Site-directed spin labeling electron paramagnetic resonance (SDSL-EPR) using nitroxide spin labels is a well-established technology for mapping site-specific secondary and tertiary structure and for monitoring conformational changes in proteins of any degree of complexity, including membrane proteins, with high sensitivity. SDSL-EPR also provides information on protein dynamics in the timescale of ps-μs using continuous wave lineshape analysis and spin lattice relaxation time methods. However, the functionally important time domain of μs-ms, corresponding to large-scale protein motions, is inaccessible to those methods.

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) offers spiritual supports to Veterans nationally through its Chaplaincy Service and its Whole Health initiative. There are no systematic efforts to extend spiritual supports to Veterans re-entering community post-incarceration, however. Thus, the full potential of spiritual supports in bolstering well-being and minimizing recidivism during re-entry may not be fully realized.
