Hello, what NMR experiments can detect hydrogen bonds directly?
Is there anything that can work with non-labeled samples at the natural abundance of isotopes?

We have a cyclic peptide that might form a beta-sheet made of two anti-parallel strands.
The problem is that it is made of two pieces of the same sequence closed into a cycle and in such arrangement NOE's from the "middle" part (if it is indeed forming two anti-parallel beta-strands) will be hard to distinguish as being intra- or inter-strand. That's why I think direct observation of hydrogen bonds would be very helpful.
Thanks!
