What Does NOE Stand For?
NOE stands for Nuclear Overhauser Enhancement
Nuclear Overhauser Enhancement (NOE) is a phenomenon observed in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, where the signal intensity of certain nuclei is increased through the transfer of polarization from neighboring nuclei. This effect is particularly useful in structural biology and chemistry, as it enhances the detection of low-abundance signals, providing valuable information about molecular structures and interactions. NOE allows researchers to gain insight into three-dimensional molecular arrangements and dynamics, facilitating the study of complex biological systems and the development of pharmaceuticals.
