title: Advances in automated NMR protein structure determination.
abstract: Around half of all protein structures solved nowadays using solution-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy have been because of automated data analysis. The pervasiveness of computational approaches in general hides, however, a more nuanced view in which the full variety and richness of the field appears. This review is structured around a comparison of methods associated with three NMR observables: classical nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) constraint gathering in contrast with more recent chemical shift and residual dipole coupling (RDC) based protocols. In each case, the emphasis is placed on the latest research, covering mainly the past 5 years. By describing both general concepts and representative programs, the objective is to map out a field in which--through the very profusion of approaches--it is all too easy to lose one's bearings.
