EN Resonance assignment remains one of the hardest stages in RNA tertiary structure elucidation with the use of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. We propose an evolutionary algorithm being a tool for an automatic design of the procedure. NOE pathway, which determines the assignments, is constructed during an analysis of possible connections between resonances within aromatic/anomeric region of 2D-NOESY spectra. Computational tests demonstrate the performance of the genetic algorithm in comparison with the enumerative procedure applied for the experimental and simulated spectral data for RNA molecules.
