Evaluation of slaved pulses to study protein hydration

The new concept of slaved pulses is evaluated in the context of the study o f protein hydration. The inversion properties of these pulses are shown to be superior in quality to the previously published schemes. High-quality wa ter selective homonuclear 2D H-1 NOESY-NOESY and NOESY-TOCSY experiments we re recorded on horse heart ferrocytochrome c. (C) 1999 Academic Press.
