An NMR method for determining carbon spin-lattice relaxation rates under three different proton perturbation conditions is proposed. Thymidine is investigated as a model system. Dynamical and structural information is obtained by comparison of the carbon-13 relaxation rates obtained under broad-band

β¦ Synopsis
A murine anti-human melanoma monoclonal antibody fragment was labeled with gadolinium and its proton relaxation efficiency compared to controls at frequencies ranging from 2 to 300 MHz. Relaxation time variations were about 30-40% in 10-15 microM solutions. The labeled fragment showed proton relaxation enhancement relative to free gadolinium, while preserving its immunoreactivity. A tentative labeling of a melanoma pellet by means of the fragment, just at the borderline of a minimum expected T1 variation, gave no detectable difference.

On binding of gadolinium ions to the terminal carboxyl group of a peptide, the spin-lattice relaxation times of the WC protons are reduced sequentially from the C terminus, thus allowing the sequence determination of submilligram amounts of peptides.
