New version is available.

Summary:
Pure Shift NMR Spectroscopy suppresses the effects of homonuclear coupling, allowing HSQC spectra to be produced that contain chemical shift information only in both dimensions. Where homonuclear couplings are resolved in the proton dimension of a standard HSQC spectrum, pure shift methods can improve both resolution and sensitivity. Unlike the standard PS gHSQC sequence, the pulse sequences below can be used even in the presence of strong non-deuterated solvent signals (e.g. 90% H₂O/10% D₂O). Pulse sequences and example data are available for real-time BIRD and band-selective methods, implemented on Varian/Agilent and Bruker spectrometers.
