        Most notable achievements

  • Elaboration of the proton-decoupled R1rho experiment under MAS
  • Detection of the "long tail" of the protein Brownian tumbling correlation function arising due to the inter-molecular electrostatic steering in solution
  • Revealing the importance of anisotropic inter-protein interactions for the (de)coupling of rotational and translational diffusions in concentrated protein solutions
  • The first application of the solid-state NMR MAS-synchronized exchange experiments to the study of the millisecond time-scale dynamics of proteins
