Benchmark types:

• Basic: Structure calculation of a protein with 114 amino acid residues, 1737 NOE distance restraints, 110 torsion angle restraints. 50 conformers are calculated using 4000 torsion angle dynamics steps per conformer.

• Auto: Structure calculation with automated NOESY assignment of a protein with 114 amino acid residues, 4732 NOESY cross peaks, 88 torsion angle restraints. 8 x 100 = 800 conformers are calculated using 10000 torsion angle dynamics steps per conformer.

• Test suite: Complete CYANA 3.0 test suite, comprising the 'basic' and 'auto' calculations, as well as structure calculations for homodimers, structure calculations using RDCs, pseudocontact shifts, etc.
