Department of Microbiology & Immunology University of Illinois Chicago Cosy, Noesy, and HoHaHa! Respectively, these are abbreviations for two-dimensional scalar correlated spectroscopy, two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy, and Homonuclear Hartmann Hahn transfer experiment - three of the techniques used to study Megasphaera elsdenii. Apparently, we need to learn well the general rules for two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) determination of atomic conne
