The effect of age-dependent Mn(II)-gradients, as observed by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), on the [1H]NMR spin-spin relaxation time (T2) was studied in wheat leaves. A non-exponential T2 spin-echo decay was always observed, revealing the presence of at least two different fractions of non- (or slowly) exchanging water in the leaves. No effect of the Mn(II)-concentration on T2 of the separate water fractions (covering approximately 90% of the total water content) has been found. From these observations we conclude that Mn(II) is present in bound form. The dependence of T2 on water content can be explained with a two-state model, demonstrating the occurrence of fast exchange within each of the two slowly exchanging water fractions.
通过电子顺磁共振(EPR)观察到的年龄依赖性锰(II)梯度对小麦叶片中[1H]核磁共振自旋-自旋弛豫时间(T2)的影响进行了研究。总是观察到非指数型T2自旋回波衰减,这表明叶片中存在至少两种不同比例的非(或缓慢)交换水。未发现锰(II)浓度对单独水组分(占总含水量约90%)的T2有影响。从这些观察结果我们得出结论,锰(II)以结合形式存在。T2对含水量的依赖性可以用双态模型来解释,这表明在两个缓慢交换水组分中的每一个内部都发生了快速交换。
