This book is based on two keywords: Bioradical and ESR. Bioradical is a newly coined word which encompasses paramagnetic species in biological systems, such as active oxygen radicals and transition metal ions. Research on the structure and function of bioradicals has been attrac­ ting growing attention in the field of biological science, and comprehensive investigations from many fields are helping to understand the real features of these species. ESR spectroscopy also has interdisciplinary features in that its techniques have been applied to many fields, ranging from physics to medicine. It was our hope, therefore, that this book would help to clarify many aspects of bioradicals and that significant progress would be achieved in combining basic research from many different fields. This book arises from the First International Conference on Bioradicals Detected by ESR Spectroscopy (ICBES), which was held in Yamagata, a city in the Yamagata Prefecture of Japan, in 1994. About 300 participants from 16 different countries attended this conference, and about 170 papers were presented. This book is a collection of contributions from the conference and also contains eleven chapters selected by the editorial board, based on sugges­ tions from the members of the international editorial board of ICBES. The Yamagata Technopolis Foundation is developing a biomedical technology for the 21st century based on life science fused with material and physical science. Based on such a techno­ logy, the Foundation plans to share its fruits all over the world.

This book presents the historical background as well as the up-to-date developments in, and guidelines for, bioradicals and ESR research. Bioradicals Detected by ESR Spectroscopy is a newly coined term which encompasses paramagnetic species in biological systems, such as active oxygen radicals and transition metal ions. Research on the structures and functions of bioradicals have been attracting growing attention in the biological sciences, resulting in an increasing demand for comprehensive studies which allow researchers from many fields to understand the true importance of these species. ESR spectroscopy is of great interest to interdisciplinary research and is applied in many fields, ranging from physics and chemistry to biology and medicine. New ESR technologies of multiquantum ESR, STM-ESR and open-space ESR, several ESR imaging techniques, spin trapping and new methods in in vivo spin trapping are all described and discussed in this volume. In addition, it demonstrates the applications of ESR in food and medical sciences, i.e., the estimation and characterization of the antioxidant ability of foods and food components and the elucidation of the underlying chemical mechanisms
