Abstract
The advantages of non-uniform sampling (NUS) in offering time savings and resolution enhancement in NMR experiments have been increasingly recognized. The possibility of sensitivity gain by NUS has also been demonstrated. Application of NUS to multidimensional NMR experiments requires the selection of a sampling scheme and a reconstruction scheme to generate uniformly sampled time domain data. In this report, an efficient reconstruction scheme is presented and used to evaluate a range of regularization algorithms that collectively yield a generalized solution to processing NUS data in multidimensional NMR experiments. We compare l1-norm (L1), iterative re-weighted l1-norm (IRL1), and Gaussian smoothed l0-norm (Gaussian-SL0) regularization for processing multidimensional NUS NMR data. Based on the reconstruction of different multidimensional NUS NMR data sets, L1 is demonstrated to be a fast and accurate reconstruction method for both quantitative, high dynamic range applications (e.g. NOESY) and for all J-coupled correlation experiments. Compared to L1, both IRL1 and Gaussian-SL0 are shown to produce slightly higher quality reconstructions with improved linearity in peak intensities, albeit with a computational cost. Finally, a generalized processing system, NESTA-NMR, is described that utilizes a fast and accurate first-order gradient descent algorithm (NESTA) recently developed in the compressed sensing field. NESTA-NMR incorporates L1, IRL1, and Gaussian-SL0 regularization. NESTA-NMR is demonstrated to provide an efficient, streamlined approach to handling all types of multidimensional NMR data using proteins ranging in size from 8 to 32*kDa.
