3-Maleimido-PROXYL, also known as MTEMPO or 3-Maleimido-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1-pyrrolidinyloxy, is a stable nitroxide radical extensively utilized in scientific research. Its distinctive structure enables it to function as a spin label in diverse experimental scenarios. The synthesis of 3-Maleimido-PROXYL involves the reaction between maleimide and 2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1-pyrrolidinyloxy-3-carboxylic acid. By attaching to a specific location on a molecule and modifying its electron spin, 3-Maleimido-PROXYL acts as a spin label. This alteration in spin can be detected using EPR spectroscopy, facilitating the investigation of the molecule′s structure and dynamics by researchers.
