A novel, stable bioradical.
Several cellular systems have shown a novel EPR spectrum at 77 K, comprising a slightly anisotropic doublet centred on the free-spin g-value, with a hyperfine splitting of ca. 120 G. It is suggested that this species is an occluded protein radical centred on a tryptophan unit.
