Satellite-Transition MAS: A New Technique for
High-Resolution Quadrupolar NMR
(short statement
of outcomes for GR/T23824)
There was no significant difference between the planned and actual
expenditure on the grant: Dr Michael Thrippleton was recruited from MIT and
Miss Teresa Kurkiewicz from Nicolaus Copernicus University, Torun and both
spent ~3 years as postdoc and project student, respectively, working on the
development of STMAS and MQMAS NMR spectroscopy in my laboratory.
Michael is now working as a postdoctoral researcher at the
University of Edinburgh, using MRI to study the female pelvis. Teresa has gone
back to Poland, where she is getting interviews with research groups using
solution NMR to study protein structure and function; first drafts of some
chapters of her PhD thesis have been completed and I expect her to submit this
year.
Highlights of the funded research include:
Ð
5 papers published or submitted so far in refereed journals; at least 1 more to
follow
Ð
2 of these papers appeared as "Editor's Choice" in Chemical
Physics Letters
Ð
1 talk presented at the Christmas 2007 Meeting of BRSG: The Magnetic
Resonance Group by Michael
Thrippleton; 5 talks presented at national and international conferences by
Steve Wimperis with results from this project
Ð
2 international poster presentations by Teresa Kurkiewicz
