Abstract
BackgroundSymmetrical NMR spectroscopy, such as Total Correlation Spectroscopy (TOCSY) and other homonuclear spectroscopy, displays symmetry in chemical shift but are generally not symmetrical in terms of intensity, which constitutes a pivotal branch of multidimensional NMR spectroscopy and offers a robust tool for elucidating the structures and dynamics of complex samples, particularly in the context of biological macromolecules. Non-Uniform Sampling (NUS) stands as a critical technique for accelerating multidimensional NMR experiments. However, symmetrical NMR spectroscopy inherently presents dynamic peak intensities, where cross peaks tend to be substantially weaker compared to diagonal peaks. Recovering these weaker cross peaks from NUS data poses a significant challenge, often resulting in compromised data quality. ResultsWe enhance the reconstruction quality of NUS symmetrical NMR spectroscopy based on the assumption that the asymmetry in intensity is mild. Regarding the sampling schedule, we employ the symmetrical sampling structure integrated with Poisson sampling schedule to enhance the efficiency of data acquisition. In term of the reconstruction algorithm, we propose the new method by incorporating hard and soft symmetrical constraints into our recently developed L1-norm-based Compressed Sensing (CS) method known as Sparse Complex-valued REconstruction Enabled by Newton method (SCREEN). Additionally, we propose a two-step reconstruction strategy that separately addresses diagonal and cross peaks. In this two-step strategy, cross peaks are effectively reconstructed by excluding the stronger diagonal peaks. Extensive experimental results validate the effectiveness of our proposed methodology. SignificanceThis method enhances the overall quality of the reconstructed NUS symmetrical NMR spectra, especially in terms of cross peaks, thereby enriching the interpretation of spectral information. Furthermore, it boosts the robustness towards regularization parameters, facilitating a user-friendly experience.
