I am working with carbohydrates and in 1D NMR we have anomeric protons very close to the HOD peak, sometimes even right under there. In the lab where I used to work we had a bruker machine with an adapted WEFT pulse (described by Hard et al, 1995), which basically does a 180 degree pulse on the HOD, followed by a HS pulse of 50 usec, d1 times to have 0 magnetization on HOD, then a detection pulse.
Since the HOD relaxes much slower than the glycan H-C protons you get about 80% signal on nearby glycan protons and your HOD is usually nearly gone. Glycan protons farther away from the HOD are at full signal strength (which is not so in the normal WEFT pulse described in 1972)
Where I work now, we have Varian machines with pre-installed PRESAT and WET1D pulses, however, these pulses do not only suppress the HOD signal, but also remove any carbohydrate signal that is near, or under, the HOD signal. Does anyone know of a way to adjust settings in the WET1D, which uses a shaped pulse for the HOD suppression much like the WEFT, to avoid the glycan signal suppression? Or do I have to try and get our old bruker pulse from my previous employer and try to translate it into Varian language?

Abstract
Metalloproteins are a category of biomolecules in which the metal site is usually the locus of activity or function. In many cases, the metal ions are paramagnetic or have accessible paramagnetic states, many of which can be studied using NMR...

[U. of Ottawa NMR Facility Blog] "Absolute" Water Suppression
"Absolute" Water Suppression
Collecting 1H NMR spectra of aqueous samples is complicated by the presence of the enormous, broad water signal which is often many orders of magnitude more intense than the signals from the solute of interest. The water signal can be suppressed by presaturation or multiple pulse techniques employing gradients (such as WATERGATE). These techniques are compared here and do a very good job, but neither is able to completely suppress the water signal in very dilute challenging samples. Recently, a technique introduced by Buuan Lam and Andre Simpson* which uses...

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] Which are better methods of water suppression at higher salt concentrations?
Which are better methods of water suppression at higher salt concentrations?
Hello, could anyone recommend better technique for water suppression for the samples having higher salt concentration?
At what salt concentration is the method effective?
Dr. Talluri mentioned in his post that water suppression using soft pulses (such as one using excitation sculpting) is not as friendly for high salt samples - what is the mechanism?

[U. of Ottawa NMR Facility Blog] Background Suppression in Liquids
Background Suppression in Liquids
High resolution NMR probes for liquids may contain parts near the coil consiting of the nuclei being observed. The parts give rise to background signals which can severely affect the NMR data. When observing11B, there is a background signal from boron containing parts near the coil and also the borosilicate glass in the NMR tube containing the sample.
Cory and Ritchey* introduced a very simple, clever method to suppress background signals in 1988. Their method uses a composite pulse, consisting of a 90° and two 180° pulses with appropriate phase...
