Determination of the effective correlation time modulating 1H NMR relaxation processes of bound water in protein solutions

The relaxation in protein solutions has mainly been studied by nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion (NMRD) techniques. NMRD data have mostly been analyzed in terms of fast chemical exchange of water between free water and water bound to proteins. Several approaches were used for the estimation of correlation time modulating the relaxation mechanism of bound water. On the other hand, in a nuclear magnetic resonance experiment, the relaxation...
