Nuclear Overhauser effect NOESY

For large molecules, such as proteins, the main method in use is a 2D technique, called NOESY (nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy). The basic experiment [33, 34] consists of tluee 90° pulses. The first pulse converts die longitudinal magnetizations for all protons, present at equilibrium, into transverse magnetizations which evolve diirhig the subsequent evolution time In this way, the transverse magnetization components for different protons become labelled by their resonance frequencies. The second 90° pulse rotates the magnetizations to the -z-direction.

In Chapter 3 (Section 3.16), there is a description of the nuclear Overhauser effect difference experiment, an experiment that provides information about H— H through-space proximity. Review of this section is helpful before proceeding here. The ROESY experiment, rotating-frame Overhauser effect spectroscopy, is a useful 2-D analogue of the nuclear Overhauser effect difference experiment. This experiment is useful for molecules of all sizes whereas the related experiment, NOESY (nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy), is not very useful with small molecules. NOESY is used primarily with biological macromolecules. Both NOESY and ROESY experiments correlate protons that are close to each other in space, typically 4.5 A or less. 

Other 2D experiments allow proton spectra on one axis to be correlated with carbon spectra on the other axis. NOESY (nuclear Overhauser effect ectroscopy) experiments give cross peaks for protons that are near to each other in space but not spin coupled to each other. 

Many other pulse-sequence techniques besides COSY can be used to produce multidimensional NMR spectra. It will suffice here to simply list the acronyms of some of the better known methods EXSY (exchange spectroscopy), NOESY (nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy), TOCS Y (total correlation spectroscopy), ROESY (rotational nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy). The nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) refers to a change in intensity of one NMR peak when another peak is irradiated.

In the above, we have seen that a certain interpolymer interaction is required for different polymers to be miscible. Here, we will see that high resolution NMR enables us to locate interacting regions in component polymers. One of the most useful methods is the nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) between H— H and H—NOE can be observed between spins whose distances are less than about 0.5 nm. The one- (ID) and two-dimensional (2D) NOE experiments have been used to reveal the spatial structure of biomolecules in solutions. Of course, these can be applied to locate interacting regions in a blend in solution and in solids [3]. For example, Crowther et al. [22] and Mirau et al. [23] applied NOE experiments to polystyrene/poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PS/PVME) in a toluene solution, and show that the interpolymer NOE signals between the aromatic protons of PS and the methoxy protons of PVME can be observed at polymer concentrations higher than 25 wt%. In the solid state, Heffner and Mirau [24] measured 2D H— H NOESY (NOESY nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy) spectra of 1,2-polybutadi-ene and polyisoprene (1,2-PB/PI) and observed NOE cross-peaks between these component polymers. White and Mirau observed interpolymer NOE interactions between the H spins of PVME and the spins of deuterated... 

The NOESY (Nuclear Overhauser Effect SpectrocopY) spectrum is recorded using the same basic sequence. The only difference is that during the mixing time the cross-relaxation is responsible for the exchange of magnetization between different spins. Thus, a cross-peak indicates that two spins are experiencing mutual cross-relaxation and hence are close in space.
