Abstract
TDPAC measurements of the 150–247 keV gamma-ray cascade in111Cd have been performed at room temperature on Calmodulin (CaM) and Parvalbumin (Pa) labelled with radioactive111mCd. The anisotropy of the coincidence counting rate shows a time-dependent behaviour, typical of two different nuclear quadrupole interactions (NQI) in CaM. The NQI parameters indicate the presence of two distinct metal-binding sites, presenting non-equivalent local electric charge structure. In Pa samples, only one NQI is observed and the measured electric field gradient (EFG) value agrees well with the large one obtained in CaM.
