Water‐macromolecules and ligand‐macromolecules interactions were investigated considering the effects induced by the presence of a macromolecule on both the water and the ligand NMR selective ( R 1 SE ) and non‐selective ( R 1 NS ) spin‐lattice relaxation rates. The results obtained from the solvent studies were used to describe the solvent dynamics at the macromolecule‐solvent interface. On the other hand, ligand R 1 SE and ( R 1 NS ) analysis allowed the definition of the “affinity index”, [ A ] L T , an index related to the extent of the macromolecule‐ligand recognition process.
