Hi all,
I have been asked to use MD to help assign some structures according to NMR
and NOESY data. All I have is a table showing the assignment of NOESY peaks
(the protons names) and the intensities (volumes) for each peak. Something
like:
Unit1# resname H Unit2 resname H Intensity
1 DhAla H3b 2 NOHAla H2 1.00
1 DhAla H3b 5 4MePro H2 0.11
1 DhAla H3b 5 4MePro H5b 0.04
1 DhAla H3b 3 NMeAsn NMe 0.04
[...]
I am in the process of converting this data into the 7-column format
required by makeDIST_RST to create the actual NMR-restraints. I'd
appreciate some input on the practical aspects of this:
1. Some signals appear twice (from the peak above and below the diagonal),
only with the atoms inverted, but not necessarily with the same intensity.
For example, I may have:
1 DhAla H3b 3 NMeAsn NMe 0.04
3 NMeAsn NMe 1 DhAla H3b 0.12
In this case, what is the suggested approach? Should I keep only the
highest intensity one? the lowest? or take an average?
2. The intensities values are all relative to one particular peak,
arbitrarily set to intensity=1. Is that OK?
3. Some intensities are really low (e.g. 0.03). Are those important enough
to be included?
4. Finally, is there an advantage for using the intensities instead of
lower/upper distance bounds? Or vice-versa?
I'll greatly appreciate any help on this issue.
Thanks a lot!
