Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Advancing MAS-DNP
During the 88th session of the Global NMR Discussion Meetings held on October 1st, 2024 via Zoom, Dr. Frédéric Mentink-Vigier from the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Florida, US gave a talk on the topic "Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Advancing Magic Angle Spinning Dynamic Nuclear polarization". The recording serves as a tutorial.
Abstract: Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) is crucial for analyzing paramagnetic species used in Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP). This overview covers EPR fundamentals and its application to studying biradicals, which are key for high-field Magic Angle Spinning (MAS) DNP.

EPR-NMR for Protein Modeling
During the 57th session of the Global NMR Discussion Meetings held on November 29th, 2022 via Zoom, Prof. Gunnar Jeschke from ETH Zurich, gave a talk on the topic "Integrating EPR distance distribution restraints with NMR data in protein models". The recording serves as a tutorial.
Abstract:
This zoominar will start with a short explanation of in silico spin labelling, which is useful for planning paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) NMR experiments as well as DEER EPR experiments for measuring distance distributions. I will continue with a primer on converting DEER data into distance distributions. The zoominar concludes with an example of using distance distributions in modelling a weakly structured low-complexity domain of an RNA-binding protein.

Dual NMR-EPR Detection in an Ultra Low Temperature DNP Spectrometer
During the 37th session of the Global NMR Discussion Meetings on Zoom, Kan Tagami, University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), gave a talk on the instrumentation aspects of a dynamic nuclear polarization spectrometer with dual nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) detection at ultra-low temperatures.
Speaker's biography:
2012 - 2016: B.S., Chemistry, College of William and Mary, USA.
2016 - present: Graduate Student Researcher, Chemistry, University of California - Santa Barbara, USA (Advisor: Prof. Songi Han)
Kan's research interest is in the spin physics and instrumentation of dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) in solid state NMR. His goal is to improve the efficiency of solid state DNP under MAS through development of both EPR and NMR instruments, as well as use a wide variety of existing magnetic resonance techniques to characterize and exploit the underlying mechanisms of DNP. Currently, his focus is on development of a low temperature (30K), high field (7T) pulsed EPR/DNP spectrometer with magic angle spinning capabilities.
