Global fitting with evolving factor analysis revealed two distinct radical species, with the dominant low-power component assigned to the Tyr–Cys· side chain. EPR spectra of multiple isotopically labeled variants enabled determination of g‑values, hyperfine coupling constants, and linewidths through spectral simulation. The results indicate significant spin density on methylene protons, aromatic carbons, and sulfur and oxygen atoms, providing detailed structural insight into the Tyr–Cys· radical. 000000146 540__ $$fCC BY 000000146 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000146 650__ $$aGalactose Oxidase$$019347 000000146 650__ $$aFree Radicals$$019268 000000146 650__ $$aElectron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy$$018295 000000146 6531_ $$atyr-cys free radical 000000146 691__ $$aOGI School of Science and Engineering$$041365 000000146 692__ $$aDepartment of Environmental and Biomolecular Systems$$041414 000000146 7001_ $$aLee, Yuk$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000146 7201_ $$aWhittaker, James$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000000146 8564_ $$9decd3266-1459-4d88-ab9b-6f4e28a91599$$s1790908$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/146/files/146_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$227cbab9a5750c672dae1479a4d5a19c3$$31 000000146 901__ $$a<p>These documents are archival records.
