EPR spectroscopy can then detect the presence of transition metals for example in the contamination of materials (eg from chromium, iron or manganese) or in macromolecules (metalloproteins). | EPR spectroscopy can then detect the presence of transition metals for example in the contamination of materials (eg from chromium, iron or manganese) or in macromolecules (metalloproteins). |
