Question
CIDNP (“kidnip”) can be used to detect these compounds via NMR. One of these compounds is attached to a macromolecule in spin labeling, as monitored by EPR spectroscopy. DPPH, Fremy’s salt and TEMPO are persistent examples of these compounds. These compounds may be formed through homolytic cleavage. Fish-hook arrows represent the lone (*) electron movement of these compounds. Damage to DNA by these compounds may cause cancer. Antioxidants neutralize these compounds through electron donation. For 10 points, name these highly reactive species containing unpaired electrons. ■END■
