Round 4: Tossup 21

A 2D extension of this technique requires quantifying “blind spot behavior” as a function of frequency and time delay. Xenon and MMM can analyze data produced in this technique, the latter of which can interpret cysteine labels created during SDSL. (15[1])Modulation of an exponential decay signal produced in this technique’s ESEEM form often suggests anisotropy in one interaction. More peaks are seen in this technique when zero-field splitting occurs due to (*) hyperfine coupling. (10[1])In this technique, a system’s splitting energy can be calculated as the product of the Bohr magneton, (10[1])g-factor, and magnetic field. This is the most common technique used to study metal catalytic sites and free radicals. (10[1])For 10 points, NMR is the “nuclear” analog (10[1])of what technique used to study the spins of electrons? ■END■

ANSWER: EPR spectroscopy [or electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy; accept ESR spectroscopy or electron spin resonance spectroscopy; accept ESEEM spectroscopy or electron spin echo envelope modulation spectroscopy until “ESEEM” is read; accept HYSCORE]
