The purpose of devising and validating models for intramolecular motions for FMOC amino acids is to quantify side chain motion in proteins which plays an important role in understanding biological structure function relations of proteins. In this thesis, spin lattice relaxation times (Ti) of FMOC amino acids were m easured under both static and magic angle spinning (MAS) condition at variable tem peratures. Lower activation energies of the relaxation times than the normal amino acids observed indicate a less sterically crowded environment for the rotation methyl group. A three-site jump model for the methyl group w as developed to fit …
