Input File Format

CS23D2.0 accepts and processes backbone and side chain 1H, 13C or 15N chemical shift data of almost any
combination (HA only, HN only, HA+HN only, HA+HN+sidechain H, CA only, CA+CB only, CA+CO only,
HA+CA+CB, HN+CA+CB, HN+15N only, HN,+15N+CA, HN+15N+CA+CB, etc.). This allows CS23D2.0 to
handle small peptides (where only H shifts are typically measured) to large proteins (where only N or C
shifts might be available).


The input file must include sequence data and chemical shift data either in BMRB STAR 2.1 (or 2.1.1)
format or SHIFTY format. The minimum sequence length is 3 residues. The maximum is 1000 residues.


FASTA sequence Format

Example #1:

>CS23:D|PDBID|CHAIN|SEQUENCE
LTLNANPLDATQSEDVVCPVFGTPRTCQIHGRSRELAK
                                        

Example #2:

LTLNANPLDATQSEDVVCPVFGTPRTCQIHGRSRELAK
                                    

BMRB Format

Support BMRB nmrstart2.1, 3.1, NMR Exchange Format(NEF) format.
Examples of allowable BMRB files (with and without different headers) are shown below:


Example #1: This is an example of a generic BMRB file extracted from the BMRB. The entire
file is ~500 lines, and only a portion is shown here. The header file is not important for CS23D2.0
data processing,only the chemical shift list (at the bottom of the file). CS23D2.0 ignores most (if
not all) of the header text.

Example #3: This is an example of the simplest BMRB format that CS23D2.0 accepts. Only the
chemical shift list is provided with no preceding data tags. The number of columns in this
example is 9.

Example #4: This is another example of a simplified BMRB format that CS23D2.0 also accepts.
The number of data columns in this example is 8. The minimum number of columns that
CS23D2.0 accepts is 8. If no data is available for the chemical shift error or ambiguity, these
values can be replaced by a period (as seen in this example).

Example #5: Here is another example of an acceptable BMRB format. In this situation the
“case” of the assignment loop is upper case (instead of the usual lower case). The number of
data columns is 9,even though the Author_seq_code and residue_seq_code are duplicated.

Example #6: In this example the data is presented in a tab-delimited format rather than
following the usual 3-character spacing found in most BMRB files. Comments have also been
added below the chemical shift assignment loop and above the data columns. This format
(and modest variations of it) is also accepted by CS23D2.0.

SHIFTY Format

The SHIFTY is a simplified chemical shift data entry format developed in the Sykes Lab in
1991 and is one of the more common “alternate” formats for chemical shift information.
Examples of allowable SHIFTY formats are shown below (note that any combination of shifts may
be listed in any order, just as long as the columns are labeled with a header). The first line header
is essential. The header can be matched to the column positions or it can be presented as a
single spaced row. Minimally a SHIFTY file must have 3 columns: a residue number column, the
single letter residue name column and a chemical shift column. Unmeasured or undetectable
chemical shifts can be entered as either 0.00 or – or *.

Example 2: Here is an example where only HA HN and N15 shifts are presented. The header
spacing is aligned with the columns in this case, although the alignment is not necessary. This is the minimal info format.
One of HA, CA, CO, CB must be provided.

where the # sign is replaced by “NUM” or “>” or “#NUM”:
