Title: Towards fully automated protein structure elucidation with NMR spectroscopy,
Abstract: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one of the leading
techniques for protein studies. The method features a number of properties,
allowing to explain macromolecular interactions mechanistically and resolve
structures with atomic resolution. However, due to laborious data analysis, a
full potential of NMR spectroscopy remains unexploited. Here we present an
approach aiming at automation of two major bottlenecks in the analysis
pipeline, namely, peak picking and chemical shift assignment. Our approach
combines deep learning, non-parametric models and combinatorial optimization,
and is able to detect signals of interest in a multidimensional NMR data with
high accuracy and match them with atoms in medium-length protein sequences,
which is a preliminary step to solve protein spatial structure.
