Abstract
Relatively mobile protons that do not exchange with D2O exist in barnacle muscle cells. These are not part of the nonfreezing "bound water" that does exchange. Ninety-seven percent of the muscle water exhibits a single transverse relaxation time of 35 milliseconds: one water molecule per thousand, which is briefly and irrotationally bound, will produce the observed relaxation properties.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
