Konstantin Ivanov Intercontinental Magnetic Resonance Seminar

Konstantin Ivanov intercontinental magnetic resonance seminar series started on April 8, 2020. It organises seminars on a range of topics in magnetic resonance covering NMR, EPR, hyperpolarisation, colour centres and optical pumping, and ZULF NMR. The emphasis of the talks are on both methods and applications and a perspective on the future of the field. The speakers include a wide range of scientists ranging from PhD students to post-doctoral fellows, to senior scientists.

Upcoming Talks:

• January 23, 2026, Benjamin Tatman, IST, Austria, "Bumps on the road: Microsecond motions by MAS NMR",  Nuclear spin relaxation is in principle a sensitive probe of molecular motion. For the accurate quantitation of protein dynamics, we require measurements free of confounding coherent effects. Recently, we identified the presence of a three-spin recoupling condition in the measurement of Bloch-McConnell Relaxation Dispersion leading to artefactual 'bumps' in several published works. In this talk, I will discuss how we identified this effect, how to remove the presence of these artefacts and so record clean relaxation dispersion. The removal of this effect then enables the quantitative analysis of relaxation dispersion even in fully protonated proteins at 100 kHz MAS.
