Site-directed spin labelling (SDSL) combined with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is an efficient method to study the structure and the conformational dynamics of proteins. In particular, long range distance measurements (up to B100 Å) between pairs of spin labels by pulse EPR methods enable quantitative analysis of conformational equilibrium dynamics and allow identification and characterization of conformational changes in the course of a proteins function. This review summarizes contributions SDSL EPR made to understanding of how the structure and dynamics of a specific group of GTP-hydrolyzing proteins, G proteins activated by nucleotidedependent dimerization (GADs), change during their functional cycle.
