25. The 1983 recommendations [21] specified the use of numbers to designate atoms and the use of the R/S rules of Cahn, Ingold & Prelog ([25, 26], see also [27-29]) to define stereochemistry. According to the R/S rules, a tetrahedral carbon X with prochiral substituents A>B>C = C′ (where the priority is according to decreasing atomic mass and C and C have equivalent mass and are labeled arbitrarily) is labeled as follows: one sights down the A-X axis and assumes that C takes precedence over C (as it would if it were replaced, for example, with a heavier isotope). Then, if B, C′, and C (projecting away from the viewer) are clockwise, C′ is labeled as pro-R and C is labeled as pro-S; if they are counterclockwise, C′ is labeled as pro-S and C is labeled as pro-R.

32. Since the experimental NOEs involve distances to the individual protons rather than to the reference point of the pseudoatom, NOE distance constraints involving pseudoatoms must contain a correction factor. A conservative and straightforward approach is to set these corrections equal to the distance between the reference point of the pseudoatom and the protons that it replaces. Tables listing these corrections for the common amino acid residues have been published [30, 33] as well as more refined corrections (for example, see [32, 34]).
