| The aim of this work was to compare free radical properties of some model neuromelanins obtained from dopamine and its mixture with 5-S-cysteinyldopamine in various molar ratios. The EPR method was used in these investigations; the samples were detected at X and K bands. The parameters of EPR spectra, free radicals concentrations in air and in vacuum, the influence of microwave power and temperature on intensity of resonance signals were measured. |
