Abstract
Assignment of NMR spectra is a prerequisite for structure determination of proteins using NMR. The time spent on the assignment is comparatively long compared to that spent on other parts in the protein structure determination process, but it can be shortened by using either interactive or fully automated computer programs. To benefit from the advantages of both types of program we have developed a version of the interactive assignment program ANSIG to include automatized, yet user-supervised, routines. The new program includes tools for (i) semiautomatic sequential assignment, (ii) plotting of distances from PDB structure files directly in NMR spectra and (iii) statistical analysis of distance restraint violations with the possibility to directly zoom to violated NOEs in NOESY spectra.
