Description

Calibrates a peak list, i.e. derives upper limit distance restraints from all assigned peaks and adds them to the list of current distance restraints. Optionally, only peaks with volume larger than vmin or from a peak list with given filename (without extension) may be considered. Peaks are classified into three calibration classes:

 Class        Peaks/restraints                Function
 backbone     HN/HA - HN/HA,                   V = A/d^6
              HN/HA - HA (|i-j|  5)
 sidechain    not "backbone" and not "methyl"  V = B/d^4
 methyl       all involving methyl groups      V = C/d^4

The parameters A, B and C are either given by the user (A = bb, B = sc, C = methyl), or calculated automatically using the function calscale to determine A by assuming an average distance avedis for the restraints in the class "backbone" and setting B = A/upl_values(1) and C = B/3.

Optionally, the resulting distance restraints may be given a relative weight, and a logarithmic plot of volumes versus corresponding minimal distances in the selected structures can be written.
