Abstract

T is an NMR relaxation mode that is sensitive to low frequency molecular motions, making it an especially valuable tool in biomolecular research. Here, we introduce a new method, SPICY, for measuring T relaxation times. In contrast to conventional T experiments, in which the sequence is repeated many times to determine the T time, the SPICY sequence allows determination of T within a single scan, shortening the experiment time remarkably. We demonstrate the method using ¹H T relaxation dispersion experiments. Additionally, we combine the sequence with spatial encoding to produce 1D images in a single scan. We show that T relaxation times obtained using the single scan approach are in good agreement with those obtained using the traditional experiments.
