Abstract: | A multiband (L-band, 0.7GHz; X-band, 9.4GHz; and W-band, 94GHz) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) study was performed for two glycosidated spin probes, 4-(alpha,beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-TEMPO (Glc-TEMPO) and 4-(alpha,beta-D-lactopyranosyloxy)-TEMPO (Lac-TEMPO), and one non-glycosylated spin probe, 4-hydroxy-TEMPO (TEMPOL), where TEMPO=2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxyl, to characterize fundamental hydrodynamic properties of sugar-connected spin probes. The linewidths of these spin probes were investigated in various concentrations of sucrose solutions (0-50wt%). The multiband approach has allowed full characterization of the linewidth parameters, providing insights into the molecular shapes of the spin probes in sucrose solution. The analysis based on the fast-motional linewidth theory has yielded anisotropy parameters of rho(x) approximately 2.6 and rho(y) approximately 0.9 for Glc-TEMPO, and rho(x) approximately 4.2 and rho(y) approximately 0.9 for Lac-TEMPO. These values indicate that the glycosidated spin probes have a prolate-type molecular shape elongated along the x-axis (NO(rad) axis) with Lac-TEMPO elongated more remarkably, consistent with their molecular structures. The interaction parameters k (the ratios of the effective hydrodynamic volumes to the real ones) corrected for the difference in molecular shape have been estimated and found to have the relation k(TEMPOL)
