Bulk water, R-peak T1 (ms) T2 (ms) A-ratio
a. oxygenated state 562 141 3.99
b. oxidized state 217 120 1.81
c. deoxygenated state 463 102 4.53
Hydration layer, S-peak T1 (ms) T2 (ms) A-ratio
a. oxygenated state 335 4.47 74.94
b. oxidized state 120 4.18 28.71
c. deoxygenated state 242 2.71 89.30
Direct bound macromolecules, T-peak T1 (ms) T2 (ms) A-ratio
