Fig. 6. Plots of the natural logarithm of the MbO2 Val E11 peak
intensity at 25°C as a function of b where
b=–
2G2
2(
–
/3).
The MbO2 signals reveal decreasing intensity with each stepwise
increase in gradient field strength applied along the x direction.
The natural logarithm plot of signal intensity as a function b yields
a linear relationship with a regression coefficient of
r2>0.99. Given the linear equation, the analysis has
determined the Mb translational diffusion coefficient of
4.5±1.4x10–7 cm2 s–1
at 25°C.
