In the extreme narrowing limit where co2tc2 «1 (ie, for small molecules having tc» 10~ n sec),/i (S)= 0.5, which corresponds to a maximum enhancement of 50%. For large molecules, such as globular proteins, the correlation times are likely to be long and/i (S) approaches the limit—1, ie, disappearance of the signal.Hoffman and Forsen9 have shown that the Bloch equations modified by McConnell10 for chemical exchange and the equations derived by Solomon8 for a pair of mutually relaxing spins are analogous. They pointed out that for scalar interactions W0> W2, and the coupling between the magnetizations of the two spins would have the same sign in the case of both chemical exchange and mutual relaxation. It has been shown here that W0> W2 even in the case of a dipolar interaction provided the correlation time modulating the coupling is sufficiently long. In a chemically ex-changing system saturation of the nucleus at one site results in a saturation of the signalat the second site provided3 the exchangerate k> l/. In a mutually relaxing spinsystem, characterized by long motional correlation times, there is a transfer of spin saturation by the “flip-flop” mechanism, which can be viewed as analogous to a chemical transfer. The model presented here is qualitative and a cautionary note must be sounded regarding the use of a simple twospin system to approximate complex multispin systems and the consequent neglect of cross correlation effects. Additional experiments supporting this interpreta-tion have been performed. Negative intramolecular NOE’s on the aromatic resonances of insulin and
