Following the interest in the GOESY experiment last October, Glyn Williams has asked me to forward the following message. Any correspondence should be sent directly to Glyn, any relevant info. will be posted.

1D GRADIENT ENHANCED NOEs (GOESY)

Following on from his publication of the GOESY technique [1],
James Keeler has made available pulse sequences for an improved version
of the experiment.

The new sequences use a double pulsed field-gradient echo for selective
excitation of the chosen resonance (see Hwang and Shaka [2]) and are written
for a Bruker DMX/DRX spectrometer. They can be obtained by anonymous ftp from:

felafel.ch.cam.ac.uk (131.111.112.9)

followed by cd to pub/noe.

-rw-r--r-- 1 root 768 May 16 17:08 upup180

The sequences selcal and g2se are used to calibrate the selective 180 degree
pulse and the gradients which are used to defocus the non-selected
magnetisation.

We find that gaussian pulses work well and that sinusoidal gradients (1ms
duration, 17 G/cm and 11 G/cm for the two gradient pairs with 40 G/cm for
the purging gradient) give good sensitivity and selectivity.
