The quantitative evaluation of brain hemodynamics and metabolism, particularly the
relationship between brain function and oxygen utilization, is important for the …

Publisher Summary This chapter is concerned with polarized absorption and linear
dichroism spectroscopy of hemoglobin. Polarized absorption and linear dichroism are …

Accurate knowledge of the magnetic properties of human blood is required for the precise
modeling of functional and vascular flow‐related MRI. Herein are reported determinations of …

0009-2665/94/0794-0659 $14.00/0 fascination for molecular scientists. Our present un-
derstanding of how hemoglobin works has arisen from a notable interplay of studies on both …

We present a novel NMR imaging technique that allows absolute determination of the
magnetic susceptibility constant, χ, of a solution. By comparing the phase difference of MR …

The existence of unpaired electrons in the four heme groups of deoxy and methemoglobin
(metHb) gives these species paramagnetic properties as contrasted to the diamagnetic …

The nature of the Fe− O2 bonding in oxy-myoglobin was probed by theoretical
calculations:(a) QM/MM (hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical) calculations …

Two articles published by Pauling and Coryell in PNAS nearly 80 years ago described in
detail the magnetic properties of oxy-and deoxyhemoglobin, as well as those of closely …

During intra-erythrocytic development, malaria trophozoites digest hemoglobin, which leads
to parasite growth and asexual replication while accumulating toxic heme. To avoid death …

An integrative model is proposed to describe the dependence of the transverse relaxation
rate of blood water protons (R2blood= 1/T2blood) on hematocrit fraction and oxygenation …
