Abstract:The Collaborative Computing Project for NMR was started in the year 2000 to create data standards and improve the interoperability of software for biomolecular NMR. The primary means of achieving NMR data standardisation was the creation of the CCPN Data Model. The model is an abstract description of the data entities in NMR and closely related scientific disciplines.Using the data model and its API libraries, CCPN has authored its own programs, collectively known as the CcpNmr suite for resonance assignment, NMR data analysis, format conversion and structure generation. These programs are used worldwide by over a thousand users.

Most recently the initial development of version 3 of the CcpNmr suite has led to new, user-friendly applications SpecView and ChemBuild. These are the first CCPN programs to use an entirely new graphical system based on the modern, multi-platform Qt libraries.

CcpNmr ChemBuild is a graphical tool to construct chemical compound definitions for NMR. While there are many chemical structure drawing packages available ChemBuild was especially created to handle concepts like protonation variants and magnetic equivalence which are required for NMR resonance assignment. Several different chemical file formats are supported, including PDB, .mol and .mol2, but ChemBuild is special in its ability read and write CCPN chemical component XML files, which store NMR-aware information.
