Felix has a utility called "smx2mat" for doing exactly what you are
asking.  I have also seen some file filters at NMRFAM, Wisconsin.  You
might want to check it out.

Dear netters !

Does there exist a simple (free) program for converting Bruker SMX-files to
easier structured files (like MATLAB, or just matrix format). I don't need
to read all the parameters. It suffices to have the spectrum.

Thanx to anyone who replies !

ELECTRONIC GLYCOSCIENCE CONFERENCE-1
************************************
A form of this announcement is available via WWW at the URL:

http://bellatrix.pcl.ox.ac.uk/people/barry_spring95/barry.gig_econf.html


For those already registered:
This is a reminder post - if you have already pre-registered for 
EGC-1, thank you - you will receive, in due course, a character name 
and password for the Virtual Conference Centre from John Towell. 

For those who have not yet registered:
If you have not pre-registered, I would just remind you that you will 
not be able to take a full part in the conference unless you do 
pre-register. Even though the pre-registration deadline is some 
months away, it does help us to plan if we have as many people as 
possible pre-register now. The pre-registration form at the foot of 
this notice should be cut out and sent to me. Please use it if 
possible and fill it in in sentence case rather than upper case - 
this is so all forms are compatible and can be used automatically for 
username/password allocation - otherwise I have to do this manually. 
Also put country in the address and also country telephone code (in 
form, for example +43-1-47654-6065 (where 43 = Austria, 1 = Wien, 
etc)).

General Comments:
The First Electronic Glycoscience Conference (EGC-1) will be held on 
the Internet (the Net) and World Wide Web (the Web) from Sept 18 - Oct 
13, 1995.  This international conference will cover a broad range of 
disciplines related to carbohydrate and glycoconjugate molecules 
including chemical, physical, biological and medical areas using 
theoretical, experimental and computational approaches.  EGC-1     
will be a fully international event open to all members of
our scientific community.  It is our intent that EGC-1 will be an 
historic occasion from which we will move forward towards further 
annual conferences and virtual resource creation for The Glycosciences.
     Although the conference runs for what looks like a long period of time 
by traditional standards, it is anticipated that participants might 
often interweave the conference with other activities in their regular 
schedule and thus have the flexibility to come and go to the conference 
(flexi-conferencing).  Participants should realise that this 
event is experimental and they should we willing to attend with a 
spirit of exploration and adventure.  We believe that many 
glycoscientists will benefit from an exposure to methods that
will revolutionise how we do science research and how we communicate as
scientists.  Also, in addition to the presentation of technical scientific 
information and results, we will use specific measures to strongly encourage 
cross-disciplinary communication in language intelligible to general 
scientists.  For example, all technical papers will require an accompanying
communication explaining the primary methods, results and conclusions
of the paper in language accessible to a general scientific audience.  
During and after the conference we anticipate the formation of 
connections and cross-references between diverse areas of science and
technology in the Glycosciences.  
     Conference subject areas will include Glycosyltransferases, 
Glycoimmunology, Primary Structure Determination, Glycolipids,
Organic Synthesis,  Molecular Modeling, Design and Informatics, Lectins, 
Polysaccharides and Cellulose, Proteoglycans and Glycosaminoglycans,
Therapeutics, Carbohydrate Biotechnology, Glycobiology, Crystallography, 
NMR, Function of Carbohydrates in Biological Systems, 
and Perspectives.
     Papers will be prepared in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and 
participants will view the papers via the World Wide Web.  Aid and 
consultation will be provided to participants during summer '95 to help
newcomers to the Web in the presentation of their conference paper. 
During the conference discussions will take place via email using a 
Net-based electronic mailing list.  It is intended that papers will 
be refereed prior to publication in both traditional and electronic formats.  
In addition to a full technical paper authors will be required to
produce a shortened version of their paper that will summarize the 
main approaches, results and conclusions of their work in language 
accessible to all general scientists.  
     During EGC-1 participants will be able to register at a Virtual 
Conference Center (VCC) created by Gustavo Glusman and the administrators 
of BioMOO, a virtual meeting place for biologists, through Net-based 
telnet sessions into a Networked Virtual Environment.  There they will be 
able to use their own rooms, schedule and attend meetings, hold private 
talks, take and exchange notes, visit interactive poster sessions, 
trade exhibits and an employment centre, and socialise.
    During the conference participants will be able to contribute to
a collective creative project: The Glycoscience Hyperglossary (GH).
The GH will serve to define scientific terms and definitions of relevance
to the Glycosciences through the collective contribution of entries and
explanations to an electronic dictionary.  The GH will be then be 
published with the conference papers as an international information
resource subject to further refinement and evolution.

