Abstract:
Maximum Entropy reconstruction is applied to two-dimensional PISEMA spectra of stationary samples of peptide crystals and proteins in magnetically aligned virus particles and membrane bilayers. Improvements in signal-to-noise ratios were observed with minimal distortion of the spectra when Maximum Entropy reconstruction was applied to non-linearly sampled data in the indirect dimension. Maximum Entropy reconstruction was also applied in the direct dimension by selecting sub-sets of data from the free induction decays. Because the noise is uncorrelated in the spectra obtained by Maximum Entropy reconstruction of data with different non-linear sampling schedules, it is possible to improve the signal-to-noise ratios by co-addition of multiple spectra derived from one experimental data set. The combined application of Maximum Entropy to data in the indirect and direct dimensions has the potential to lead to substantial reductions in the total amount of experimental time required for acquisition of data in multidimensional NMR experiments.
