Although current NMR techniques allow organisms to be studied in vivo,magnetic susceptibility distortions,which arise from inhomogeneous distributions of chemical moieties, prevent the acquisition of high-resolution NMR spectra. Intermolecular single quantum coherence (iSQC) is at echnique that breaks the sampless patial isotropyt of orm long range dipolar couplings,w hich can be exploited to extract chemical shift information free of perturbations.W hile this approach holds vast potential, present practical limitations include radiation damping,r elaxation losses,a nd non-phase sensitive data. Herein, these drawbacks are addressed, and an ew technique termed in-phase iSQC (IP-iSQC) is introduced. When applied to aliving system, high-resolution NMR spectra, nearly identical to ab uffer extract, are obtained. The ability to look inside an organism and extract ahigh-resolution metabolic profile is profound and should find applications in fields in which metabolism or in vivo processes are of interest.
