| "There is a parallel between this article and ... saturation recovery ....
Both techniques are sensitive not only to
relaxation between states of an observed transition, but also to all
'other' relaxation pathways. Both have primarily been used in the past
for relaxometry. Saturation recovery is sensitive to the disappearance
of magnetization because of saturation transfer, and ELDOR is sensitive
to consequent appearance of magnetisation elsewhere in the spin
system. They are closely related, but because they have differing
sensitivities to the transverse relaxation mechanisms, use of them
together in a dual manner is appropriate. The author is convinced that
molecular biology, ELDOR, and saturation recovery in concert provide the
basis for a true spectroscopy for the study of complex biological systems
based on nitroxide radical spin labels"
