The relaxation behavior of intracellular 23Na in suspensions of chicken erythrocytes and of their nuclei was investigated. The transverse magnetization was found to decay biexponentially. The average relaxation rates for the nucleated chicken erythrocytes are considerably shorter than the average relaxation rates obtained for dog and human nonnucleated red blood cells. Of particular significance is the twofold decrease in the short component of T2. Calculations based on the measured 23Na NMR relaxation rates in suspensions of nuclei indicate that most of the difference between the relaxation rates in the mammalian as compared to the chicken erythrocytes, can be accounted for by the contribution of the nuclei in the latter.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
