Enhancing our Understanding of Metallochemistry in Neurobiology with Modern EPR Spectroscopy

Abstract
Many neurological diseases involve protein accumulation that appears causally linked to abnormal levels of metal ions in the brain. This project will use a special technique called electron paramagnetic resonance to uncover how these metals interact with specific proteins at the molecular level and how drug treatments can modify these interactions.
