Reactivities of Metal Ion Complexes by Phosphorus Relaxation Enhancement
Research in Dr. Summers' laboratory focuses on elucidating the factors that determine the reactivities of metal ion complexes, with specific emphasis on chemistries of biological or clinical importance. The work relies heavily on novel NMR methods called Phosphorus Relaxation Enhancement (PhoRE). PhoRE methods were developed by Dr. Summers and colleagues to characterize reactivities of paramagnetic metal ion complexes. The work can be classified into three areas, (1) initial work to develop the methods, (2) studies on nucleic acids, and (3) studies on proteins and peptides.
