β¦ Synopsis
We describe a new and powerful computer program called TRIPLE_GRADIENT which calculates optimized pulsed field gradient sequences for specific coherence pathway selection or rejection. Sequences can be computed for gradient coils acting along one, two, or three perpendicular axes. The program is based on the computational minimization of a penalty function formed from the summed amplitudes of the unwanted signals. The underlying mathematical analysis makes use of a vectorial representation of the way in which a gradient sequence suppresses different signals. It is argued that experiments using well-calculated gradient sequences are quicker and generally perform better than those using extensive phase cycling, especially when suppressing extremely strong solvent signals, and it is shown that in many cases gradient experiments of optimal signal-to-noise ratio can be performed. These claims are illustrated by spectra obtained from an HQQC experiment.

## Abstract Magnetic field gradients were incorporated into the selective COSY experiment. The new gradientβselected experiment has the expected advantages of significantly improved spectral quality resulting from better artifact suppression and the capacity to acquire spectra using fewer scans. A
The selection of well-defined coherence transfer pathways is an essential feature of all but the simplest NMR and EPR pulse sequences. This selection can be achieved by phase cycling and by pulsed field gradients. The properties of the RF-pulses (flip angle, offset effects, inhomogeneity) and transp
Pulsed-field gradient diffusion has been used to study the binding of two tachykinin peptides, [Tyr 8 ]-substance P (SP) and [Tyr 0 ]-neurokinin A (NKA) to two membrane-mimicking micelles, dodecylphosphocholine, and sodium dodecylsulfate. The structure of these peptides bound to the micelles have al
