Bioactive Spin Labels, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1992

Bioactive Spin Labels is a collection of contributions by leading experts on nitroxyl radicals and their application in biomedicine. These compounds are used as side specific contrast agents for in-vivo EPR techniques. Their potential as drugs is investigated. Bioactive Spin Labels is a must for researchers in bioorganic chemistry, pharmacology and biomedicine.
