In saturation transfer experiments, the Nuclear Overhauser enhancement (NOE) is often detected from mobile macromolecules and is usually assumed through an exchange-relayed pathway. However, the relationship of such relayed-NOE signals with the chemical exchange is still unclear. We reported simulation, phantom and in vivo studies to examine the dependence of relayed-NOE signal on the chemical exchange.
