A novel NMR scheme is presented that establishes homonuclear spin correlations without requiring direct detection of the spin species. This covariance NMR method is experimentally demonstrated for a mixture of amino acids and for the uniformly 13C-labeled cyclic decapeptide antamanide using a 13C-edited TOCSY experiment. The method opens up new avenues for the experimental analysis of molecules containing insensitive spins encountered in biomolecular NMR and analytical chemistry including metabolomics.
