RIDME Spectroscopy: New Topics Beyond the Determination of Electron Spin-Spin Distances.

Relaxation-induced dipolar modulation enhancement (RIDME) is a pulse EPR experiment originally designed to determine distances between spin labels. However, RIDME has several features that make it an efficient tool in a number of "nonconventional" applications, away from the original purpose of this pulse experiment. RIDME appears to be an interesting experiment to probe longitudinal electron spin dynamics, e.

Non-commutative perturbation theory for spin dynamics explains the factorization properties of RIDME background.

The intermolecular hyperfine relaxation-induced dipolar modulation enhancement (ih-RIDME) experiment has a promising potential to quantitatively characterize the nuclear environment in the 0.8-3 nm range around an electron spin. Such information about the spatial arrangement of nuclei is of great interest for structural biology as well as for dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) methods.

EquipSent - Enabling Sustainable Education, Everywhere.

EquipSent is a volunteer-based non-profit organization aiming at creating conditions for sustainable teaching, study, and academic research worldwide. Used, functional equipment is collected by its members, who are responsible for matching the donations with the receivers in need. After starting in 2017, nine big transfers were accomplished that significantly impacted the quality of local scientific and educational life.

Quantification of Distributions of Local Proton Concentrations in Heterogeneous Soft Matter and Non-Anfinsen Biomacromolecules.

A new method to quantitatively analyze heterogeneous distributions of local proton densities around paramagnetic centers in unstructured and weakly structured biomacromolecules and soft matter is introduced, and its feasibility is demonstrated on aqueous solutions of stochastically spin-labeled polysaccharides. This method is based on the pulse EPR experiment ih-RIDME (intermolecular hyperfine relaxation-induced dipolar modulation enhancement). Global analysis of a series of RIDME traces allows for a mathematically stable transformation of the time-domain data to the distribution of local proton concentrations.
