ELECTRON SPIN RESONANCE FACILITY
The ESR facility houses two
instruments both of which are used to examine the structure and properties
of metal-containing inorganic complexes, peptides, proteins, enzymes, nanoparticles,
and biological membranes. The facility's Bruker ELEXSYS 580 X-band spectrometer
operates in either continuous-wave or pulsed mode, with variable temperature
control. The instrument is also capable of excitation at two frequencies
thus enabling Double Electron-Electron Resonance (DEER) for measuring long
distances between paramagnetic probes. The second instrument, a high-sensitivity
Bruker EMX, is especially useful for the limited sample sizes often encountered
in biological studies. The
ESR Facility is located in Physical Sciences Building and managed by Chemistry Professor
Glenn Millhauser.
