BATMAN: open source software for batch metabolites NMR resonance peak fitting.
BATMAN deconvolves resonance peaks from NMR spectra of complex mixtures and obtains concentration estimates for the corresponding metabolites automatically. This is achieved through a database of spectral profiles for known metabolites and a Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm.
Users have the options to specify the multiplet ppm position, position shift range, peak width range and so on. Parallel processing is available if processing several spectra. The installation and testing instructions can be found at:
