Dear All,

Unlike most other programs we do not have (the equivalent of) a single
resonance for e.g. Lys HE*. I still think ours is the correct description.
Systems that are symmetric or in fast exchange, like CH3 or flipping
phenylalanine are degenerate, and get one resonance corresponding to
several protons.  Prochirals are not degenerate, they just happen to have
the same shift in one particular spectrum. I'd say that representing them
as two resonances with identical shifts describes the situation perfectly.
To be sure it does mean that you have to remember to assign all peaks as
ambiguous 'HE2 or HE3', or errors will creep in.

I preferred HE2/HE3 instead of HEa/HEb because it contains more
information. If the shifts really are identical you *do* know for certain
the shift of both stereoassigned protons. If you do not like it, you still
have the  option of assigning ambiguously to HEa/HEb, or to just HEa if
you are not sure they are both there. I am more open to argument on this
one, though.

We also considered another alternative: to remove HE* (etc.) from the
program completely. It does not correspond to the underlying information,
being just a shorthand for something else, and people tend to get tripped
up because it does not behave the way they expect.

Any suggestions?

Yours,

Rasmus
