What Does PRE Stand For?
PRE stands for Proton Relaxation Enhancement
Proton Relaxation Enhancement (PRE) is a process utilized in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy that increases the sensitivity and signal intensity of proton NMR signals. By enhancing the relaxation times of specific nuclear spins, PRE facilitates the detection of low-concentration samples and improves the overall quality of spectroscopic data. This technique is particularly valuable in structural biology and the study of biomolecular interactions, where it aids in the elucidation of molecular structures and dynamics.
