Combine and conquer: Configurational assignment of remote stereogenic centers in the complex polyketide macrolide archazolide A (see structure; red O, blue N, yellow S) was accomplished by a purely NMR-based approach relying on a combination of nuclear Overhauser effects, J couplings, and residual dipolar couplings (RDCs).
