2D NMR Spectrum
These all have the advantage that they give a cleaner spectrum
in which the diagonal peaks are prevented from obscuring the
cross peaks, which are weaker in a regular COSY spectrum.
Exclusive Correlation Spectroscopy (ECOSY)
This method gives one peak per pair of coupled nuclei, whose
two coordinates are the chemical shifts of the two coupled
atoms
The HSQC used frequently in NMR spectroscopy of organic
molecules and is of particular significance in the field of
protein NMR. It correlates the nitrogen atom of an NHX group
with the directly attached protons. Each signal in the HSQC
spectrum represents a proton that is bound to nitrogen atom. It
detects correlations between nuclei of two different types
which are separated by one bond.
This method gives one peak per pair of coupled nuclei, whose
two coordinates are the chemical shifts of the two coupled
atoms. The edited HSQC provides the same information as the
DEPT 135 experiment but the HSQC is comparatively much
more sensitive. The HMBC gives correlation between carbon
and proton that are separated by two, three, some time in
conjugated system, four bonds.
1H–15N HSQC spectrum of a fragment of the protein NleG3-2. Each peak in the spectrum represents
a bonded N–H pair, with its two coordinates corresponding to the chemical shifts of each of the H and
N atoms. Some of the peaks are labeled with the amino acid residue that gives that signal.
The HSQC works by transferring magnetization from
the nucleus (usually the proton) to the S nucleus (usually the
heteroatom) using the INEPT pulse sequence; this first step is
done because the proton has a greater equilibrium
magnetization and thus this step creates a stronger signal.
They are useful for analyzing molecules for which the 1D-NMR
spectra contain overlapping multiplets as the J-resolved spectrum
vertically displaces the multiplet from each nucleus by a different
amount.
There are several variants on this pulse sequence which are more
sensitive and more accurate, which fall under the categories of gated
de-coupler methods and spin-flip methods. Homo-nuclear J-resolved
spectroscopy uses the spin echo pulse sequence.
Significance of J-Resolved:
K = 4π2J/ h γx γy
Sign of Coupling: The value of J also has a sign, and
couplings constants of comparable magnitude often have
opposite signs. A double resonance experiments in which a
weak perturbing radiofrequency field is applied on spectral
lines may be used to determine the sign of the coupling
constants.
