  1. 1. Zero-Field Splitting in Gd(III) complexes : Towards a molecular understanding of paramagnetic relaxation

    Author : Shehryar Khan; Michael Odelius; Arnold Maliniak; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Zero-Field Splitting; Relaxation; Quantum Chemistry; Molecular Dynamics; Gd III ; kemisk fysik; Chemical Physics;

    Abstract : The prime objectives of contrast agents in Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) is to accelerate the relaxation rate of the solvent water protons in the surrounding tissue. Paramagnetic relaxation originates from dipole-dipole interactions between the nuclear spins and the fluctuating magnetic field induced by unpaired electrons. READ MORE

    Abstract : An efficient transfer of energy in molecular systems has proven to be of fundamental importance both in nature and industrial applications. The ability of molecules to work together forming collective excitations, so-called excitons, plays a key role in for example the extraordinary fast energy transfer involved in the first steps of photosynthesis.

    Abstract : Knowledge of dynamics in protein is very important in the description of protein function and molecular recognition. The thesis investigates protein dynamics on time-scales from milli- to sub-nanosecond, with focus on the latter, using NMR spin relaxation experiments on two proteins, the 138-residue carbohydrate recognition domain of galectin-3 (Gal3C) and the 56-residue B1 domain of bacterial protein G (PGB1).

  4. 4. Probing Dynamics of Oligosaccharides by Interference Phenomena in NMR Relaxation

    Author : Leila Ghalebani; Jozef Kowalewski; Norbert Mueller; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NMR; sugars; oligosaccharides; carbon-13 relaxation; cross-correlated relaxation; molecular dynamics; internal motion; random jumps; PRE; paramagnetic relaxation; Chemistry; Kemi; fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry;

    Abstract : Oligosaccharides (carbohydrates) are a large class of biological molecules that are important as energy sources in the human body and have enormously varied biological functions. It is generally believed that biological activities of carbohydrates are related to their internal dynamics. READ MORE

  5. 5. Gas phase molecular relaxation probed by synchrotron radiation experiments

    Author : Jaume Rius i Riu; KTH; []
    Keywords : Molecular relaxation; synchrotron radiation; dispersed fluorescence; photoelectron spectroscopy; energy resolved electron ion coincidence technique;

    Abstract : This thesis presents experimental studies of gas phasemolecular relaxation after excitation with synchrotron photonsin the 15-35 eV and in the 70-350 eV regions.In the 15-35 eV region, molecular relaxation by neutraldissociation processes and nonFranck-Condon effects in N2 and O2 molecules have beenstudied by means of dispersed fluorescence and photoelectronspectroscopy experimental techniques, respectively.
