I use magnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR, ENDOR and NMR) to investigate the structure and function of a wide variety of proteins and enzyme model compounds in collaboration with other Biological Chemistry scientists and groups across JIC and the Norwich Research Park. My role is to provide the specialist magnetic resonance expertise.

Examples:

• Nucleotide binding to nitrogenase (³¹P NMR, EPR and ENDOR)
• Metal centres at active sites of proteins (and their chemical models): e.g. N₂ fixing systems (nitrogenase) and denitrification (nitrite reductase and nitrate reductase), hydrogenase, oxalate oxidase and lipoxygenase
• Spin labeling and spin trapping
