  • Title: Proton nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation measurements in frog muscle.
    Author: Finch ED, Homer LD.
    Journal: Biophys J; 1974 Dec; 14(12):907-21. PubMed ID: 4547668.
    Abstract:
    Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation measurements are reported for frog muscle as a function of temperature and Larmor frequency. Each T(1rho), T(2), and T(1) measurement covered a time domain sufficient to identify the average relaxation time for most intracellular water. Using regression analysis the data were fit with a model where intracellular water molecules are exchanging between a large compartment in which mobility is similar to ordinary water and a small compartment in which motion is restricted. The regression results suggest that: the restricted compartment exhibits a distribution of motions skewed toward that of free water; the residence time of water molecules in the restricted compartment is approximately 1 ms; and, the activation entropy for some water molecules in the restricted compartment is negative.
