Characterization of the chemical components of complex mixtures in solution is important in many areas of biochemistry and chemical biology, including metabolomics. The use of 2D NMR total correlation spectroscopy (TOCSY) experiments has proven very useful for the identification of known metabolites as well as for the characterization of metabolites that are unknown by taking advantage of the good resolution and high sensitivity of this homonuclear experiment. Due to the complexity of the resulting spectra, automation is critical to facilitate and speed-up their analysis and enable high-throughput applications. To better meet these emerging needs, an automated spin-system identification algorithm of TOCSY spectra is introduced that represents the cross-peaks and their connectivities as a mathematical graph, for which all subgraphs are determined that are maximal cliques. Each maximal clique can be assigned to an individual spin system thereby providing a robust deconvolution of the original spectrum for the easy extraction of critical spin system information. The approach is demonstrated for a complex metabolite mixture consisting of 20 compounds and for E. coli cell lysate.
