules added to preformed cyt c-liposome complex displaced the bound (spin labeled) cyt c and the process was competitive and reversible.

$^1H$ and $^{13}C$ NMR spectra for pyridine, ${\beta}$-and ${\gamma}$-picoline, pyrazine, and 4,4'-bipyridyl complexed with paramagnetic undecatungstocobalto(II)silicate and undecatungstonickelo(II)silicate anions are reported. For these complexes the ligand exchange is slow on the NMR time scale and the pure resonance lines have been observed at room temperature. The isotropic shifts in nickel complexes can be interpreted in terms of contact shifts by ${\sigma}$-electron delocalization. Both contact and pseudocontact shifts contribute to the isotropic shifts in cobalt complexes. The contact shifts, which are obtained by subtracting the pseudocontact shifts from the isotropic shifts, require both ${\sigma}$-and ${\pi}$-electron delocalization from the cobalt ion. Slow ligand exchange has also allowed us to identify the species formed when bidentate ligands react with the heteropolyanions. Pyrazine forms a 1 : 1 complex, while 4,4'-bipyridyl forms both 1 : 1 and dumbbell-shaped 1 : 2 complexes.

MgAl2O4:Eu3+ red-light emitting powder phosphor was prepared at temperature as low as 500 oC within a few minutes by using the combustion route. The prepared powder was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry. The luminescence of Eu3+-activated MgAl2O4 shows a strong red emission dominant peak around 611 nm, which can be attributed to the 5D0-7F2 transition of Eu3+ ions from the synthesized phosphor particles under excitation (394 nm). Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements at the X-band showed that no signal could be attributed to Eu2+ ions in MgAl2O4.

Ferroelectric $LiTaO_3$ single crystals, grown by the Czochralski method, were thermally treated at temperature $1000^{\circ}C\;and\;1100^{\circ}C$. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) study of stoichiometric $LiTaO_3$ and thermally treated $LiTaO_3$ crystals has been investigated by employing an X-band spectrometer. From the $Fe^{3+}$ EPR spectra, it turned out that there is no change of site location and local site symmetry around $Fe^{3+}$ impurity ion between stoichiometric and thermally treated $LiTaO_3$ single crystals. We confirmed that the ionic state of $Fe^{3+}$ ion changed after thermal treatment. The EPR parameters of $Fe^{3+}$ ion in $LiTaO_3$ single crystals are determined with effective spin Hamiltonian.

To understand the electronic structure of $[NiS_4]^-$ complex ions, two complexes with such $[NiS_4]^-$ core, $FcCH=CHPymCH_3[Ni(dmit)_2]$ (Pym = pyridinium, $dmit^{2-}$ = 2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate) and $FcCH=CHPymCH_3[Ni(dddt)_2]{\cdot}{\frac{1}{2}}H_2O$ ($dddt^{2-}=5,6-dihydro-1,4-dithiin-2,3-dithiolato$), were synthesized to be characterized by X-ray crystallography, single crystal electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Powder EPR spectra show narrow g-anisotropy but the anisotropy is bigger in $[Ni(dmit)_2]^-$ than in $[Ni(dddt)_2]^-$, indicating bigger spin density in Ni(III) d-orbital of $[Ni(dmit)_2]^-$ than in $[Ni(dddt)_2]^-$, which is consistent to DFT results. EPR studies of the crystals of the complexes surprisingly suggest that the $g_y$-axis of $[Ni(dddt)_2]^-$ is approximately on or perpendicular to the $[NiS_4]^-$ plane while the $g_y$-axis of $[Ni(dmit)_2]^-$ is on the plane, though DFT study of the complexes of this study and previously reported $[NiS_4]^-$ complexes indicate that the $g_y$-axis is on the $[NiS_4]^-$ plane.

The authors investigated the photoluminescence (PL) and the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) from an magnesium (Mg)-doped GaN thin film with a delta-doped layer. The regularly doped sample shows a PL peak at 2.776 eV for the as-grown sample, and the peak shifts to 2.904 eV and increases in intensity for the annealed sample. The delta-doped sample also shows the same PL peak as does the regularly doped sample. However, only the annealed delta-doped layer shows a sharp EPR with a small isotropic Lande g-factor, $g_{II}$, of 2.029. This resonance is attributed to the delta-doped layer, which forms a hole-bound Mg-N atomic structure instead of the $Mg_{Ga}-V_N$ defect complex, indicating that the delta-doped sample was not optically activated to form PL centers but was instead electrically activated to form a hole-bound state.
