I am Senior Lecturer in Analytical Chemistry and Programme Leader for the MSc Drug Discovery, Development and Delivery within the School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences. The Fielding group uses electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy to solve biological and material science problems concerning structure and transient intermediates. EPR is analogous to nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and measures unpaired electrons. EPR is particularly useful for studying metal complexes and organic radicals. The applications are broad, ranging from chemistry/pharmacy, materials science to sports science. The Fielding group’s research is wide-ranging and problem driven.
Research interests
Plastic Waste
We have recently successfully obtained a Leverhulme Fellowship (2019-2020) and a RSC Research Enablement Grant (2021-2022) for a project titled: “Understanding the radical source of the degradation of plastic waste”. The project aims to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the radical mechanism of action involved in the degradation of common plastic waste materials. We have done several media appearances on this subject and are happy to do more.
Industrial aspects of EPR
The objectives involve employing EPR and various spectroscopic methods to assess drug interactions within the industrial context.
Materials Science
We have a number of collaborations concerning novel carbon materials for energy devices. We have worked on the surface chemistry of graphene oxide using EPR (Fielding, A.J.* et al., Applied ACS Nano., 2019, 2, 19–27).
Structural Biology
Excitingly, we have developed a new synthetic strategy that uses spin labels to link biofunctional groups to surfaces (Fielding, A.J.* et al., A Bifunctional Spin Label for Ligand Recognition on Surfaces, Angewandte Chemie - International Edition 2017, 56, 9449-9453). This has been developed to create a new spin label using a three bond tether (Fielding, A.J.* et al., Applied Magnetic Resonance 2021) to be used to help understand conformational changes of proteins. Other expertise includes UV-vis stopped flow and rapid freeze-quench.
In all endeavours, we welcome collaborative partners both nationally and abroad. Phone calls always welcome.
Industrial EPR sample running is possible. LJMU has a Bruker EMX EPR instrument.
We work with several industrial companies concerning challenging analytical problems. We welcome enquiries.
We can be found on twitter: @Fielding_Group
PhD Students
Currently, seven students have gained their PhD under my supervision. All have gone on to careers in either academia or industry. New applications are always welcome.
Teaching
Analytical and physical chemistry. Topics include: NMR, EPR, AAS, ICP-OES, ICP-MS, IR, UV-vis, electrochemistry, Group Theory and transition metal spectroscopy.
