AbstractThe analysis of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra for the comprehensive and unambiguous identification and characterization of peaks is a difficult, but critically important step in all NMR analyses of complex biological molecular systems. Here, we introduce DEEP Picker, a deep neural network (DNN)-based approach for peak picking and spectral deconvolution which semi-automates the analysis of two-dimensional NMR spectra. DEEP Picker includes 8 hidden convolutional layers and was trained on a large number of synthetic spectra of known composition with variable degrees of crowdedness. We show that our method is able to correctly identify overlapping peaks, including ones that are challenging for expert spectroscopists and existing computational methods alike. We demonstrate the utility of DEEP Picker on NMR spectra of folded and intrinsically disordered proteins as well as a complex metabolomics mixture, and show how it provides access to valuable NMR information. DEEP Picker should facilitate the semi-automation and standardization of protocols for better consistency and sharing of results within the scientific community.

We characterized a novel extracellular matrix element that is present in the earliest developmental stages of Xenopus laevis, and is recognized by an mAb 3D7. Based on amino acid composition, breakdown patterns by bacterial collagenases, and the molecular weights of the components of the antigen (240, 200, and 140 kD), we found it very similar to mammalian collagen type VI. The antigen is evenly distributed in unfertilized eggs. Shortly after fertilization, it becomes localized intracellularly in the periphery of the cleaving embryo as well as in the extracellular spaces. During gastrulation, the antigen was localized in the cells lining the blastopore and in the extracellular space between the two cell layers, in the presumptive archenteron. When Fab elements of the 3D7 antibody were added to the culture medium, gastrulation was blocked, suggesting a role for the antigen in gastrulation movements.

Abstract Biomolecular function is based on a complex hierarchy of molecular motions. While biophysical methods can reveal details of specific motions, a concept for the comprehensive description of molecular dynamics over a wide range of correlation times has been unattainable. Here, we report a novel approach to construct the dynamic landscape of biomolecules, which describes the aggregate influence of multiple motions acting on various timescales and on multiple positions in the molecule. To this end, we use NMR relaxation and molecular dynamics simulation data for the characterization of lipid membranes, the most important biological interface. We develop a dynamics detector method that yields site-specific amplitudes, separated both by type and timescale of motion. This separation allows the detailed description of the dynamic landscape, which reveals vast differences in motion depending on molecular position. More generally, the method is applicable to a broad range of molecular systems, and can be adapted to other timescale-sensitive techniques.
