NMRphasing

NMRphasing is an R package designed for the correction of phase errors in NMR data. While its primary focus is on 1D NMR data, it can also be employed for 2D and 3D NMR data by processing one 1D NMR data file at a time.

I. NMRphasing installation

First of all, please ensure that you have the R package MassSpecWavelet, which is a dependency for NMRphasing. You can install MassSpecWavelet using the following example code:

if (!requireNamespace(“BiocManager”, quietly = TRUE)) install.packages(“BiocManager”) BiocManager::install(“MassSpecWavelet”)

NMRphasing is available on CRAN, and we can directly install it in R:

install.packages("NMRphasing")

Alternatively, let’s proceed to install NMRphasing from GitHub.

devtools :: install_github(repo = "ajiangsfu/NMRphasing",force = TRUE)  
## if you do not have old versions of NMRphasing, please remove force = TRUE

II. Data format

The input data for NMRphasing can be in one of four formats:

A vector of absorption spectrum.
A complex vector.
A data matrix with two columns of spectrum data, where the first column represents the absorption spectrum, and the second column represents the dispersion spectrum.
A data frame with two columns of spectrum data, where the first column is for the absorption spectrum, and the second column is for the dispersion spectrum.

After installing NMRphasing, you can load a subset of example data from our multiple metabolite spike-in experiment using the following code snippet:

library(NMRphasing)
data("fdat")
str(fdat)

## 'data.frame':    5891 obs. of  2 variables:
##  $ frequency_domain: cplx  -252643-294983i -221414-311592i -189411-330984i ...
##  $ ppm             : num  4 4 4 4 4 ...

In the code above, we load the dataset ‘fdat’ from the package. ‘fdat$frequency_domain’ represents the complex vector used in the following illustration, while ‘freq’ is utilized for plotting purposes. If your NMR data uses ppm values, you can substitute ‘ppm’ accordingly.

## in order to make comparison, absorption part can be extracted
fdat$Observed_Absorption = Re(fdat$frequency_domain)

library(ggpubr)

## Loading required package: ggplot2

## Warning: package 'ggplot2' was built under R version 4.3.3

p1 = ggplot(fdat, aes(x = ppm, y = Observed_Absorption)) +
      geom_line() + theme_bw() + labs(y = "Observed Absorption") +
      theme(panel.grid.major = element_blank(), panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),
        panel.background = element_blank(), axis.line = element_line(colour = "black"),
        axis.title.x = element_text(size = 6), 
        axis.title.y = element_text(size = 6))
p1

The observed absorption spectrum without phase error correction looks very bad.

III. Example Code

In this package, there are currently nine NMR phase error correction methods implemented. They are as follows: “NLS”, “SPC_DANM”,“MPC_DANM”, “SPC_EMP”, “MPC_EMP”,“SPC_AAM”,“MPC_AAM”, “SPC_DSM” and “MPC_DSM”.

1. NLS

This is our new shrinkage method, which is the fastest phase error correction method since it does not involve any optimization step.

fdat$Phased_Absoprtion = NMRphasing(specDatIn = fdat$frequency_domain, method = "NLS") 

p2 = ggplot(fdat, aes(x = ppm, y = Phased_Absoprtion)) +
      geom_line() + theme_bw() + labs(y = "Phased Absoprtion") +
        theme(panel.grid.major = element_blank(), panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),
        panel.background = element_blank(), axis.line = element_line(colour = "black"),
        axis.title.x = element_text(size = 6), 
        axis.title.y = element_text(size = 6))
ggarrange(plotlist = list(p1,p2),labels = c("Before","After"),font.label = list(size = 6),nrow = 2, ncol=1)

The default setting for ‘withBC’ is TRUE, which tests for baseline bias based on spline regression on the lowess line. If the maximum of adjusted squared r is greater than 0.2, baseline correction is performed with modified polynomial fitting.

If you set ‘withBC’ as FALSE, then no baseline bias will be tested and corrected. The example code is:

fdat$Phased_Absoprtion = NMRphasing(specDatIn = fdat$frequency_domain, method = "NLS", withBC = FALSE)

2. SPC_DANM

The “SPC_DANM” method employs the traditional single linear model approach for phase error correction but incorporates a new optimization function designed to minimize the difference between absolute area and net area.

fdat$Phased_Absoprtion = NMRphasing(specDatIn = fdat$frequency_domain, method = "SPC_DANM") 

p2 = ggplot(fdat, aes(x = ppm, y = Phased_Absoprtion)) +
      geom_line() + theme_bw() + labs(y = "Phased Absoprtion") +
        theme(panel.grid.major = element_blank(), panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),
        panel.background = element_blank(), axis.line = element_line(colour = "black"),
        axis.title.x = element_text(size = 6), 
        axis.title.y = element_text(size = 6))
ggarrange(plotlist = list(p1,p2),labels = c("Before","After"),font.label = list(size = 6),nrow = 2, ncol=1)

3. MPC_DANM

This approach utilizes our new multiple linear model for phase error correction along with our optimization function designed to minimize the difference between absolute area and net area.

fdat$Phased_Absoprtion = NMRphasing(specDatIn = fdat$frequency_domain, method = "MPC_DANM") 

p2 = ggplot(fdat, aes(x = ppm, y = Phased_Absoprtion)) +
      geom_line() + theme_bw() + labs(y = "Phased Absoprtion") +
        theme(panel.grid.major = element_blank(), panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),
        panel.background = element_blank(), axis.line = element_line(colour = "black"),
        axis.title.x = element_text(size = 6), 
        axis.title.y = element_text(size = 6))
ggarrange(plotlist = list(p1,p2),labels = c("Before","After"),font.label = list(size = 6),nrow = 2, ncol=1)

        theme(panel.grid.major = element_blank(), panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),
        panel.background = element_blank(), axis.line = element_line(colour = "black"),
        axis.title.x = element_text(size = 6), 
        axis.title.y = element_text(size = 6))

        panel.background = element_blank(), axis.line = element_line(colour = "black"),
        axis.title.x = element_text(size = 6), 
        axis.title.y = element_text(size = 6))
