ASICS

Library of pure NMR metabolites spectra

A dataset with spectra of 175 pure metabolites is available in the package. It is automatically loaded at package start and available metabolites are displayed with:

head(pure_library$name, n = 20)

##  [1] "1-Methyl-L-Histidine"           "1-Methylhydantoin"             
##  [3] "1,3-Diaminopropane"             "1,6-Anhydro-Beta-D-Glucose"    
##  [5] "2-AminoAdipicAcid"              "2-Aminobutyric Acid"           
##  [7] "2-deoxyadenosine"               "2-deoxycytidine"               
##  [9] "2-deoxyguanosine"               "2-deoxyguanosinemonophosphate" 
## [11] "2-HydroxyphenylAceticAcid"      "2-MethylglutaricAcid"          
## [13] "2-Oxobutyrate"                  "2-oxoglutarate"                
## [15] "2-PicolinicAcid"                "2,3-Pyridine dicarboxylic Acid"
## [17] "3-hydroxybutyrate"              "3-HydroxyphenylAceticAcid"     
## [19] "3-Methyl-L-Histidine"           "3-MethyladipicAcid"

Identification and quantification of metabolites on one or more Bruker files with ASICS

The identification and the quantification are carried out using only one function ASICS directly from raw files (Bruker files):

# part of the spectrum to exclude (water)
to_exclude <- matrix(c(4.5,5.1,5.5,6.5), ncol = 2, byrow = TRUE)
result <- ASICS(path = system.file("extdata", "example_spectra",
                                   "AG_faq_Beck01", package = "ASICS"),
                exclusion.areas = to_exclude)
result

## Number of identified metabolites: 40 
## 
## Most concentrated metabolites: 
##                   Name Relative_Concentration
## 1            D-Glucose            0.025222765
## 2              Lactate            0.012571970
## 3       L-GlutamicAcid            0.008477737
## 4 DehydroAscorbic Acid            0.006028531
## 5              Taurine            0.005801350
## 6         Myo-Inositol            0.005675374

The quality of the results can be assessed by stacking the original and the recomposed spectrum on one plot. A pure metabolite spectrum can also be added for visual comparison.

plot(result, xmin = 1, xmax = 1.5, ymax = 10, add_metab = "Lactate")

Relative concentrations of identified metabolites are saved in:
