Short summary
This publication presents research in biomolecular NMR, spin hyperpolarisation and spin chemistry. Robert Kaptein made key contributions to magnetic resonance and proposed the radical pair mechanism for chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarisation (CIDNP). He developed laser CIDNP and computational methods for protein structure determination. He is known for studying the lac repressor and its DNA complexes. He played a leading role in establishing the NMR large-scale facilities in Europe.
