A General Reconstruction Method for Multidimensional Sparse Sampling Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Multidimensional NMR spectroscopy provides a powerful tool for structure elucidation and dynamic analysis of complex samples, particularly for biological macromolecules. Multidimensional sparse sampling effectively accelerates NMR experiments while an efficient reconstruction method is generally required for unraveling spectra. Various reconstruction methods were proposed for pure Fourier NMR (only involving chemical shifts and J couplings detection). However, reconstruction concerned with Laplace-related NMR (i.e., involving relaxation or diffusion detection) is more challenging due to its ill-posed property. The existing Laplace-related NMR sparse sampling reconstruction methods suffer from poor resolution and possible artifacts in the resulting spectra owing to the pitfalls of the optimization algorithms. Herein, we propose a general approach for fast high-resolution reconstruction of multidimensional sparse sampling NMR, including pure Fourier, mixed Fourier-Laplace, and pure Laplace NMR, benefiting from the comprehensive sparse constraint and effective optimization algorithm and thus showing the promising prospects of multidimensional NMR.
