Microscopic theory of spin-spin and spin-lattice relaxation of bound protons in cellular and myelin membranes-A lateral diffusion model (LDM).

LDM-derived analytical equations connect the membrane-bound protons T<sub>1</sub> and T<sub>2</sub> relaxation with dynamic distances between protons in neighboring membrane-forming lipid molecules and their lateral diffusion. This sheds new light on relationships between MT parameters and microstructure of cellular and myelin membranes.
