Relaxation dispersion

Relaxation dispersion is a technique used in magnetic resonance studies to investigate how molecules behave in varying environments. It involves measuring how the internal magnetic signals of atoms within a molecule change when the conditions, such as magnetic field strength, are slightly altered at specific times. These changes provide insights into the dynamics and motions of molecules, including how they fold, unfold, or interact with their surroundings. By analyzing relaxation dispersion data, scientists can better understand processes like protein flexibility and molecular interactions, which are crucial for insights into biological functions and material properties.
