How to specify to PINE peaks that are known to arise from particular residue types: for example, from residue-selective labeling

 

 
 
  • Pine offers the ability to specify whether peaks are known to be from a particular residue type.
  • This is accomplished by including a labeling information file along with the other files uploaded to the PINE webserver.
  • The labeling information file must include all the 15N and 1H peaks from the particular residue type along with the amino acid name in the first column. If multiple residue choices are available for some 15N and 1H peaks, the information should be repeated for all residues (see example below). All the information should be included in a single file, even if you have done selective labeling for more than one residue  (see the example below)
  • Notice that if an NH peak is labeled with a specific residue type (ARG for example), it can only be assigned to an ARG residue in the protein.
  • Please make sure that the chemical shifts of the NH peaks in the labeling file are compatible with those in your HN HSQC file.
