Non-Quaternary Suppression (NQS) 7.4
The NQS experiment is a simple spectral editing experiment. It relies on the fast
dephasing of rare spins coupled to
1
H spins through the heteronuclear dipolar in-
teraction. For the dephasing delay d3 one uses between 30 and 80 µs.

The non-quatemary suppression experiment is also called the dipolar dephas-
ing experiment.
Use glycine or tyrosine spinning at 11 kHz as before.
