Hello Amarda--

  Your question seems to be a it off-topic for the VMD list. Next time
you might try the xplor-nih or cnsbb lists.

this syntax is described here:
http://nmr.cit.nih.gov/xplor-nih/doc/current/xplor/node356.html#SECTION001910000000000000000

this assignment describes a short-range NOE between the alpha proton and
one of the gamma protons (whose identity is ambiguous) on residue 1. The
nominal NOE distance is the first number, the second relates to the lower
bound on the distance, and the third specificies the upper bound.
