In our recent study with @GoldmanLab @kenividilaseris we used #EPRspectroscopy DEER/PELDOR to monitor Conformational Ensembles of membrane PPases under multiple inhibitors/conditions & detected gating assymetry. Great effort by @DrAnokhiShah @mayue3691 @_katiehardman @UK_EPR_NRF
Excited to share our latest preprint on @bioRxiv! We explored bisphosphonate inhibition on mPPase and, with @PliotasGroup, used DEER spectroscopy to study mPPase's conformational dynamics in solution. @GoldmanLab

Funded by the Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation, we have PhD and Postdoc openings focused on pulsed EPR/ESR spectroscopy and cryo-EM of membrane protein complexes. Join us in Berlin, one of the most scientifically and socially vibrant cities! Please DM for more details. Pls RT!

Really happy our latest EPR study on human serum albumin is now out in @DaltonTrans, many thanks to everyone involved in this project! 🙏

Just accepted in @DaltonTrans 📜CW and pulse EPR to identify native copper(II) binding sites in human serum albumin 🩸 doi.org/10.1039/D4DT00892H fund project with Alan and his student Dongmei from @StAndMedicine and of course led by @AckermannKatrin @StAndrewsChem

Using Dongmei's and Alan's histidine knockout mutants and RIDME distance measurements we could show that of two dominant distances one is diminished in H3A and H9A each. However, H288A only leaves a short distance populations. H67A and H247 show no effect.

Very happy and proud for this one!
We employed γ-irradiated molecules for solid state and dissolution DNP studies looking at 1Hs and 13C. #dnp #nmr #epr

Out now🎉:
Spin–Lattice Relaxation and Spin–Phonon Coupling of ns1 Metal Ions at the Surface
Unusual oxidation state -> unusual electron configuration -> small spin-phonon coupling -> looooooong relaxation times!
The power of surfaces!

Chemicals regulation in the UK is broken. Lead pipes were banned in water supplies in 1970 but it’s still affecting UK residents today.
We are campaigning for a national Chemicals Agency to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past – there’s #NoTimeToWaste
Many congratulations to Professors John Irvine CBE, Terry Smith CBE, and Bob Tooze MBE.
