Thermostimulated crystal structure transformation of the polymineral clay submicron particles
Changes in the structure of phyllosilicate microparticles of submicron fractions of polymineral clay with an average size of 290 nm, as well as changes in the positions of impurity ions of transition metals in the crystal lattice, were studied by X-ray ...

Spectroscopically Orthogonal Spin Labels in Structural Biology at Physiological Temperatures [PDF]
Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR) is mostly used in structural biology in conjunction with pulsed dipolar spectroscopy (PDS) methods to monitor interspin distances in biomacromolecules at cryogenic temperatures both in vitro and in cells.

Evidence for an Ordering Transition near 120 K in an Intrinsically Disordered Protein, Casein
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are proteins that possess large unstructured regions. Their importance is increasingly recognized in biology but their characterization remains a challenging task.

Protein-induced changes in DNA structure and dynamics observed with noncovalent site-directed spin-labeling and PELDOR [PDF]
Site-directed spin labeling and pulsed electron–electron double resonance (PELDOR or DEER) have previously been applied successfully to study the structure and dynamics of nucleic acids. Spin labeling nucleic acids at specific sites requires the covalent

Base-specific spin-labeling of RNA for structure determination [PDF]
To facilitate the measurement of intramolecular distances in solvated RNA systems, a combination of spin-labeling, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is presented. The fairly rigid spin label 2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-
