NOESY (Nuclear Overhauser Effect Spectroscopy) is a 2D NMR technique used to identify nuclear spins undergoing cross-relaxation and measure their rates. It provides information about which proton resonances are from protons close in space. NOESY experiments exploit the nuclear Overhauser effect to observe through-space dipolar couplings. One application is in protein NMR to assign structures by sequential walking. It is useful for determining the stereochemistry of biomolecules in solution.
