13C-nmr measurements are reported for samples of poly (L-lysine) both static and spinning at the magic angle in the beta-sheet form as a function of water content. The addition of water decreases the side-chain line widths considerably. Measurements of the cross-polarization time constants indicate that hydration by either H2O or D2O increases the time constant. Measurements of spin-lattice relaxation times in the laboratory frame and the rotating frame indicate that hydration does not change the dynamics of the backbone carbon atoms in the beta-sheet structure appreciably, but the side-chain atoms experience considerable increase in local mobility with increasing hydration. Deuteration of the exchangeable protons or the water has only small effects on the carbon relaxation times, indicating that relaxation is driven by intramolecular dipole-dipole interactions.
