Not to be confused with Alfred C. Redfield.

Alfred G. Redfield (March 11, 1929 – July 24, 2019) was an American physicist and biochemist. In 1955 he published the Redfield relaxation theory, effectively moving the practice of NMR or Nuclear magnetic resonance from the realm of classical physics to the realm of semiclassical physics.[2] He continued to find novel magnetic resonance applications to solve real-world problems throughout his life.

Redfield earned degrees at Harvard College (BA 1950, Master's 1952) and University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (Ph.D. 1953). As a post-doc he worked with Nicolaas Bloembergen at Harvard, where he first published the Redfield relaxation theory. IBM Watson Scientific Computing Laboratory hired him in 1955 and he taught at Columbia.While there he published his most important work, the Redfield Relaxation Equation.

In 1971 he published experiments that helped to draw the veil of H2O molecules away from hitherto invisible atoms in large, biological molecules.[3] He continued to innovate specific NMR techniques to view the molecular structure of nucleic acids and enzymes. Beginning in 1996 the NMR Field Cycling community began to realize that slow NMR had an advantage over X-ray crystallography for observing large, biological molecule(macromolecule) dynamics,[4] which can't be captured by high energy NMR or crystallography. In 1996 he released an article exploring field cycling as a way to study macromolecules in more detail.[5][6][7][8] He published his first article using the phosphorus isotope 31P to probe phospholipids in 2004.[9]

He became a fellow of the American Physical Society in 1959 was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1979, and named a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS) in 1983. Redfield received the Max Delbruck Prize from the American Physical Society in 2006.[1] In 2007 he was recognized with the Russell Varian Prize for contributing the Redfield Relaxation Theory to the field of nuclear magnetic resonance.[10][11]

Redfield is descended from a family of pioneering scientists, including his father, Alfred C. Redfield, his second great-grandfather, William Charles Redfield, and his great-grandfather, the naturalist John Howard Redfield.

Career and research

edit

Early work on NMR resonance saturation in solids and Redfield relaxation theory

edit

Earliest research

edit

Charles P. Slichter wrote that "In 1955, Redfield showed that the conventional theory of saturation did not properly account for the experimental facts of nuclear resonance in solids...[Redfield] showed that the conventional approach essentially defied the second law of thermodynamics.[12]"[13]

Redfield studied NMR with Charles Pence Slichter, assisting with early super conductivity experiments at University of Illinois,[14] Urbana and published the Redfield Theory as a postdoc under Nicolaas Bloembergen at Harvard.[15] At first he studied electron removal in argon, hydrogen and crypton, and the movement of electrons in photo conductors, including his doctoral thesis on the hall effect in diamonds and salt crystals.[16]

After his breakthrough work on relaxation theory, he continued to produce papers on nuclear spin relaxation.[17]

Discovery of the Redfield relaxation theory and equation

edit

Redfield's original article published in the IBM Journal in 1957, and then in the first issue of Advanced Magnetic Resonance in 1965, "The Theory of Relaxation Processes" explained observations that molecules excited with RF in a magnetic field did not relax as expected in terms of classical thermodynamics, but could be explained in terms of quantum physics, yielding a semi-classic explanation of nuclear spin in metals. The theory continues to be useful not only in NMR, but in optics and computational quantum mechanics as well.

The theory streamlined analysis of atomic relationships and explained observations that NMR scientists had not fully theorized. The theory helped explain spin temperature, rotating frame, nuclear spin relaxation, and predicted adiabatic demagnetization and remagnetization in a spin-locked state, and short correlation time.

General spectroscopy

edit

Redfield's interests included discovering techniques to advance the practice of NMR for the purpose of nuclear induction spectroscopy, super conducting magnets, current regulator for inductive loads, practical demonstration and proof of theory, nuclear spin thermodynamics, rare spins in solids, two dimensional NMR efficiencies, computing and data processing, isotope labeling, nuclear Overhauser effect, proteins and their macromolecules in solution, phospholipid approaches. He devised a field cycling device to rapidly move a sample in and out of field that became a precursor to modern fast field cycling instrumentation.

Solid state work

edit

Redfield's NMR career began with work on solids, like metals and superconductors. This work later proved to be useful in the study of the physical and motional relationships between protons in large biological molecules, called macromolecules.

Aqueous state and biochemical work

edit

In 1972, along with Raj V. Gupta, Redfield found a way to cancel out the overwhelming signature spectrum of H2O in biological samples, which allowed the visualization of molecular biological structure in blood cells, nucleic acids, enzymes and phospholipids.[18] [19] He continued to pioneer aqueous techniques using deuterium.[20]

General biochemical work

edit

Redfield continued to develop new techniques to study the structure of protein molecules in solution,[21][22] looking at cancer cells with NMR,[23] the shell of the SARS virus cell[24][25] and at amino acids.[26] Later, using multiple resonances via shuttle and specially prepared samples, he investigated molecular activity in phospholipid vesicles.[27][28][29][30]

Nucleic acids work

edit

Redfield explored the structure and properties of tRNA[31] and related enzymes.

Enzymology and phospholipid membrane work

edit

Redfield explored the function and properties of cell walls.[32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47]

Shuttle invention

edit

In 2003, Redfield developed a shuttle to move a sample in and out of field rapidly. It was the first to be used on a standard high-field NMR spectrometer.[48]

Biography

edit

"Alfred Redfield was one of the giants of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), in terms of both his contributions to fundamental science and the practical application of magnetic resonance to real world problems. As a teenager during World War II, he learned circuitry and electronics that he would later apply to building his own NMR spectrometers. However, his genius was not limited to NMR; Redfield relaxation theory has been applied to statistical mechanical and spectroscopic systems throughout the physical sciences. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1979 and named a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS) in 1983. Redfield received the Max Delbrück Prize from the American Physical Society in 2006."[1]

Device to rapidly shuttle a sample in and out of field.
  • In 1972 Redfield joined Brandeis University with a joint appointment in physics and biochemistry.
  • Designed his own spectrometer and apparatus that was the first to specifically target biological systems.
  • The apparatus was similar in design to later commercial units, but because it was housed on shelves it was easy to change out components and calibrate in many ways.
  • The processing software and pulse sequences were original.
  • Pulse sequence was selected by a switch
  • Pulse lengths adjusted with an analog pot for S/N and selective pulse water suppression.
  • He had one physics postdoc and one chemistry or biochemistry postdoc in his lab.
  • National Academy of Sciences member in 1979
