How to make a CCPN project with the FormatConverter

The FormatConverter can read your NMR data files (e.g. shifts, restraints) and make a CCPN project from them. Once your data is in a CCPN project, it is highly organised and its meaning unambiguous. It can also be directly used for deposition at the PDBe.

There are two main ways to access the FormatConverter

  • Web service: Requires a recent web browser.

    • Easy to use but only works for a limited set of formats
    • Cannot handle user interaction to clear up ambiguities in the data.
    • Documentation is available.

  • Local install: Requires Python2.5 (or later) and the Tkinter Tcl/Tk module.

    • The latest version is available from CCPN (use latest format2.x.y.tar.gz file).
    • Allows access to the full functionality, either via the graphical user interface or directly with Python scripts.
