AutoLink: automated sequential resonance assignment of biopolymers from NMR data by relative-hypothesis-prioritization-based simulated logic.
We have developed a new computer algorithm for determining the backbone resonance assignments for biopolymers. The approach we have taken, relative hypothesis prioritization, is implemented as a Lua program interfaced to the recently developed computer-aided resonance assignment (CARA) program. Our program can work with virtually any spectrum type, and is especially good with NOESY data. The results of the program are displayed in an easy-to-read, color-coded, graphic representation, allowing users to assess the quality of the results in minutes. Here we report the application of the program to two RNA recognition motifs of Apobec-1 Complementation Factor. The assignment of these domains demonstrates AutoLink's ability to deliver accurate resonance assignments from very minimal data and with minimal user intervention.
