Distance Measurements in Biological Systems by EPR pp 347–381Cite as

Determination of Distances Based on T1 and Tm Effects

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Biological Magnetic Resonance ((BIMR,volume 19))

Abstract

The distance between a rapidly-relaxing paramagnetic center and a slowly-relaxing center can be determined from the effect of the rapidly-relaxing center on the spin-lattice relaxation and on the spin echo dephasing of the slowly-relaxing center. The principles underlying these measurements are discussed and examples are given for high-spin and low-spin Fe(III).
