Efficient Orthogonal Spin Labeling of Proteins via Aldehyde Cyclization for Pulsed Dipolar EPR Distance Measurements
Pulsed dipolar electron paramagnetic resonance (PD-EPR) measurement is a powerful technique for characterizing the interactions and conformational changes of biomolecules. The extraction of these dist...
