Abstract
MOTIVATION: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) protein studies rely on the accurate assignment of resonances. The general procedure is to (1) pick peaks, (2) cluster data from various experiments or spectra, (3) assign peaks to the sequence and (4) verify the assignments with the spectra. Many algorithms already exist for automating the assignment process (step 3). What is lacking is a flexible interface to help a spectroscopist easily move from clustering (step 2) to assignment algorithms (step 3) and back to verification of the algorithm output with spectral analysis (step 4). RESULTS: A software module, NvAssign, was written for use with NMRView. It is a significant extension of the previous CBCA module. The module provides a flexible interface to cluster data and interact with the existing assignment algorithms. Further, the software module is able to read the results of other algorithms so that the data can be easily verified by spectral analysis. The generalized interface is demonstrated by connecting the clustered data with the assignment algorithms PACES and MONTE using previously assigned data for the lyase domain of DNA polymerase lambda. The spectral analysis program NMRView is now able to read the output of these programs for simplified analysis and verification. AVAILABILITY: NvAssign is available from http://dir.niehs.nih.gov/dirnmr/nvassign
