  • Title: The detection of superoxide anion from the reaction of oxyhemoglobin and phenylhydrazine using EPR spectroscopy.
    Author: Goldberg B, Stern A, Peisach J, Blumberg WE.
    Journal: Experientia; 1979 Apr 15; 35(4):488-9. PubMed ID: 220081.
    Abstract:
    The low temperature EPR spectrum of a quickly reacted mixture of oxyhemoglobin and phenylhydrazine was studied. With the use of a computer, the spectral contribution of methemoglobin in the region of g = 2 was subtracted. The remaining spectrum was that of an axial free radical (g perpendicular = 2.00, g parallel = 2.06) having the magnetic parameters of superoxide anion. In the presence of superoxide dismutase, this axial radical was not seen, confirming that superoxide anion is indeed generated by the reaction.
