Show me your angle: Incorporation of the rigid spin label C allows determination of both distance and orientation of two nitroxide spin labels in DNA by PELDOR experiments at common X-band frequencies. The orientational information is obtained by varying the position of the detection pulses over the nitroxide spectrum. Simulation of the set of time traces yields very precise distances and angles.
刚性自旋标记C的引入使得通过在常见X波段频率下进行脉冲电子双共振(PELDOR)实验来确定DNA中两个氮氧化物自旋标记的距离和方向成为可能。通过改变检测脉冲在氮氧化物光谱上的位置可获得取向信息。对这组时间轨迹的模拟可得出非常精确的距离和角度。
