Hi,

You have two options to start out:  traditional, or automated.

Traditional structure determination:

1.  Run your shift table through TALOS (http://spin.niddk.nih.gov/bax/ 
software/TALOS/index.html) to get backbone torsion angle restraints.
2.  Convert your assigned sparky NOE table to traditional xplor  
format.  Offhand, I don't know of a script to do this.
3.  Start with $xplor_dir/eginput/gb1_rdc/anneal.py.  Change  
filenames as needed, and comment out RDC-specific lines if you don't  
have RDC data available.
4.  Run with xplor -py anneal.py.
5.  Analysis scripts are run automatically, so you can see best  
structures, their average, reports on violated restraints, etc.
6.  Iterate, weeding out wrong NOESY assignments and adding in new  
assigned peaks.

Automated structure determination:

1.  Run your shift table through TALOS (http://spin.niddk.nih.gov/bax/ 
software/TALOS/index.html) to get backbone torsion angle restraints.
2.  Start with $xplor_dir/eginput/marvin/cvn/initMatch*tcl.  Change  
filenames as necessary.  Should be able to read sparky shift table  
and peak location table directly.
3.  Run TCL scripts in the directory as described in the README  
file.  Running on a cluster is highly recommended.
4.  Analysis scripts are run automatically.  Will select converged  
structures, produce mean coordinates, and report accuracy & precision.
5.  Convert high-likelihood peaks to traditional xplor format, for  
use in later refinement.

If you have the computational resources (a cluster of 30 linux PCs  
can run a structure of a ~100 residue protein in a day or so), I'd  
suggest the automated route to start with.
It begins with the shift table and unassigned NOESY peak location  
tables, so it's insensitive to any mistakes you might have made  
assigning your NOESY peaks.  It's not guaranteed to converge, of  
course, but it's attractive for beginners, because it's quite  
tolerant of various types of errors, gets you an answer quickly,  
produces detailed assessments of the likelihood of the possible  
assignments of each NOESY peak, and is reproducible.

So have a look at the scripts, decide how you want to proceed, and  
then we can answer your more specific questions.
