Introduction Click to copy section linkSection link copied! Magnesium is one of the most abundant cations in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, playing a pivotal role in stabilizing negatively charged nucleotides during enzymatic reactions. (1) The majority of these enzymatic reactions regulate metabolism with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and its lower energy counterpart, adenosine diphosphate (ADP).

Abstract Nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometry represents a powerful tool for extracting dynamic information. Yet, obtaining links to molecular motion is challenging for many ions that relax through the quadrupolar mechanism, which is mediated by electric field gradient fluctuations and lacks a detailed microscopic description.

Observation of memory effects associated with degradation of rechargeable lithium-ion cells using ultrafast surface-scan magnetic resonance imaging† Lithium-ion cells represent the most wide-spread power storage devices in portable electronics and electric vehicles. Cells can follow various degradation pathways that cause safety concerns associated with flammable components and high energy density.
