Nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy resonance

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. 

TTie TOCSY 2D NMR experiment correlates all protons of a spin system, not just those directly connected via three chemical bonds. For the protein example, the alpha proton, Ft , and all the other protons are able to transfer magnetization to the beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon protons if they are connected by a continuous chain—that is, the continuous chain of protons in the side chains of the individual amino acids making up the protein. The COSY and TOCSY experiments are used to build so-called spin systems—that is, a list of resonances of the chemical shift of the peptide main chain proton, the alpha proton(s), and all other protons from each aa side chain. Which chemical shifts correspond to which nuclei in the spin system is determined by the conventional correlation spectroscopy connectivities and the fact that different types of protons have characteristic chemical shifts. To connect the different spin systems in a sequential order, the nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy...

Traditionally, homonuclear 2D double quantum filtered correlation spectroscopy (DQF-COSY) and total correlated spectroscopy (TOCSY) spectra are valuable in the identification of resonances of individual monosaccharide units. In the presence of small couplings, through space connectivities detected by NOESY/ROESY (nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy/ rotational nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy) experiments are also useful in completing the resonance assignment. When the H NMR spectra of complex oligosaccharides are too crowded to fully elucidate the structure by homonuclear correlation methods, it is efficient to use 2D heteronuclear correlation methods, such as heteronuclear single quantum correlation... 

Due to the great complexity of this class of molecules, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectroscopy (MS) are the tools most widely used to identify cucurbitacins. Both one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques have been employed for the structural elucidation of new compounds 2D NMR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, correlated spectroscopy (COSY), heteronuclear chemical shift correlation (HETCOR), attached proton test (APT), distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT), and nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) are common techniques for determining the proton and carbon chemical shifts, constants, connectivity, stereochemistry, and chirality of these compounds [1,38,45-47].

We have seen that the nuclear Overhauser effect can provide information about internuclear distances through analysis of enhancement patterns in the NMR spectrum before and after saturation of selected resonances. In nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) a map of all possible NOE interactions is obtained by again using a proper choice of radiofrequency pulses and Fourier transformation techniques. Like a COSY spectrum, a NOESY spectrum consists of a series of diagonal peaks that correspond to the onedimensional NMR spectrum of the sample. The off-diagonal peaks indicate which nuclei are close enough to each other to give rise to a nuclear Overhauser effect. NOESY data reveal internuclear distances up to about 0.5 nm.
