  We constrain the effective theory of one-body dark matter-nucleon
interactions using neutrino telescope observations. We derive exclusion limits
on the 28 coupling constants of the theory, exploring interaction operators
previously considered in dark matter direct detection only, and using new
nuclear response functions recently derived through nuclear structure
calculations. We determine for what interactions neutrino telescopes are
superior to current direct detection experiments, and show that Hydrogen is not
the most important element in the exclusion limit calculation for the majority
of the spin-dependent operators.
