The frequency shifts due to protein are the sum of the nearest neighboring frequency shifts and the shifts due to electrostatic contributions from all atoms constituting the local chemical environment of the protein (excluding the nearest neighbors). Peak frequencies are determined by adding the frequency shifts to the 13C18O-labeled amide I frequency with no external field.70
