    Project Details

    Description

    Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) is a leading spectroscopic tool, increasingly employed in the biological, physical and materials sciences. It is used to study metalloproteins, metal ions, free radicals, biological and inorganic catalytic sites and trapped charge centres in semiconductors, among many applications. Paramagnetic materials contain unpaired electrons and may be viewed with high sensitivity against a background of non-magnetic matter. Recent advances have made possible the use of EPR to study the structure of protein and polymer macromolecules using new spin labelling methodologies.This proposal, with two leading universities, substantially advances our national capacity in these areas of EPR application.
