The SR measurements of oxidized form of cytochrome c of horse heart were carried out at RIKEN-RAL and at J-PARC MUSE. Cytochrome c is one of the members of respiratory chain in mitochondria. The muon spin time relaxation spectra of the samples wetted with H 2 O and D 2 O, whose water contents were approximately 20 wt.%, were fitted using Risch-Kehr (R-K) function. The longitudinal relaxation parameter () showed an inverse dependence on B ext , in the region from 1000 to 3950 G at room temperature and the region from 200 to 3950 G below 200 K, and it was suggested by the R-K theory that muon spin relaxation due to the one-dimensional electron movement would be dominant below 200 K. The difference in the spectra of the samples wetted with H 2 O and D 2 O was small and it was concluded that muon stopped on cytochrome c and we monitored the behaviors of the electron brought in by + in cytochrome c through the relaxation process of the + .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
