1 Ifs and Buts of DEER Likai Song, Ilker Sen, Marco Bonora, P. Fajer Florida State University, NHMFL

2 1. X-band v. W-band: is bigger better? DEER STEPR 2. DEER Analysis: how not to over interpret the data? 3. Rotamers: is there H-bond? 4. Structure determination: EPR as a structural method? 11/06/09

3 W-band DEER T4L_21C65C X-band 0.26 W-band TnC_55C83C CDB3_142C CDB3_341C CDB3_342C
