Modern trends in solid-state NMR and spin dynamics: towards non-destructive peptide-based polarizing agents for DNP

Duration of the project

01.06.2018. - 30.11.2018.

Countries and institutions involved in the project

flag-LT
Vilnius University
flag-DE
University of Technology Darmstadt

Aim of the project

i) systematically investigate the building blocks (amino acids) of the peptides for the purpose to choose the target ones for preparing radical peptide;

ii) investigate the synthesised radical peptides for the purpose to employ them for DNP NMR spectroscopy.
