Here, we present a protocol for exporting the resonance assignments of NOESY spectra from CCPNmr (v.2) into nmrDraw to obtain peak intensities. We then detail procedures for converting them into distances using either the CYANA- or MATLAB-based “exact NOE by relaxation matrix analysis” (eNORA) program. • Steps for peak picking in nmrDraw • Guidance on transferring resonance assignment from CCPNmr to nmrDraw peak list • Tutorial for fitting cross-peak buildups and diagonal decays in NOESY series • Instructions for extracting upper and lower distance limits using eNORA2 or CYANA Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.
