Abstract

A number of problems concerning the structure and dynamics of complex molecular systems including examples from biology can be solved by a modification of a chosen portion of the object of interest by a physical label such as a stable radical, paramagnetic complex, luminophore, or Moessbauer atom followed by monitoring the label’s properties by appropriate physical methods.