                    ********* :-) **********

EGC-1 -- Posters
****************

     The possibilites of presenting a poster at EGC-1 provide 
participants significant flexibility.  For example, a poster can
have very significant content when presented as a Web document and
can easily approach the depth of a real paper.  Also, a 'poster'
can be presented in the sense that a 'talk' is presented at a 
regular conference and can be accompanined by significant interactive
discussion.  The poster option also allows the alternative presentation of
material which authors have published elsewhere in the same
sense that material is presented at regular talks. If authors
have a concern over copyright conficts we encourage the
use of original Figures or the release of permission from publishers.
     We will retain abstracts of all posters as part of the permanent 
publication of EGC-1 and also offer the option at the end of the conference
of retaining a premanent record of the poster if the author(s) desire.
If authors have a concern over copyright conficts we encourage the
use of original Figures or the release of permission from publishers.

 "The difficulty in imagining the future
 comes from the fact that the important changes are not quantitative.
 The important changes are qualitative, not bigger and better rockets
 but new styles of architecture, new rules by which the game of
 exploration is played."

Announcement: Call prediction targets
=====================================

        The previous mail to this list announced the IRBM practical 
course: frontiers of protein structure prediction.

        The aim of the workshop is to predict as much as possible about 
the structure of a number of proteins of biological interest, taking 
advantage of the most recent methodologies for fold recognition and ab 
initio prediction.

        If you are interested in a structure prediction being made on a 
protein for which there is no sign of an experimental structure and does 
not appear to be homologous to any known structure, please consider 
submitting it as a target for this course.
 
For further information and on-line target submission forms see:

Is there a concensus on what are the "best" available
nmr structures? i.e. number of constraints highest and 
RMSD lowest?
What is the "best" that the constraints are available?
Is there a general "best" or best for X-plor and best for DIANA
or GROMOS etc...
Is best is geographically defined, i.e. the best in europe is 
different then the best solved/determined in the USA or is there just
one that is superior?
What are the creteria for the best (or even for better) nmr structure?
Is there a refference for low/medium/high classification of nmr structures?

Ofer,

> RMSD lowest?

High number of constraints and low rmsd are criteria for
good structures, but NOT ALONE. You sure can produce wrong structures with a  
large number of contraints and very low rmsds. Low rmsds can also be the result  
of the structure calculations protocol you use. It is a general agreement that  
the core of proteins in solution can be determined to very low rmsds, higher  
rmsds are however expected for the solvent exposed side-chains. The rmsd from  
the NOE restraints as well as the number of violations should also be low. You  
need to consider other criteria as well like the stereochemical quality of the  
structure (e.g. with PROCHECK). PROCHECK gives among other a classification of  
the structures based on the % of residues in the most favoured regions of the  
Ramachandran plot and on the chi1 dihedral angle- and hydrogen bond energy  
standard deviations. Good NMR structure in terms of # of restraints and rmsds  
should score well in PROCHECK as well. There is now a NMR version of PROCHECK  
taking the NOE restraints into account for the analysis (PROCHECK_NMR & AQUA).  
A first version was available and I don't know if it has been updated yet.

You can also directly compare the experimental NMR data with calculated data  
from your structures: NOEs (through R-factors), J-couplings and chemical  
shifts. There has been a lot of work on chemical shift calculations and the  
agreement between experimental and calculated data seem to be a good measure of  
the quality of the structure (a few recent references: J Biomol NMR 5 (1995)  
161; J Magn Reson B106 (1995) 92; J Mol Biol 247 (1995) 541)

> What is the "best" that the constraints are available?
> Is there a general "best" or best for X-plor and best for DIANA

There sure are differences in structures due to differences in protocols and  
software and I know that people have been looking at these (contact Ton  
Rullmann in Utrecht if he doesn't reply directly to your mail  
rull@nmr.chem.ruu.nl). 


