In this tutorial we will
- determine how to calibrate NOE data to obtain distance restraints,
- derive a ligand bio-active conformation,
- introduce the NMR2 approach for protein-ligand 3D structure elucidation.
To this end we will use the software CYANA, NMR2, and excel (or similar)

CYANA Setup
Please follow the following steps carefully (exact Linux commands are given below; you may copy them to a terminal):
- Go to your home directory (or data directory).
- Get the data for the practical from the server (to come data.zip).
- Unpack the input data for the practical.
- Get the demo version of CYANA for this practical (or here CYANA webpage)
- Unpack CYANA.
- Go to the downloaded CYANA folder
- Test whether CYANA can be started by typing, './cyana'.
- If you are a mac user you may need to remove the safety quarantine
- Setup the CYANA environment variables.
- Go to the newly created directory 'data'.
- Test whether CYANA can be started by typing its name, 'cyana'.
- Exit from CYANA by typing 'q' or 'quit'.
cd "path"/cyana-3.98.15
#optional
sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine cyanaexe.macarm-gfortran
cd data

If all worked, you are ready to go in terms of everything related to CYANA! The reason you see the ERROR message, is because you have a sequence file in the directory, but not a library file for the ligand yet. Don't worry, this is as expected and you will take care of it during the exercise.
Hint: More information on the CYANA commands etc. is in the CYANA 3.0 Reference Manual.
Molecular viewer
You need also a molecular viewer capable of saving mol2 file
