Abstract
Gradient-enhanced versions of the homonuclear TOCSY experiment are described, with solvent suppression and sensitivity superior to that of a conventional TOCSY experiment. The pulse sequences are constructed by appending a WATERGATE module to a z-filtered TOCSY experiment. Pulsed-field gradients and appropriately phased selective rf pulses are used to maintain precise control of the water magnetization vector. Problems associated with radiation damping and spin-locking of the water magnetization are thus alleviated. The water magnetization is returned to equilibrium prior to each acquisition, which improves water suppression and minimizes signal losses due to saturation transfer.Keywords
