ssnmr
ssnmr contains functions related to nuclear magnetic resonance. Unlike the SSTrajectory and SSProtein code, SSNMR contains stateless functions that can take a sequence or an SSProtein object and return some observable.

- soursop.ssnmr.compute_random_coil_chemical_shifts(protein_sequence, temperature=25, pH=7.4, use_ggxgg=True, use_perdeuteration=False, asFloat=True)[source]
Function that predicts the random coil chemical shifts for user-provided amino acid sequence corrected for user-provided conditions. Specifically, chemical shift and general sequence correction factors are from [1], temperature corrections and glycine corrections are from [2] and the underlying methods associated with correction-factor calculations are in [3]. The correction factors for pertdeuteration are from [4].
Input sequence can be a standard one-letter sequence, but phosphoresidues can also be included (see examples). Code is based on JavaScript written by Alex Maltsev at the NIH and can be accessed here [5]
- Parameters:
sequence (str) – The sequence of representative abbreviations for the sequence of amino acids
temperature (float or int) – Experiment temperature of the sample of amino acids for use in corrected chemical shift calculations (note units are in degrees celcius). Default value is 25 and should be between 0 and 100.
pH (float or int) – pH of the sample of amino acids for use in corrected chemical shift calculations. Default value us 7.4 and should be between 0 and 14.
use_ggxgg (bool) – Whether to use GGXGG-based neighbor correction for glycines. Default is True.
use_perdeuteration (bool (default = False)) – Whether perdeuterated correction factors should be used. Note this cannot work with phosphoresidues.
- asFloatbool (default = True)
Whether to populate output dictionaries with float or string variables containing chemical shift numbers. False (strings) by default.
- Returns:
output – List containing a dictionary for each amino acid in the provided sequence detailing abbreviation and chemical shifts for the main six different atoms.
- Return type:
list of dict
