Transverse relaxation times T2 of water protons were measured in 5% protein solutions and soaked rat liver in different static magnetic fields (0.15 to 11 T). Protein molecular weight varied between 1.4 and 480 kDa in solutions of varying degrees of deuteration. The data obtained are analyzed in terms of a model system consisting of three phases of different relaxation characteristics: protein protons, hydration layer water protons, and bulk water protons. The contributions to relaxation due to hydrodynamic effects on water protons, cross relaxation between the hydration layer water protons and the protein protons, and chemical exchange between the hydration layer water protons and the bulk water protons are separately estimated. The experimental results indicate that the "hydrodynamic interactions" are about the same magnitude in rat liver and all the proteins studied, but the contribution of the cross relaxation differs by several orders in different proteins systems. Fast chemical exchange between the hydration layer water and the bulk water causes considerable shortening of T2 at high magnetic fields for all protein solutions and rat tissue studied. Selected samples were studied at different temperatures (213-318 K0 and with different intervals in the CPMG sequence. The rates of chemical exchange and fractional populations of different phases are determined, and the results obtained provide support for the model in which fast exchange among the different water phases is an important feature of the overall relaxation behavior.
