This study demonstrates a correlation of protein size with sodium triple-quantum (TQ) signal. The TQ/SQ ratio of several globular proteins increased with protein size. Furthermore, strong sodium binding had a substantial impact on the TQ signal. The small protein α-Lactalbumin yielded a strong TQ signal due to strong sodium binding to a calcium binding site using a calcium-depleted protein.
