Doctoral Dissertations
An X-band Electron Nuclear Double Resonance (ENDOR) spectrometer was constructed, tested at both room and liquid helium temperatures, and characterized at liquid helium temperature using a vanadyl-imidazole standard.
An iron nitrosyl complex of transferrin was studied. Three methods of generating nitric oxide gas were tested and resulted in no differences in product formation. The g-factors for the rhombic complex--prepared with and without carbonate addition to the buffer--were determined. For the complex prepared with carbonate g$\sb{\rm x}$ = 2.052, g$\sb{\rm y}$ = 2.028, and g$\sb{\rm z}$ = 2.013. For the complex prepared without addition of carbonate g$\sb{\rm x}$ = 2.051, g$\sb{\rm …
