NMR-STAR 2.1

NMR-STAR chemical shifts loop begins with loop_, followed by list of column names (loop tags), followed by data rows (table of space-separated values, one atom per line), and ends with stop_. Empty data values are denoted by a dot. Comments start with '#' (hash) and continue to end of line.

NMR-STAR 2.1 tags for chemical shifts loop are

_Atom_shift_assign_ID row number
_Residue_seq_code residue sequence code
_Residue_label residue label
_Atom_name atom name
_Atom_type atom type
_Chem_shift_value chemical shift value
_Chem_shift_value_error chemical shift value error
_Chem_shift_ambiguity_code chemical shift ambiguity code

Example:

loop_
	_Atom_shift_assign_ID
	_Residue_seq_code
	_Residue_label
	_Atom_name
	_Atom_type
	_Chem_shift_value
	_Chem_shift_value_error
	_Chem_shift_ambiguity_code

CSV: comma-separated values

This format is also known as "Comma-Delimited File" (CDF). Many spreadsheet programs and databases can import files in this format.

Like NMR-STAR, this is a 2-D table format. Each line is a row of the table. Columns (data values) are delimited with commas (,). Text strings are enclosed in double-quotes ("). First line contains column headers, following lines contain values. Column headers are NMR-STAR loop tags.

Example (note that long lines may be wrapped by your browser):
