| Abstract | Recent technical developments in this laboratory in the areas of pulsed Saturation Recovery Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (SR-EPR) and Saturation Recovery Electron-Electron Double Resonance (SR-ELDOR) have enabled experiments with these two techniques to be done with high sensitivity. We have studied the mechanisms of the relaxation rates of spin labels. The electron spin-lattice relaxation rate Tic ' and the nitrogen spinlattice relaxation rate (Tin") of per-deuterated N TEMPOL in glycerol-water solutions have been measured by SR-EPR and SR-ELDOR. The motional range covered is from a few picoseconds to hundreds of nanoseconds and the motion is characterized by simple Brownian dynamics. The dependence of T i e 1 upon the rotational correlation time is explained by a combination of spin rotation and electron -nuclear dipolar coupling mechanisms plus a proton spin diffusion process. Tin-1 is explained by the electron-nuclear dipolar mechanism and proton spin diffusion. |
