Chemical Shift Index (Secondary structure of Amino Acids)

The formation of the chemical shift index is a method to determine the secondary structure of proteins from the chemical shifts of backbone atoms. It is based on the chemical shifts listed in the following table (+- 0.7ppm). The following simple rules are applied: 1 is assigned if the measured chemical shift is greater than …
