See text (Results and Discussion) for the description of each testing neural network.

b

Structural and dynamic factors used as inputs for the database search (SPARTA) or neural network (SPARTA+) training procedure. All factors are for all three residues of a given tripeptide (see Fig 1A). Parameters included and omitted in each input set are marked • and x, respectively.

c

NMR (secondary) chemical shifts used as the targets (outputs) of the database search (SPARTA) or neural network (SPARTA+) training procedure. The (secondary) NMR chemical shifts were obtained from the difference between the chemical shift δ and the random coil chemical shift δrc, after subtracting the corrections from neighboring residues (δneighbor), the contributions from ring current effects (δring), or electric fields (δEF).

d

Offsets and corrections, in addition to the random coil chemical shift δrc, applied to SPARTA or SPARTA+ predicted secondary chemical shift (Δδpred), i.e., the final SPARTA/SPARTA+ predicted chemical shifts.

e

RMS deviation between the predicted and experimental (obs) chemical shifts for eleven proteins which are not present in the SPARTA+ training database. For SPARTA+, the prediction performances for the validation datasets (see Methods) in the training database are provided in parentheses. For the SPARTA predictions, performances listed between brackets are those obtained for the 580-protein training database, but with the protein predicted excluded from this database,
