Hello Everyone,
First of all, I'm very grateful to the developers of this amazing program. I like the ccpnmr program. I have used it to assign the peaks (TOCSY and ROESY/NOESY) on my 12 amino acid long peptides.
I understand that there must be several discussions here which talk about the NOE peak integration. I tried to look for them, but I was lost while going through them. I'm sorry as I.m not very good at it.
I have assigned my peaks and now I want to integrate them to see how close the residues are. I am a novice at it, and the professors I work with have never used the ccpn to integrate NOESY peaks (proton-proton). I hope you guys can help me to get started with the NOE peak integration. I will be very grateful to all of you if you can help me with it. My adviser suggested me to use SPARKY. But, I think ccpnmr is a very good program and I can learn how to use it wisely rather than switching to a totally different program.
Please suggest me to how to get started with the NOE peak integration. I have tried to go to peak---> peak table. I see the assignments I made and it gives me height and volume of those peaks. I don't understand what these values are. I also columns which says merit (it is filled with 1.0) , fit method (parabolic) and vol. method. I want to figure out how strong or weak some NOE peaks are. I have heard that the peak volume can tell me how intense these peaks are. But, I can't comprehend the these volume numbers. What do they signify?
Please help me out. I will be very grateful to all of you for any help.
