    Notes: Summary A computational method is described that takes an initial estimate of the chemical shifts, line widths and scalar coupling constants for the protons in a molecule, and refines this estimate so as to improve the least-squares fit between an experimental COSY spectrum and the spectrum simulated from these parameters in the weak-coupling approximation. In order to evaluate the potential of such refinements for estimating these parameters from COSY experiments, the method has been applied to a large number of sample problems which were themselves simulated from standard conformations of the amino acids, along with 25 near-native conformations of the protein bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor. The results of this evaluation show that: (i) if the chemical shifts are known to within ca. 0.01 ppm and no noise or artifacts are present in the data, the method is capable of recovering the correct coupling constants, starting from essentially arbitrary values, to within 0.1 Hz in almost all cases. (ii) Although the precision of these estimates of the coupling constants is degraded by the limited resolution, noise and artifacts present in most experimental spectra, the large majority of coupling constants can still be recovered to within 1.0 Hz; the local minimum problem is not made significantly worse by such defects in the data. (iii) The method assigns an ‘effective’ line width to all the resonances, and in the process can resolve overlapping cross peaks. (iv) The method is not capable of determining the chemical shifts a priori, due to the presence of numerous local minima in the least-squares residual as a function of these parameters.
