spin-polarized EPR transients and spectra
Also known as: EPR transients and spectra, spin-polarized EPR
Taxonomy: Technique Branch / Method. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.
Summary

Ranked Claims
The binding sites of the primary quinone acceptors differ significantly between photosystem I and purple bacterial reaction centres, and pi-pi interactions probably play a more important role in photosystem I.
There is a controversy surrounding the role of a quinone in electron transfer in green-sulphur bacteria and Heliobacteria.
Polarization patterns from sequential radical pairs can be used to deduce the relative orientation of the radicals.
Light-induced spin polarization is used to study the structure and function of type I reaction centres.
Quinone exchange experiments demonstrate that protein-cofactor interactions influence polarization patterns.
