**NMR spectroscopy calculations for protein structures**

A lightweight, standalone Python package for calculating NMR observables from protein structures. Originally extracted from the [synth-pdb](https://github.com/elkins/synth-pdb) package to provide a focused toolkit that works with any protein structure source.

**[Read the full documentation here!](https://elkins.github.io/synth-nmr/)**

## Features

- **NOE Calculations**: Synthetic NOE distance restraints
- **Relaxation Rates**: R1, R2, and heteronuclear NOE predictions
- **Chemical Shifts**: Integrates to SHIFTX2 predictions with SPARTA+ empirical fallback
- **J-Couplings**: Karplus equation for scalar couplings
- **RDC Calculations**: Prediction of residual dipolar couplings
- **MD Trajectory / Ensemble NMR**: S², ensemble-averaged shifts, NOEs (r⁻⁶), and RDCs from NMR ensembles or MD trajectories
- **NEF I/O**: Read and write NMR Exchange Format files
- **Secondary Structure**: Automatic classification for enhanced predictions

## Interactive Tutorials

## Installation

```bash
pip install synth-nmr
```

For improved performance with JIT compilation:
```bash
pip install synth-nmr[performance]
```

For MD trajectory / ensemble NMR analysis:
```bash
pip install synth-nmr[trajectory]
```

## Command-Line Interface

`synth-nmr` provides a command-line interface for common tasks, allowing you to perform calculations directly from your terminal.

### Usage

You can run `synth-nmr` CLI commands directly or enter an interactive mode.

#### Non-Interactive Mode

Execute commands by passing them as arguments to the `synth_nmr.synth_nmr_cli` module:

```bash
python -m synth_nmr.synth_nmr_cli <command> [arguments]
```

**Examples:**

1.  **Read a PDB file and calculate RDCs:**
    ```bash
    python -m synth_nmr.synth_nmr_cli read pdb protein.pdb calculate rdc 10.0 0.5
    ```

2.  **Read a PDB file and predict chemical shifts:**
    ```bash
    python -m synth_nmr.synth_nmr_cli read pdb protein.pdb predict shifts
    ```

3.  **Read a PDB file and calculate J-couplings:**
    ```bash
    python -m synth_nmr.synth_nmr_cli read pdb protein.pdb calculate j-coupling
    ```

#### Interactive Mode

To enter interactive mode, run the CLI without any arguments:

```bash
python -m synth_nmr.synth_nmr_cli
```

Once in interactive mode, you will see a `SynthNMR>` prompt. Type `help` to see available commands:

```
SynthNMR> help
Commands:
  read pdb <filename>
  calculate rdc [Da] [R]
  predict shifts
  calculate j-coupling
  exit
SynthNMR> read pdb protein.pdb
SynthNMR> calculate rdc 10.0 0.5
SynthNMR> exit
```

### Available Commands

-   `read pdb <filename>`: Loads a protein structure from the specified PDB file. This command must be executed before any calculation commands.
-   `calculate rdc [Da] [R]`: Calculates Residual Dipolar Couplings.
    -   `Da`: (Optional) Axial component of the alignment tensor in Hz (default: 10.0).
    -   `R`: (Optional) Rhombicity of the alignment tensor (dimensionless) (default: 0.5).
-   `predict shifts`: Predicts chemical shifts using SPARTA+ with ring current corrections.
-   `calculate j-coupling`: Calculates ³J(HN-Hα) couplings using the Karplus equation.
-   `help`: (Interactive mode only) Displays a list of available commands.
-   `exit`: (Interactive mode only) Exits the CLI.

## Quick Start

```python
import biotite.structure.io as strucio
from synth_nmr import (
    calculate_synthetic_noes,
    calculate_relaxation_rates,
    predict_chemical_shifts,
    calculate_hn_ha_coupling,
    calculate_rdcs
)

# Load a protein structure
structure = strucio.load_structure("protein.pdb")

# Calculate NOEs
noes = calculate_synthetic_noes(structure, cutoff=5.0)

# Predict relaxation rates
relaxation = calculate_relaxation_rates(
    structure,
    field_strength=600.0,  # MHz
    temperature=298.0,      # K
    correlation_time=5.0    # ns
)

# Predict chemical shifts
shifts = predict_chemical_shifts(structure)

# Calculate J-couplings
j_couplings = calculate_hn_ha_coupling(structure)

# Predict RDCs
rdcs = calculate_rdcs(
    structure,
    Da=10.0, # Axial component of alignment tensor (Hz)
    R=0.5    # Rhombic component of alignment tensor
)
```

- Python ≥ 3.8
- NumPy ≥ 1.20
- Biotite ≥ 0.35.0
