Summary The multiplet structure of cross peaks in double-quantum-filtered COSY NMR spectra is analysed for those resonances that include passive heteronuclear couplings. Interestingly, the cross peak involving the sugar-ring protons H2′ and H3′ in nucleic acids display an E.COSY-type appearance exclusively when the backbone torsion angle ɛ (C4′-C3′-O3′-P) adopts a gauche(-) conformation. This observation allows an unambiguous analysis of the conformation around ɛ, without the knowledge of 3Jcp coupling constants.
