## Abstract ^31^P MRS examinations of the calf muscles of 12 healthy volunteers were performed to determine __T__~2~ of the coupled ATP signals by using the 90°–TE/2–2662‐TE/2‐acq selective spin‐echo sequence for elimination of phase and intensity distortions. The __T__~2~ relaxation times obtained

## Abstract T~2~ measurements of ^31^P NMR signals of ATP using the Hahn 90°–180° spin‐echo sequence imply difficulties whenever the 180° pulse angle is not completely perfect. The reason for this finding is the crucial influence of the __J__ ‐couplings of the ATP signals which result in intensity
A new method is presented for the direct measurement of the amount of ADP in the presence of ATP by selectively eliminating the alpha- and gamma-ATP signals. The method is compared with other methods, both experimentally and theoretically, using the product-operator formalism. An analysis of the eff
Transverse relaxation times in the rotating frame of quadrupolar nuclei with half-integer spins are inversely proportional to the linewidth of quadrupole nutation NMR spectra. We apply fictitious spin -l/2 operators to I = 3/2 nuclei to derive correlations between the transitions of a multi-level sy
