摘要:
A method for obtaining a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) correlation spectrum of heteronuclear spin systems, in particular comprising large molecules, especially biological macromolecules in solution, the spin system being subjected to a homogeneous magnetic field B.sub.0, being irradiated by a sequence of radio frequency (rf) pulses, is characterized in that the spin system comprises at least two kinds of spin 1/2 nuclei I and S being coupled to each other, whereby the sequence of rf pulses is chosen such that line broadening in the observed spectrum due to transverse relaxation (T.sub.2) is significantly reduced because of cross correlation between dipole--dipole (DD) coupling of the spins and chemical shift anisotropy (CSA), giving rise to different relaxation rates of the individual multiplet components of the spin system and chosen such that the relaxation effects of the two different mechanisms cancel each other out to a large degree. Thus, even very large biological macromolecules can be measured.
摘要:
A method of projection spectroscopy for N-dimensional NMR experiments with the following steps. Data recording comprising: a) selection of N-dimensional NMR experiments out of a group of N-dimensional experiments, selection of the dimensionalities (Di) of the projections and unconstrained selection of j sets of projection angles, with j≧2; b) recording of discrete sets of j projections from the N-dimensional NMR experiments at the selected projection angles; c) peak picking and creating a peak list for each of the j projection spectra is characterized by d) automated identification of peaks in the projection spectra that arise from the same resonance in the N-dimensional spectrum (N≧3) using vector algebra to exploit geometrical properties of projections in the N-dimensional space, and computation of a N-dimensional peak list using vector algebra to exploit geometrical properties of projections in the N-dimensional space. A reliable method of automated projection spectroscopy without restrictions on projection angles and dimensionality is thereby realized.

In recording two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectra, J cross peaks which hinder the interpretation of the spectragram and mask cross peaks of incoherent exchange processes or transfers are eliminated by one of two methods. In the first method, for each repetition of a measurement with an evolution period t.sub.1 between the first and second of two successive 90 degree pulses, the interval between the second and third 90 degree pulse (mixing time t.sub.m) is varied systematically in proportion to the evolution period. The two-dimensional spectra obtained is subjected to triangular multiplication or symmetrization so that all peaks which do not possess counterparts at the mirror symmetry positions of the main diagonal are eliminated. In the second method, the mixing time is kept constant and a 180 degree pulse is inserted between the second and third 90 degree pulse with a varying interval t.sub.p between the 180 degree pulse and the second 90 degree pulse for each repetition of a measurement. A spectrometer for carrying out this method permits critical parameters to be adjusted.
