Considering that you may have difficulties in measuring 13C pulses 
directly I think it would be an acceptable approximation.  However, make 
it sure that tuning of each channel are as close as possible to the 
optimum each case.

Actually 360 is better to check than the 180 in my opinion.  It usually 
shows a quite clean zero transition, and you will not have to worry about 
relaxation delays as much (provided you're scanning in the neighborhood 
of the 360).

Dear audience,

* Suppose I am find that the pulse width of H1 (H2O) is 10 us, and that
of C13 is 20 us with a particular sample and probe). 

If I find that the H1 pulse width (H2O) is 15 us with ANOTHER sample
(e.g., a 'salty' solution), what is the pulse width of C13 in that
sample?

Is it reasonably to use a pulse width of 20*15/10=30 for C13 with that
sample? Suppose that the C13 concentration is so low in sample 2 that
it is not feasible to measure it directly (that's of course why I am

curious...

I am Ron Trolard with Cambridge Isotopes.  This is my first posting.
I am interested in 3d dynamic experiments which may require 13C 20% ,15N 98%
enriched substrates/precursors. Thses would yield proteins that would
have 20% of the possible C sites labeled with 13C  NOT 20% of the proteins 
uniformly labeled with 13C. This would reduce the # of carbons 13C in the molecule that have another 13C as nearest neighbor and should simplify the math used to intrepret the dynamics.  
The substrates we are considering are amino acids, nucleosides and growth media
if these would be useful let me know which ones and the enrichment levels.
thanks

I think they use Janet Thornton's PROCHECK - at least for geometry
checking. This program starts with a cleanup of the coordinate files.
Info about PROCHECK is somewhere on the PDB gopher server.

I think that the answer to your question depends upon the type of probe.

If it is an inverse or triple resonance probe, then the 13C tuning is usually
much LESS SENSITIVE to the sample conditions than the 1H coil (the 13C coil is
outside the 1H coil in these probes).  

We find little change in the 13C or 15N pulse lengths between samples of 0 - 500
mM NaCl with a Varian 5 mm triple resonance probe.  Therefore, you are probably
better off not changing the 13C pulse lenghts, despite what happens with 1H.

Good luck,

If you measure the 90 pulse width through a 360 you'll get a shorter value 
than doing it through a 180. The reason is that relaxation starts after you
begin irradiating your sample with your first pulse, and not at the end of
it.
To me the best 90 pulse is extrapolating the correction due to the relaxation
measuring both 360 and 180 pulses. This is especially true for longer 90 pulses
i.e. 13C pulses.

Cheers,

Paolo Catasti

We are interested in your requirements for deuterated buffers.  We have the
following currently available:

Tris (hydroxymethyl)methylamine

dodecylphosphocholine (DPC)
N-tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl)glycine  (tricine)

We have been requested to make these and would like to have a consensus on their 
utility since they do take time and effort to synthesize.
MES, HEPES, CHAPS, KHP, Sarcosine.

In order to perform Distance Geometry (DG) calculation, DIANA, 
with cytochrome, the program needs Non-standard amino acid, HEME,
in the library. In anycase, I would appreciate for any suggestion.

Thanks

Dear Sir,

I have heard about XPLOR program but I've never used it.
Is there a possibility to calculate solution structures using the
structural infomation (NOESY) of NMR experiments as an input? 
This would be great if you can give general information and 
how to get the program. 

Thanks for your consideration
Thep

Has any one out their in internet land used the time averaged constraints
function in XPLOR. I've tried several MD runs changing different parameters. 
Howver, all of my dynaics simulations appear to be exactly the same regard
less of the value of TAU etc.

Somebody please send me an example input file. This problem is slowly driving

XPLOR is it.
Xplor (developed by Axel Brunger, Yale from the CHARMM molecular mechanics
package (brooks, et al)) is a molecular mechanics (dynamics minimisation...)
package for biological macromolecules. Besides the standard MM thngs it can
do it has been developed for refinement od structures (from X-ray and NMR)
 
It has become the de Facto standard for X-ray crysallographic refinements, 
but is not that videly used by NMR people. However it has everything
in it that you aver need (I think so but I've not really used it).
It has distance geometry methods as well as MD-refinement protocols.
It has backcalculation possibilities (of NOE intensities) I guess you
could do something like DIANA in it to. 

It is availabale as a commercial prodoct from MSI (hotline@msi.com)
and as an academic package from Brunger (brunger@newton.biology.yale.edu)

This is addressed to anyone out there still using a GE-Omega 500.

Our spectrometer has the original GE-console, and we use a GE 
high resolution proton probe (5MARKII) for homonuclear spectroscopy.  
After more than five years of reasonably successful (but not trouble-free) 
data collecting, our probe has developed an arcing problem which 
occurs only when the proton decoupler channel (f2) is used as the XMTR 
(as in spin-lock experiments, or simply the `f2puls' experiment).  
We were told that the power (dlev and slev) we used in hohahaphy 
experiments was too high.  So we would appreciate some feed-back 
from other groups doing protein nmr with a similar setup.  What are 
`typical' gamma*H2 values used for hohaha and roesy experiments - 
and how is gamma*H2 related to the spectral width (sw) in each case?  
We've been using gamma*H2 values of about 2sw for hohaha and sw for roesy. 
Any relevant references would be helpful.
Thanks.

	 **** How to cancel a BIOSCI e-mail subscription ****

If you want to cancel your e-mail subscription to this group, 
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR UNSUBSCRIBE REQUEST TO THE NEWSGROUP ADDRESS
(NOR REPLY TO A MESSAGE POSTED TO THE NEWSGROUP)!!!

This would send your request to all of the readers of the newsgroup,
but it might still not be seen by the BIOSCI staff - thus you would
annoy many people and possibly not accomplish your goal anyway.

IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN THE AMERICAS OR PACIFIC RIM COUNTRIES, please
send a message to

biosci@net.bio.net

Instructions will be returned automatically, so the contents of your
message do not matter.

IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN EUROPE, AFRICA OR CENTRAL ASIA, please send a
message to

MXT@dl.ac.uk

containing the word 

help

in the body of the message to retrieve e-mail server instructions.
Any text placed on the Subject: line of your message will be ignored,
so be sure to put the "help" command in the body of the message.

If you need personal assistance, a BIOSCI staff member can be
contacted at either of the following addresses.  Please contact the
address designated for your location.

		 **** SEARCHING BIOSCI ARCHIVES ****

The easiest way to search the BIOSCI archives is to use gopher
software and connect over the Internet to net.bio.net, the U.S. BIOSCI
computer.  We maintain three indexes which are searchable from the
main gopher menu on net.bio.net: (1) an index of all BIOSCI postings;
(2) an index of individual journal article references from the Table
of Contents postings on the BIO-JOURNALS newsgroup; and (3) an index
of BIOSCI users including regular mail and e-mail addresses, phone/FAX
numbers, research interests, and newsgroup participation.

E-mail users can search the BIOSCI archives by using our waismail
e-mail server.  For instructions send the message

help

to waismail@net.bio.net.  Leave the Subject: line blank (anything
entered on the Subject: line is ignored).

WAIS software can also be used to search the archives as described in
the BIOSCI FAQ (see below).

Finally, the BIOSCI archive files are accessible by anonymous FTP to
net.bio.net [134.172.2.69] in the directory pub/BIOSCI.


       **** BIOSCI FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) SHEET ****

New users of BIOSCI/bionet may want to read the "Frequently Asked
Questions" or "FAQ" sheet for BIOSCI.  The FAQ provides details on how
to participate in these forums and is available for anonymous FTP from
net.bio.net [134.172.2.69] in pub/BIOSCI/doc/biosci.FAQ or for
retrieval by gopher to net.bio.net, port 70.  It may also be requested
by sending the command

info faq

in the body of an e-mail message to the Internet address
biosci-server@net.bio.net.  Please do not enter the info faq command
on the Subject: line of your message since the e-mail server ignores
text on the Subject: line.

The FAQ is also posted on the first of each month to the newsgroup
BIONEWS/bionet.announce immediately following the posting of the
BIOSCI information sheet.


	       **** BIOSCI USER ADDRESS DIRECTORY ****

Please take this opportunity to add your name and address information
to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so.

Below is the address form that we would like each reader of the
BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups to complete and return if you would like to
be listed in our database.  The database serves as a directory that
enables biologists, who are currently using (or even just reading) the
BIOSCI newsgroups, to look up e-mail addresses and other information
about our users.

The address database is reindexed nightly for WAIS, waismail, and
gopher access.  If you have access to gopher, connect to net.bio.net
to search the database.  If you have access to WAIS, please use our
WAIS source biologists-addresses.src.  If you are not on the Internet,
please use our waismail server (send the word "help" to
waismail@net.bio.net to get instructions; any text on the Subject:
line of your message will be ignored, so put the help command in the
body of the mail message.).

Please carefully follow the instructions for completing the form
below and return it to either of the following two addresses
(whichever is more convenient for you).  Thanks in advance for taking
the time to complete and return the form.

Please do NOT extend your responses past the end of each line (80
characters).

PLEASE DO NOT alter any of the field identifiers such as "first name: ". 
If you have nothing to enter after a field identifier, PLEASE LEAVE IT
- do not delete it even if there is no data on the line in question.

Several lines are provided at the end of the form for comments, but,
please adhere to the line length restriction.

On the date: line, please enter the date in the DD-MM-YY format, e.g.,
15-05-93 for 15 May 1993.  This line will tell others when the
information was last updated.  Please be sure to include the 0's for
single digit days or months, e.g., 15-05-93, not 15-5-93.

Note that the "e-mail network: " line below is for specifying, e.g.,
"Internet," "BITNET," "EARN," "JANET," or whatever other network that
your computer may be on.

If you are uncertain about any field, please feel free to leave it

In the first field below, "New information or Update ...", please
enter "N" if this is the first time that you have registered in the
directory or "U" if you are correcting a listing that you sent to us
previously.

The comment: lines may be used for anything that you like but PLEASE
DO NOT DELETE THEM FROM THE FORM OR ALTER THEM.  One suggested use is
to list the names of the newsgroups in which you participate.  Please
use the MAILING LIST name (see below - the latest version of the list
can be requested from biosci@net.bio.net) instead of the USENET name
even if you don't participate by e-mail.  WAIS might get confused by
the periods in the USENET names.  This allows one to retrieve via WAIS
or waismail the list of participants in a particular group.

For example:

comment: ARABIDOPSIS PLANT-BIOLOGY BIONEWS

On the comment: lines
use these names below ---- NOT the USENET names below

I am posting the following for a friend who does not have access to internet.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The system is a mixture of two phosphene-nickel compounds. 
(Structres not necessarily the exact ones he has.)

              ___/            ____/
             /   \           /    \
            P1   P2         P1    P2

            \____/           \____/  
            /    \  

There is ligand exchange between, e.g., P3-P4 and P5-P6. He has got the
NOESY volumes from a P31-NOESY experiment. Now the questions:

Does anybody out there has any experience in analysing this kind of
chemical exchange systems using NOESY data? (He wants to get the exchange
rates.) Are there any programs available to do so?

Thanks in advance.

Hello:

I am looking for the names of manufactures of good plastic atomic model
parts, specifcally to build DNA and protein models for teaching and 
hands-on molecular graphics.

Any advice?

Thanks,
