J Magn Reson B. 1994 Sep;105(1):45-51
Authors: Li YC, Montelione GT
Artifacts due to solvent saturation-transfer effects result in incorrect measurements of 1H-15N heteronuclear NOE (HNOE). These artifacts are commonly observed in aqueous protein solutions at neutral pH. We describe the application of pulsed field gradients (PFGs) together with long recycle delays in overcoming errors in HNOE measurements which arise from H2O solvent preirradiation and solvent saturation transfer. Even in the absence of explicit solvent irradiation, the HNOE pulse sequence itself results in a nonequilibrium spin-state distribution of solvent nuclei which can then be transferred by chemical exchange into amide-proton sites. This effect can be avoided by using PFGs for suppression of solvent H2O together with a recycle delay sufficiently long for the magnetization of water to relax back to equilibrium values during the preparation period. These effects were studied in 15N-enriched human type alpha transforming growth factor at pH 7.1. Comparisons of PFG-HNOE experiments with and without selective H2O irradiation and with different recycle times provide estimates of the effects of solvent irradiation on HNOE measurements, which are different for different amide nitrogen-15 nuclei. The amplitudes of these artificial HNOE enhancements are roughly correlated with solvent accessibilities of amide sites in the three-dimensional structure of hTGF alpha.

Can anyone help me with Saturation Transfer NMR
Hi I am working on a Varian 500MHz NMR. I am attempting to use the pulse sequence satxfer1D to measure the rate constant of an exchanging system. I am not using solvent suppression and I am having trouble understanding the physics behind the "mixing time" after the 90 pulse. I also do not know how many iterations the selective pulse should go through because it seems that if I turn the mixing time off and just use a selective pulse, and then a pw90, I will still obtain the same spectrum no matter how many iterations the selective pulse train...

Saturation Transfer and Exchange
Exchange processes that occur on the NMR time scale affect the NMR line shapes and can be studied by line shape analysis. If the exchange process is slow on the NMR time scale, one can employ EXSY or inversion transfer methods to study the exchange. An alternative to these is the saturation transfer technique. In this method, one of the slowly exchanging resonances (A) is saturated with low power CW irradiation and the effect on the intensity of the resonance of the exchange partner (B) is monitored. If there is exchange between A and B during the period of...
