A set of coupled differential equations is presented describing the evolution of magnetization due to an exchange reaction whereby a pair of identical monomers form an asymmetric dimer. In their most general form the equations describe a three-site exchange process that reduces to two-site exchange under certain limiting conditions that are discussed. An application to the study of sparsely populated, transiently formed sets of aberrant dimers, symmetric and asymmetric, of superoxide dismutase is presented. Fits of concentration dependent CPMG relaxation dispersion profiles provide measures of the dimer dissociation constants and both on- and off-rates. Dissociation constants on the order of 70 mM are extracted from fits of the data, with dimeric populations of ∼2% and lifetimes of ∼6 and ∼2 ms for the symmetric and asymmetric complexes, respectively. This work emphasizes the important role that NMR relaxation experiments can play in characterizing very weak molecular complexes that remain invisible to most biophysical approaches.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
