Laser-induced electron transfer in Trp-Tyr
We wish to perform longitudinal field measurements on the dipeptide Trp-Tyr under laserexcitation, to probe the electron transfer process within the molecule. We have already... -
Vibrations of a muoniated radical center and photochemistry in benzophenone
Benzophenone is an ideal material to study vibrations of a muon radical centre with near-IR laser light, as all C=O bonds in solid state are almost parallel to each other and it... -
How complex is complex: an ALC study of a 10-mer helical peptide chain
There have been ALC studies on the interaction of muons with native proteins, but little systematic work that contributes understanding of how spectroscopic information alters... -
Electron Spin Relaxation Measurements of Amorphous PTAA
The proposed experiment aims to determine the electron spin relaxation rate of the amorphous polymer PTAA as a function of temperature using the HIFI muon spectrometer. For... -
HIFI STUDY OF THE HETEROMETALLIC POLYMERS {[{(PTA)2CpRu-μ-CN-RuCp(PTA)2}...
Our ability to control the synthesis of this kind of material has led to the development of a family of Ru-Ru-M-backbone organometallic compounds with general formula... -
Laser-induced electron transfer in Trp-Tyr
We have recently performed a measurement of the dipeptide Tryptophanil-Tyrosine (Trp-Tyr) dissolved in deoxygenated water, illuminated by the 4th harmonic of the Nd-YAG laser... -
Partitioning of lidocaine into a model lipid system using avoided level cross...
Drug design and development is a costly business with a high attrition rate. There are many reasons why a drug may fail to reach its target site of action but for those that... -

Acidity in zeolites - A MuSR perspective
Zeolites are microporous materials that are used as heterogeneous acid catalysts in reactions. It is important to study reactive intermediates in zeolites in order to understand...
