ARIA - start a new project

Start a new ARIA project with NMRView data:

You can start directly with NMRView .xpk files for the NOE lists and NMRView chemical shift files. You have to specify in which order the heteronuclei and the proton frequencies can be found in the .xpk files. Thus, please take a look at your .xpk files first before filling out the following form. You have to specify in which of the 2, 3 or 4 ppm columns (counted from left to right and from 1 to 4) the heteronuclei and protons can be found (If you make a mistake here, all the assignments will be messed up!).

1. Edit the directory names:

For 2D spectra:
Your NMRView .xpk file should look like this:

Chemical shift file:
Your NMRView chemical shift file should look like this:

 17.N      122.016 1
 17.HN       8.440 1
 17.CA      56.335 1
 17.HA       4.383 1
 17.CB      30.890 1
 17.HB2      1.795 2
 17.HB1      1.700 2
 17.HD2      3.207 2
 17.C      176.870 1

Sequence file:
You have two possibilities:

use a CNS sequence file which should only contain amino acids in 3-letter code (with spaces or linebreaks as dividers) like that: ASP GLU GLY TRP

use a PDB file

Some more general comments:

The segid must have 4 characters or must be blank.
You have to specify absolute paths for all files and directories.
Don't use pathnames with more than 80 characters (otherwise CNS will complain).
Unused fields should be blank.
Always be careful and take a look at the generated .tbl files in the corresponding spectrum directory.

Start a new ARIA project with NMRView data:

1. Edit the directory names:

2. Please save the updated parameters somewhere in a directory as new.html:

3. Type ARIA on the UNIX command line in that directory where you have saved your new.html.
