CONTRAST, version 2.0
CONTRAST
Automated Assignment Tools for Peptides and Proteins
CONTRAST
- Requires the amino acid sequence and the NMR peak coordinates in the form of chemical shifts and intensities from 2D, 3D and nD peak lists generated by SpecManPlus to perform automated assignment of peptides and proteins.
- Generates Customizable procedures based on the input data for extracting connectivities and completing assignments.
Assigned Peaks in HCCHT, HNCA, HNCO & HNCAB
- Provides the user with several versatile tools for manipulating peak lists in order to design a custom strategy.
- Works with any type of multidimensional NMR spectral data to generate the best set of resonance assignments. Based on the quantity and quality of input data, CONTRAST provides only partial assignments.
- Enables easy viewing and editing of peak lists and assignment tables.
- Exports results as ASCII files compatible with typical 'spreadsheet' format.
Results of Automated Assignment
Applications
- Automated sequential assignment of peptides and protein NMR data.
