| With the advent of structural genomics, the need for fast structural information about unknown proteins has increased. We describe a new methodology, based on 13C, 15N and ¹H chemical shift dispersion to predict the amount of secondary structure of unassigned proteins from their 15N- and/or 13C-edited heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) spectra. This methodology has been coded into a software called PASSNMR (Prediction of the Amount of Secondary Structure by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance), which can be accessed directly from the Internet. PASSNMR program is a powerful tool for screening proteins for proteomic or structural genomic investigations when used with recent methodologies that take advantage of the use of the antibiotic rifampicin to... |
