Redfield Theory (or BWRT)
Relaxation rate theory began with Bloch and Wangness, and was amplified by Alfred Redfield to be a complete theory for the effects of dynamics and stochastic processes on spins in condensed matter. Relaxation theory is often called BWRT (Bloch Wangness and Redfield Theory).
BWRT Predicts Spin-Lattice (R1) and Spin-Spin (R2) relaxation rates.
Relaxation Rates are related to Relaxation times:

What Redfield Theory (BWRT) Uses
• There is a system Hamiltonian • BWRT requires a bilinear operator, which couples
the spin system (S) to the lattice (or bath), F – The Hamiltonian is:
• F is the fluctuating variable that causes the spins to have a fluctuating environment
• The fluctuation of the lattice, coupled to the spin system, then causes the spins to relax or dissipate the absorbed (microwave or r.f.) energy, non-radiatively.

A problem: R2 diverges
The coupling Hamiltonian (e.n.d.) is:
The orientation variable, , is a stochastic function of time.
The correlation function (at high temperature) is:
This shows the statistical origin of the rotational correlation time. Exponential decay of the correlation function with time is typical of such functions.

R1 does not diverge
• R1 for the electron and R1 for the nitrogen nucleus in a nitroxide spin label as a function of rotational correlation times can be computed from BWRT.
• If R2 diverges for correlation times longer than a few nanoseconds how can we rely on the theory to give us R1 values out to milliseconds and beyond?
• The Problem: Why does the theory fail for R2
rates but not for R1 rates?
• It is important to understand why R1 works and to understand why R2 fails.

Mechanisms of R1
• Sum the rates from statistically independent processes– Spin-Rotation, rate goes as – Electron-Nuclear Dipolar Coupling
• Electron rate peaks at the spectrometer frequency
• Nuclear rate Peaks at coupling
– Oxygen relaxation (used later)– Empirical “Spin-Diffusion” process
• Just a catch-all effect, goes at
• Partially due to spins local to the nitroxide

BWRT gives only the fast motion limit, which predicts that the rate goes to infinity as the correlation time goes to infinity. The new theory avoids this and correctly predicts coherent oscillations of (at frequency ) as the interaction becomes coherent, in the no motion limit.

Same Data Different Model
• Improving the model to include anisotropic dynamics.
• For simplicity the anisotropy ratio was kept constant.
• Improved agreement indicates the need to improve the model, and the frequency dependence of the relaxation rates can rule-out some incorrect models.

sPLA2 Conclusions
• sPLA2 causes the vesicles to aggregate.
Explains much other data and misconceptions about the kinetics and processive nature of sPLA2 action.
• sPLA2 was oriented on micelles (instead) using spin-lattice relaxation rates alone.
Orientation different from that of another model.
• Hydrophobic residues are the main points of contact.
• Charges provide a general, non-specific
attraction.•Substrate binding site identified by orientation on the mixed micelles

The WALP Proteins
WALP proteins are single alpha helical membrane-spanning proteins.
The sequence is 23 residues long:
HCO-NH-G-WW-L-(AL)8-WW-A-CO-NH2
Leucine and Alanine are both hydrophobic. In a membrane this forms a single turn alpha helix.
The membrane, di-oleic (DO) PC, is about 28-30 Ang thick. The two outer Tryptophans (W) are about 30 Angs apart. The membrane will stretch (or shrink) to accommodate the protein.

Conclusions
• The gradient of the oxygen transport parameter, measured on WALP 23, is ideal as a ruler for determination of spin label position in membranes.
• The spin-lattice and spin-spin relaxation rates show dependence on local mobility of the spin label in the bi-layer.
• The oxygen transport parameter cannot be separated into its two
components: the oxygen concentration and transport-dependent coefficient.
• The ratio parameter, designed to cancel out transport effects, provides a profile of relative relaxant concentration.
• Ratio parameter can be used to position nitroxide in the membrane.
