Abstract
Accurate signal assignments can be challenging for congested solid-state NMR (ssNMR) spectra. We describe an automatic sequential assignment program (ASAP) to partially overcome this challenge. ASAP takes three input files: the residue type assignments (RTAs) determined from the better-resolved NCACX spectrum, the full peak list of the NCOCX spectrum, and the protein sequence. It integrates our auto-residue type assignment strategy (ARTIST) with the Monte Carlo simulated annealing (MCSA) algorithm to overcome the hurdle for accurate signal assignments caused by incomplete side-chain resonances and spectral congestion. Combined, ASAP demonstrates robust performance and accelerates signal assignments of large proteins (>200 residues) that lack crystalline order.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Magnetic Resonance presents original technical and scientific papers in all aspects of magnetic resonance, including nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) of solids and liquids, electron spin/paramagnetic resonance (EPR), in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (MRS), nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) and magnetic resonance phenomena at nearly zero fields or in combination with optics. The Journal''s main aims include deepening the physical principles underlying all these spectroscopies, publishing significant theoretical and experimental results leading to spectral and spatial progress in these areas, and opening new MR-based applications in chemistry, biology and medicine. The Journal also seeks descriptions of novel apparatuses, new experimental protocols, and new procedures of data analysis and interpretation - including computational and quantum-mechanical methods - capable of advancing MR spectroscopy and imaging.