A good test here would be to give the same NMR data to several groups, let them  
do their best and then compare the results, but who wants to start this...?

> Is best is geographically defined, i.e. the best in europe is

> one that is superior?

I hope you don't want to start an internet war...!

Dear Ofer Markman,

Many people are concerned with the quality of (protein) structure
determination.
There is of course no concensus among them and each uses his/her own criteria.
I am planning to make a little (PhD) study of this problem but find it very
hard too. Sofar I have encountered the following "quality" indicators:


Known for ages: 

Distance violations, RMSDs and number of constrains/residue. Cheating is very 
well possible; leaving out constrains, pairwise or average RMSD, no long range 
constrains.


More recently: 

The measures of normality. A good score is given to structures who differ 
little from structures found before (in crystals). A comparison can be made 
on several quantities like: Phi/Psi distributions, bond lengths/angles,
packing,
and volumes. 


I suggest you visit (http://www.embl-heidelberg.de:8400/) our validation group 
It is a European group of scientist who collaborate to gain more insight on 
what is a correct validation of the so divers structure determinations done 
in these days. From this site you can actually let your protein be checked.

Specially for NMR a package was develloped called PROCHECK_NMR by the London 
group. Later this year we (Utrecht) hope to release a package (AQUA) for 
automated checking of constrains and their violations.

If you have any further questions or comments I would like to hear them,

Jurgen

ENANTIOMER: Absolute Stereochemistry, Chiral Recognition and
Chiroptical properties

Editors-in-Chief: Volker Schurig, Chris Welch & Nobuyuki Harada

Associate Editors:
Alex F. Drake, Hiroyuki Nohira, Yoshio Okamoto, William H.
Pirkle, James P. Riehl, Arlette Solladie-Cavallo

It is with great pleasure that we announce the forthcoming
publication of a new Journal, ENANTIOMER, which will be dedicated
to all aspects of the chemistry and biochemistry of enantiomers.

ENANTIOMER is to be a well focused publication dedicated to the
chemistry and biochemistry of enantiomers. 
A major focus of ENANTIOMER is the preparation of enantiomers on
the basis of chiral recognition (chromatography using chiral
stationary phases, enantioselective host-guest complexation,
resolution or synthesis using chiral auxiliaries, resolution
based on the chiral crystalline field, enantioselective
synthesis, enzymatic and non-enzymatic kinetic resolution,
spontaneous enantioselective crystallization). Other topics
include methods for the quantitation of enantiomeric excess (GC,
HPLC, CE, NMR) and assignment of absolute configuration and
conformation (CD, ORD, X-ray crystallography, NMR).
Each issue will carry a short specialized review, up to 10
refereed papers and a selection of shorter communications or
"letters to the editor".  

Rapid peer review will be arranged by the Editors to reduce
publication time to a minimum. The submission of colour
photographs is encouraged, and these will be published free of
charge. 

Subscription information: ENANTIOMER (ISSN 1024-2430)
Volume 1 (4 issues) is due in 1996 and will be published by
Gordon and Breach Science Publishers.

*****************************************************************

Regulation of protease function has become an important strategy in
combating human disease, due in part to the ubiquity of protease
enzymes, but also because they are vulnerable to specific and
selective inhibition by relatively small molecules. There has been
an enormous increase in structural and activity data on proteases
and their inhibitors over the past several years. Evaluation of
similarities as well as differences in these systems allows us to
identify emerging trends and develop design strategies. An
increasing number of designed protease inhibitors are currently in
clinical and preclinical development, so now is also a good time to
assess the impact of computational approaches to studying these
biological systems on the efficiency of the drug discovery process.

This track will highlight the development and application of
computational tools for the discovery of inhibitors of clinically
relevant proteases within and across enzyme classes. Scientists who
have made significant contributions to research on ligand-protease
docking, dynamics simulations of ligand binding, the effects of
entropy, solvation or long-range electrostatics on binding,
prediction of binding modes and affinities, de novo design or
related areas are encouraged to submit abstracts or full papers.
Preference will be given to laboratories with experience in more
than one class of protease target, since a major aim of the track
is to compare and contrast strategies and structural features across
classes.

Note that original, unpublished research is required for this
symposium.

