1,3‐Bis(diphenylene)‐2‐phenylallyl (BDPA)‐based radicals are of interest as polarizing agents for dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP). For this purpose, a BDPA‐nitroxide biradical, employing a phosphodiester linkage, was synthesized. Contrary to what ...

In the first example of site-directed spin-labeling of unmodified RNA, a pyrrolidine-nitroxide derivative of tetramethylrosamine (TMR) was shown to bind with high affinity to the malachite green (MG) aptamer, as determined by continuous-wave (CW) ...
