Abstract excerpt
Site-directed spin labeling in combination with EPR is a powerful method for providing distances on the nm scale in biological systems. The most popular strategy, double electron-electron resonance (DEER), is carried out at cryogenic temperatures (50-80 K) to increase the short spin-spin relaxation time (T2) upon which the technique relies. A challenge is to measure long-range distances (20-60 Å) in proteins near...
