News Item, Article

Joint NMR work on calcium that is about to be published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society is highlighted on the CNRS web site in its . The work involved groups coordinated by Danielle Laurencin which she started when she was still at Warwick and is a collaboration with Warwick and French groups in Montpellier, Paris, Gif-sur-Yvette and Orleans. It has been shown that details of calcium's bonding to carbon can be determined which opens up the potential for probing calcium in biomolecules.
