New applications of paramagnetic NMR in chemical biology.
The methodological accessibility to solution structure and dynamic investigation of paramagnetic metallobiomolecules has afforded the ability to tackle the redox pairs of electron transfer proteins of which at least one is paramagnetic, to study the orientation effects of high magnetic fields on paramagnetic biomolecules, and finally to study the role of metal-based cofactors in protein folding and stability.
