CommunicationTwo-dimensional Fourier transform of arbitrarily sampled NMR data sets

A new procedure for Fourier transform with respect to more than one time variable simultaneously is proposed for NMR data processing. In the case of two-dimensional transform the spectrum is calculated for pairs of frequencies, instead of conventional sequence of one-dimensional transforms. Therefore, it enables one to Fourier transform arbitrarily sampled time domain and thus allows for analysis of high dimensionality spectra acquired in a short time. The proposed method is not limited to radial sampling, it requires only to fulfill the Nyquist theorem considering two or more time domains at the same time. We show the application of new approach to the 3D HNCO spectrum acquired for protein sample with radial and spiral time domain sampling.
