Summary The structural determination of biological molecules in solution by NMR relies on the determination of a set of interatomic distances obtained by measurement of intramolecular nuclear Overhauser effects (NOE). It is shown in this paper that it is possible to obtain the accurate relaxation rate (and hence the interatomic distance) from the direct measurement of a single NOE signal. The precise analysis of a NOESY peak evolution with respect to the mixing time allows the evaluation of the relaxation parameters for the pair of spins under consideration. This is done without any assumption on the relaxation of unmeasured spins, or on the movement of the molecule. The theoretical basis of this method is presented. In order to evaluate the proposed method, a simulated case on the protein BPTI is studied, which shows that the method performs very well even in the case of noisy data sets.
