ESR expert joins the editorial board of Chemistry Central Journal

Professor Gareth R. Eaton, John Evans professor in the department of chemistry and biochemistry at the university of Denver, Colorado, USA, has joined the editorial board of NMR, ESR and NQR spectroscopy.

Prof Eaton is interested in numerous applications of electron spin resonance (ESR), including the development of CW, pulsed and and rapid scan imaging methodologies for in vivo applications. By measuring spin relaxation times using pulsed ESR techniques, insights can be gained into molecular dynamics, and measurements at multiple resonance frequencies can lead to the assignment of reaction mechanisms. Other applications include studies on metalloenzymes, for instance in investigating the iron binding site in transferrin. He is also interested in the application of pulsed and CW ESR techniques in measuring interspin distance as applied to spin-labelled metmyoglobin and carbonic anhydrase, and other biomolecules containing two unpaired electrons.
