The affinity and structure of biomolecules immobilized on a 3-D substrate: Time-resolved EPR detection during mobile phase gradients

Lead Institution

Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Eric Walter

We propose the development of a new magnetic resonance technique to monitor the interactions of biomolecules with binding partners and their environment. Physically, this will be implemented by…
