Abstract:
The (1)H NMR spectrum of the perchloric acid extract of carp seminal plasma was heavily congested. It is demonstrated that proton-detected C,H chemical shift correlation spectroscopy (HSQC, HSQC-TOCSY) allows an unequivocal identification of proline, glutamate, taurine, and methionine sulfoxide, although several key proton signals were strongly overlapped.

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...
¹H NMR: Complex Splitting
Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.
