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 Read more: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

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

🥁 Thus the RIDME/EPR cluedo suggests that the three main sites for copper(II) form a triangle with vertices at copper-ions coordinated to H3, H9 and H288. Especially the last one was a surprise. 🧲

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! J Phys Chem Lett pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

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
