Capture and isolation of radicals by green tea antioxidants

Molecular modelling suggests that the antioxidant molecule EGCG "folds up" around the radical it captures, and therefore should shield the spin density from the environment....分子建模（molecular modelling）研究表明，抗氧化剂分子表没食子儿茶素没食子酸酯（EGCG）会在其捕获的自由基（radical）周围发生“折叠”，因此能够屏蔽自旋密度（spin density）免受外界环境的影响。
