An Empirical Correlation between Secondary Structure Content and Averaged Chemical Shifts in Proteins
Chemical shift values of more than 200 proteins obtained from the Biological Magnetic Resonance Bank are used to calculate averaged chemical shift (ACS) values, and secondary structure content (SSC) is estimated from the corresponding three-dimensional coordinates obtained from the Protein Data Bank. The results suggest that the correlation between ACS and SSC can be used to estimate secondary structure content and to monitor large-scale secondary structural changes in protein, as in folding studies.

Chemical shift index
This 13C chemical shift database uses backbone 13C data from the BMRB database to identify protein secondary structures.

PROSHIFT: Protein chemical shift prediction using artificial neural networks
A neural network was trained to predict the 1H, 13C, and 15N chemical shifts of proteins using their three-dimensional structure as well as experimental conditions as input parameters.

Protein structural class identification directly from NMR spectra using averaged chemical shifts
This article explores the possibility of determining the structural classes of proteins directly from their NMR spectra, prior to resonance assignment, using averaged chemical shifts.

RESCUE
This program was written to aid in the assignment of 1H NMR spectra by using neural network technology to locate groups of related amino acids, and then to identify individual amino acids within those groups.

RefDB
A database of uniformly referenced protein chemical shifts.

SHIFTY
This program is an aid in assiging the 1H and 13C NMR spectra. It does so by predicting the chemical shifts of unassigned proteins through an analysis of assigned chemical shifts for proteins with homologous sequences.
