Assessing dimerisation degree and cooperativity in a biomimetic small-molecule model by pulsed EPR

Abstract

Pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is gaining increasing importance as a complementary biophysical technique in structural biology. Here, we describe the synthesis, optimisation, and EPR titration studies of a spin-labelled terpyridine Zn(ii) complex serving as a small-molecule model system for tuneable dimerisation.
