Contains papers from an April 1997 symposium, held in San Francisco, California, in sections on recent advances in ground-state and excited-state methods, electron transfer, cluster interactions, active site geometric and electronic structures, and intermediates. Early papers discuss new directions in different methods of bioorganic spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and protein crystallography, and later papers examine both detailed application of specific spectroscopic methods and work applying a range of methods.

This volume contains recent advances in spectrographic methods, including EPR, magnetic Mossbauer, paramagnetic and multi-D NMR, metalloprotein crystallography, EAS, magnetic circular dichroism, resonance Raman, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and electron structure calculations. The book concentrates on topics where spectrographic methods have had a major impact, such as electron transfer, cluster interactions, intermediates, and definition of active site structure, and it includes a thorough tutorial on basic methods.
