What Does HOESY Stand For?

HOESY stands for Heteronuclear Overhauser Enhancement Spectroscopy

HOESY, or Heteronuclear Overhauser Enhancement Spectroscopy, is an advanced nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique used to enhance the signal of heteronuclear spins, typically involving interactions between proton (^1H) and other nuclei such as carbon (^13C) or nitrogen (^15N). This method exploits the Overhauser effect, allowing for improved sensitivity and resolution in the study of molecular structures and dynamics, particularly in complex biomolecules and materials. By providing detailed information on spatial relationships between atoms, HOESY is instrumental in elucidating the three-dimensional configurations of compounds in solution.
