Abstract
Proton nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation measurements were made over the range 4.7--220 MHz for aqueous solutions of hog kidney diamine oxidase. The values of 1/T1 give rise in two distinct dispersions, at 16 and 75 MHz, whereas 1/T2 displays a minimum at 20 MHz. The temperature dependence of relaxation rates in all cases yield apparent activation energies less than 0.6 kcal/mol. These data indicate to us that the two Cu(II) ions of diamine oxidase are intrinsically different in terms of their electronic relaxation characteristics and hence, chemical environments. Low field limits of the two electronic relaxation times are 2 and 10 ns, with one of these correlation times being frequency dependent. The value of the frequency-dependent electronic relaxation time is governed by interactions that are modulated by a process having a correlation time of 5 ps.
