In this paper, the equations for the relaxation time of a nuclear spin in a molecule undergoing diffusion reorientation have been extended to include fully anisotropic reorientations for a number of relaxation mechanisms.
Abstract
The equations for the relaxation time of a nuclear spin in a molecule undergoing diffusion reorientation have been extended to include fully anisotropic reorientation for a number of relaxation mechanisms. The full rotational diffusion tensor—both principal diffusion constants and orientation of the principal rotation axes—can be found by the measurement of the NMR relation times of an appropriate set of nuclei in the molecule.

Backbone dynamics of calmodulin studied by 15N relaxation using inverse detected two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy: the central helix is flexible.

TL;DR: The backbone dynamics of Ca(2+)-saturated recombinant Drosophila calmodulin has been studied by 15N longitudinal and transverse relaxation experiments, combined with 15N(1H) NOE measurements, showing a high degree of mobility near the middle of the central helix and anisotropy observed in the motion of the two globular cal modulin domains is much smaller than expected.

Time-dependent fluorescence depolarization and Brownian rotational diffusion coefficients of macromolecules

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived relations between the time-dependent fluorescence polarization anistropy and the Brownian rotational diffusion coefficients of macromolecules using a distribution function formalism.

Rotational brownian motion and fluorescence intensify fluctuations

TL;DR: In this paper, a theory connecting rotational brownian motion with intensity fluctuations of the light emitted from fluorescent molecules excited by linearly polarized light is given, which does not depend on the close relationship between fluorescence lifetime and rotational relaxation times, which makes an enlarged time range available for fluorescence spectroscopy.

Dipolar relaxation and nuclear Overhauser effects in nonrigid molecules: The effect of fluctuating internuclear distances

TL;DR: In this article, a simple treatment of dipolar contribution to nuclear magnetic relaxation is developed for molecules in which conformational fluctuations modulate the relevant internuclear distances, and approximate results for cross-correlation spectral densities are obtained for complex spin systems, e.g., An1Mn2Xn3....

Relaxation Effects in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Absorption

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the effect of the thermal motion of the magnetic nuclei upon the spin-spin interaction in a rigid lattice and the line width of the absorption line.
