title: Nitroxide-labeled guanine as an ESR spin probe for structural study of DNA.
abstract: A guanine derivative with a covalently linked nitroxide spin label has been devised. The spin label was incorporated into oligodeoxynucleotides by post-synthetic modification. The local environment of a variety of G-rich DNA is detectable by ESR using this spin probe.
