Abstract
This chapter discusses the nuclear spin relaxation studied in organic systems. The chapter deals with binary liquid mixtures; an important group of such mixtures contains water as one of the components and an important problem addressed in many papers is the effect of the second component on the molecular dynamics of water. Relaxation of nuclei residing in organic solutes in aqueous or other isotropic solution is discussed in the chapter. The chapter presents the physico-chemical aspects, as opposed to the biochemical aspects, of the nuclear spin relaxation. The relaxation of nuclei residing in water molecules and in monoatomic ions (counterions to the charged macromolecules/aggregates or added salt) in aqueous solutions of macromolecules and aggregates, such as micelles, is also discussed in this chapter. The chapter elaborates the relaxation of nuclei resident in the aggregates and macromolecules. The discussion is limited to the macroscopically homogeneous, isotropic, and liquid solutions. Work on synthetic polymers is presented and studies on proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides are discussed in the chapter.
