nmrlineshapeanalyser: ss-NMR peak shape deconvolution and line shape analysis made easy

nmrlineshapeanalyser is an open-source Python package designed to make peak deconvolution or line shape analysis in 1D NMR spectrum easier.

This package is compatible with Bruker's NMR data and spectrum data saved in a CSV files (see User's guide).

Why nmrlineshapeanalyser?

  • it offers an easy and fast processing of either lineshape spectral analysis or peak deconvolution
  • it requires the path to processed Bruker's data data\single_peak\10\pdata\1
  • for the optimisation, you only need to input the peak position(s) -- it does the rest
  • it gives you the freedom to decide if you want to either optimise or fix the peak peak position(s) while other peak parameters are refined
  • it provides you a detailed analysis of the optimised Pseudo-Voigt parameters that describe your peak(s) -- saved in a txt file
  • for peak deconvolution, it calculates the percentage of each peaks
  • it saves fit and data in a CSV file in case you decide to visualise in your preferred software
  • it saves your fit as a publication-quality png file

Key Features

  • Load and process Bruker NMR data
  • Select and analyse specific spectral regions
  • Perform peak fitting using Pseudo-Voigt profiles
  • Calculate detailed peak metrics and statistics
  • Generate publication-quality visuals
  • Export results in various formats:
    • txt: calculated peak metrics and statistics
    • png: visualisation of the fitted spectral regions
    • csv: save plots to a file

A Single Peak Fitting Example

from nmrlineshapeanalyser.core import NMRProcessor

#create NMRProcessor object

processor = NMRProcessor()

#Load filepath: always include the '\\'
filepath = r"..\data\single_peak\10\pdata\1\\"

# Load the data

processor.load_data(filepath)

#Select the region of interest

x_data, y_data = processor.select_region(512, 650)

#Normalize the data and return normalised y_axis and the corresponding x_axis

x_data, y_normalized = processor.normalize_data(x_data, y_data)

#define initial parameters for the fitting
#this example is for a single peak
#format of the parameters is [x0, amplitude, width, eta, offset]
# x0 (position), amplitude, width, eta (mixing parameter), offset
#x0 has to be close to the peak position


initial_params = [
581, 0.12, 40.51, 0.89, -143.115, 
  ]

#Specify the number of peaks to be fitted

number_of_peaks = 1

# fixed_x0 controls whether peak positions should be fixed during fitting
# False means position can vary, True means position is fixed
fixed_x0 = [False] * number_of_peaks

# You can alternatively set it up as:

#fixed_x0 = [False] 

#Where the number of False reflects the number of peaks you want to optimise 
# i.e. [False, False] means you want to optimise two peak positions and so on

#FIt the data
popt, metrics, fitted = processor.fit_peaks(x_data, y_normalized, initial_params, fixed_x0)

#popt is the optimized parameters
#metrics is the metrics of the fitting
#fitted is the fitted curve data

#Plot and examine the results of the fitting
fig, axes, components = processor.plot_results(x_data, y_normalized, fitted, popt)

#Save the figure as a png file and the results as a csv file
processor.save_results(filepath, x_data, y_normalized, fitted, metrics, popt, components)
This should generate the image below.