Details on the symposium can be found in the general announcement,
attached. If you are interested in submitting a paper or abstract for
this session, please contact:

The first Pacific Symposium on Biocompting (PSB), will be held January 3-6,
1996 in Hawaii.  PSB will bring together top researchers from North
America, the Asian Pacific nations, Europe and around the world to exchange
research results and address open issues in all aspects of computational
biology.  Replacing and extending the last three years of Biotechnology
Computing Tracks at the Hawaiian International Conference on System
Sciences, PSB will provide a forum for the presentation of work in
databases, algorithms, interfaces, visualization, modelling and other
computational  methods, as applied to biological problems, with emphasis on
applications in data-rich areas of molecular biology.  In addition, PSB
intends to attract a more balanced combination of computer scientists and
biologists by reducing some of the barriers to the attendence of biologists
reported by HICSS participants.

To provide focus for the very broad area of biological computing, PSB is
organized into a series of tracks, minitracks and workshops.  The tracks
identify the focus research topics for the meeting; minitracks are
opportunities for presentation of work in emerging research areas; and
workshops provide forums for discussions of significant infrastructure and
other non-research issues.  In addition, PSB offers two invited keynote
talks, an general paper track, poster and demonstration sessions, and plenty
of opportunity for informal public discussion.

All paper submissions will be rigorously peer-reviewed, and accepted papers
will be published in an archival proceedings volume.  Paper publication is
required for oral presentation.  Researchers wishing to present their
research without official publication are encouraged to submit an abstract
for the poster or demonstration sessions.

Important dates:

   Expression of interest to session chair:     immediate
   Paper submissions due:                       July 27, 1995
   Notification of paper acceptance:            September 11, 1995
   Final paper deadline                         October 2, 1995
   Early registration deadline                  October 2, 1995

Each track, workshop and minitrack has a chair who is reponsible for
organizing that session.  Please contact the specific session chair relevant
to your interests for further information.

Nice to see that someone has read my paper!  (which is on 13C shift
refinement)

We (Marius Clore and I) have been working on refinement of protien
structures against observed coupling constants and chemical shifts
for a year or two now.  There's another paper in press at JMR on
1H shift refinement.

Since this thread started with someone asking which structures are 
good, I'll give in to the temptation:

The best structure I've seen (judging by distance violations, # NOE
constraints, RMSD, 3JHnHa coupling agreements, 13C shift agreements, 
1H shift agreements, and PROCHECK Ramachandran stuff) is the structures
of reduced and oxidized human thioredoxin by Qin, Clore, and Gronenborn
(in Structure last year).

This is an important point.  The major difference between methods/
programs is in their nonbonded contact energy terms.  To be honest, 
I'm not sure why people use these various expressions.  

In general, NMR structures are determined with nonbonded contacts that
are too easily satisfied.  This leads to NMR structures' sidechains
not being as tightly constrained to the optimal rotamer values as
xray strucutres' are.  

It just so happens that we're working on a fix to this.

IRBM practical course: frontiers of protein structure prediction
----------------------------------------------------------------

FINAL CALL for applications  *** deadline is 1st July 1995 ***
===========================

Applications prefered by WWW form at: http://www.mrc-cpe.cam.ac.uk/predict/


The course is directed at young scientists with some experience and a
strong interest in protein structure and structure prediction who wish
to learn about the latest developments in the field.

        The aim of the workshop is to predict as much as possible about
the structure of a number of proteins of biological interest, taking
advantage of the most recent methodologies for fold recognition and ab
initio prediction.

        The participants will be divided into working groups assisted by
an instructor. Each group will be equipped with state of the art
software and hardware (kindly provided by Silicon Graphics) and assigned
the sequences of proteins whose structure has to be predicted.

        The predictions will be made public as a technical document and
also available via World Wide Web. Suggestions for target proteins can
also be submitted by non-participants via WWW (see accompanying email)

Colin Fyfe's book 'Solid State NMR for Chemists' is a good starting 
point. It's old enough to not have all the latest stuff, but is still an 
excellent basic introduction.

Dear all,
does anyone know about a good review on NMR
of solid state (or generally speaking, organized
systems)?
I have to write an introduction about NMR in a report,
and I don't know anything about this topic.
Any suggestion is welcome
Thank you.
