Figure 2.
Temperature and pH dependencies of H2, H3 H6 and H1 proton chemical shifts (δ2, δ3, δ6 and δ1) of TmDOTP5− are shown in (A), (B), (C) and (D), respectively, for an in vitro sample (4 mM TmDOTP5−, 1 mM Ca2+, 10% D2O). The 3D surfaces represent the result of the fits of chemical shift δ as function of temperature T and pH (eq. [1]). The differential and independent “storage” of temperature and pH information by each of these protons is reflected by the non-overlapping 3D surfaces, a fact which can be appreciated by the variable extent of the different color tones.
