NOESY-gpphpp

Parameter Set
NOESYGP Pulse Sequence noesygpphpp
Experiment Description 
    • Phase sensitive 2D homonuclear NOE experiment using gradient pulses for selection and purge pulses
    • Correlates chemical shifts of spins that have a mutual J-coupling that are 2 to 4 bonds apart.
    • Gradients eliminates the need for phase cycling and helps reduce T1 noise and other artifacts

Experiment Setup
    • Use getprosol or prosol button to read in proper pulse parameters
    • Set d8 is the mixing time; must be long enough for NOE build up:
      • Small molecules: d8 = T1
      • Large molecules: d8 = 0.5 T1
      • Default d8 = 300 ms
Processing Notes 
    • Fourier transform with the command xfb
    • Manually phase F2 and F1 dimensions
    • Use commands abs2 and abs1 for baseline correction
    • For improved resolution, can try applying linear prediction in the F1 dimension. In the ProcPars tab set the following parameters:
      • ME_mod = LPfr
      • NCOEF = set to 3 times the number of cross peaks in your spectrum.  For NOESY spectra, count symmetric peaks as two. Values that are incorrect by more than a factor of two can degrade the resolution. 
      • LPBIN = 2*TD(in F1)
      • Fourier transform the spectrum again with xfb
