Abstract: | Summary A novel algorithm for removing baseline distortions in NMR spectra is presented. The algorithm approximates the baseline as the median of the noise extrema. Consequently, the method does not require that NMR peaks be discriminated from noise peaks. In addition, no assumptions regarding the source or functional form of the distortion are made. The algorithm is shown to remove the baseline artifacts present in a particularly distorted NOESY spectrum and to reveal peaks which had been obscured by the artifacts. The parameters and spectral characteristics (signal-to-noise ratio, NMR peak density, peak linewidths) governing the resolution of the calculated baselines are also explored. |
