Computer aided evaluation of two-dimensional NMR spectra of proteins.

A computer program for the automatic evaluation of two-dimensional NMR spectra of peptides and proteins has been developed. The used strategy is described, the advantages and limits of this approach are discussed. The program was successfully tested on a COSY-spectrum of the neuropeptide Glp-Pro-Pro-Gly-Gly-Ser-Lys-Val-Ile-Leu-Phe from hydra, resulting in a drastic reduction of the time needed for the evaluation of two-dimensional NMR data.
