Big Results from Small Solutions: New Method for Analyzing Metalloproteins (Figure 1)

Caption

(a) Photo of a nanomembrane. The nanomembrane itself is very thin (100 nm) so it appears transparent to the naked eye. The item encircled in the center is a tiny magnet for EPR detection.

(b) Photo of the solution cell. The container is topped with a Teflon cover to prevent the solution sample evaporating.

(c) The experimental setup of the force-detected EPR spectroscopy. The solution cell containing the measurement sample is placed above the membrane with magnets attached. Changes in the nanomembrane are detected by the optical fiber below the membrane.
