ABSTRACT

The technique of perturbed angular correlations (P.A.C.) was used to study transferrin labeled with radioactive indium. Three forms of the labeled system were studied: a) the In-111 was bound to transferrin with no iron present at either of the binding sites; b) the In-111 probe was used to label transferrin that was 33% saturated with iron; and c) the label was attached to saturated Fe-transferrin. The measured perturbation factors, G₂₂(t), indicate that the three binding states are clearly differentiated. Cases (a) and (b) exhibit characteristic features of time-independent quadrupole interactions, and the average quadrupole interaction frequencies, _q, were determined in these cases.
