โฆ Synopsis
Xe-NMR longitudinal relaxation rates have been measured by the inversion recovery 131 method for xenon in presence of lecithin vesicles or a small protein charybdotoxin. The transverse relaxation rates in the same spectra have been obtained by spectral deconvolution. The results show that xenon in lecithin vesicles is in a rapid exchange between free and bound sites and that averaging of the electric-field gradient at the Xe nucleus is a two-step process. From these results, estimates have been obtained for the parameters entering the I3'Xe quadrupolar interaction.
