Some biophysical applications of motional contrast in n.m.r. microscopy.

Abstract:

:The principal advantage of the n.m.r. imaging method lies in the specific contrasts which are available. In this work we describe the use of velocity and diffusion contrast methods in biophysical applications and at microscopic spatial resolution. In the first example, involving water-protein interactions, the relationship between water self-diffusion and water concentration, as measured using pulsed gradient spin echo n.m.r., is shown. It is demonstrated that this relationship can be used to provide a water concentration image. The result is compared with the conventional proton density and transverse relaxation maps. The next example concerns the use of dynamic n.m.r. microscopy to obtain water diffusion and velocity maps for wheat grain in vivo. Finally we suggest how the method may be used in the study of polymer-water interactions in an unusual adjunct to conventional polymer self-diffusion studies.
