It would be helpful to know at least the program you are using. May be there are more elegant ways than given in #4. 2. That you experience resolution problems is not surprising: you use bitmap formats in all the approaches you describe. 3. Using WINNMR 1D (for WINDOWS, not for Mac) would give you a copy function in the EDIT menu to put ready layouted plots from the preview-editor into the clipboard. They come as windows metafiles (WMF). That lets you resize and redraw in ANY text processor or third party application that can read from the clipboard. 4. In case of no WINNMR: WINDOWS itself has a screendump function on board. This is little known, but try PrintScreen(whole screen) or Alt-PrintScreen (active window only) and look into the clipboard. Thus, if you can manage to visualise on screen what you want to plot, you can screenshot it into the clipboard and from there into your text processor. best regards Michael T Grzonka Product Manager Spectroscopic Information Systems Chemical Concepts GmbH // Tel. +49 6201 606 433 Boschstr. 12 // FAX +49 6201 606 430 D-69469 Weinheim -Germany- // For more information on I*SEE, the Integrated Structure Elucidation Environment, please e-mail to - i.see@cc.vchgroup.de For more information on or the help desk of SpecInfo Online on STN International please e-mail to - online@cc.vchgroup.de From owner-structural-nmr@net.bio.net Mon Dec 04 22:00:00 1995 Path: biosci!MOLE.BIO.CAM.AC.UK!mjh2 From: mjh2@MOLE.BIO.CAM.AC.UK ("Mark J Howard ", Biochemistry) Newsgroups: bionet.structural-nmr Subject: PE.COSY Date: 5 Dec 1995 02:50:19 -0800 Organization: BIOSCI International Newsgroups for Molecular Biology Lines: 23 Sender: daemon@net.bio.net Distribution: world Message-ID: Reply-To: "Mark J Howard (Biochemistry)" NNTP-Posting-Host: net.bio.net Could anybody help me save some time?

I can't provide you with a Varian pulse sequence, but I would like to direct your attention to some more references (you might know them already): M.Rance, G.Bodenhausen, G.Wagner, K.Wüthrich, R.R.Ernst: J.Magn.Reson. 62, 497-510 (1985). G.Otting: J.Magn.Reson. 86, 496-508 (1990). In this experiment the position of the 180 degree pulse in the mixing time (and thus the effective time - t(zq) - for which ZQC evolves) is varied systematically. The papers above describe how to choose the optimum set of t(zq) values. In my experience, the best results are obtained by choosing a set of equi- distant t(zq) values in the range from 0 to t(zq)max, but with only half as many scans recorded for 0 and t(zq)max as for the other t(zq) values. This is the approach suggested by Otting, as far as I remember. One way of implementing this would be to use an array of e.g. eight t(zq) values: 0, t, t, 2t, 2t, 3t, 3t, 4t; where t = t(zq)max/4.

We routinely make figures from NMR data on our SGIs using CorelDraw, which is primarily a PC program. Simply make an HPGL plot, import it into Corel, scale it to suit, add labels, titles etc. and print it. Depending on the original plot, sometimes the lines appear too thick but it is a simple matter to fix that in CorelDraw. Actually, we can't print directly from Corel, so we export the figures as .eps files. .ai files are another option. Either of these should go into word processing programs easily. We wp on Macs, but Word should be pretty similar.

In any of my projects, I'd prepare a fully protonated sample as well for sensitivity reasons. Besides, we all know that it is not only the quality of distance constraints that matters, but also the sheer number. Having a double-labelled sample, hunting for more assignable NOEs, rather than trying to get better quantitation might be more effective.

You may want to measure, with a gaussmeter or magnetometer, the varying levels of field strength at different distances from the magnet. You could then make a plot of the data (or use bright colored tape to mark the floor) which would give you an indication of the relative magnetic field at given distances from the magnet. This is useful to then determine how close you would want to allow certain objects to the magnet. For example, magnetic recording media should brought no further than the 10 gauss limit, magnetic gas cylinders; 5 gauss, etc. Regarding health hazards, I've been working around NMR magnets for about 20 years and have not mutated :-) yet. As far as published data on this subject, I'm not sure what is available, but you may find material existing somewhere. Best regards, Jon Webb M R Resources, Inc.

There are different strengths of magnets from 1,500 to 200,000 gauss (0.15 to 20 tesla). A radiofrequency (RF) pulse pulls the nuclei from equilibrium in the static magnetic field. Research NMRs are more powerful than medical devices but their fields are focused and fall off quickly, therefore it is easier to provide personnel protection. To a lesser extent the same provisions and precautions apply to electron spin resonance devices. When installing a new NMR some factors must be considered. The weight of an instrument in the order of several tons and requires that it be placed in an area with substantial structural support. If the structural support includes steel beams or steel reinforced concrete, these ferromagnetic materials may have an effect on the magnetic field. The device should not be located near sources of RF such as heavy motors or relays. Personnel must be instructed on the hazards associated with an NMR unit. Warnings: The magnet of a spectrometer is always at field. Strong fields are produced outside the magnet; therefore, no movable metal objects should be allowed within 3 meters of the instrument. Small, sharp metal objects flying towards the magnet are highly dangerous. Larger objects (watch that floor polisher!) are troublesome to scrape off the magnet, and can seriously damage the magnet. Magnetic fields may affect heart pacemakers. Demand-type pacemakers may be switched to basic rate pacing. Persons fitted with pacemakers should not come closer than 3 m of the center of the magnet. A recent publication suggests that long term cumulative large exposures to oscillating magnetic fields (60 Hz) may be associated with increased incidence of brain cancer in power industry workers. The cumulative doses for an effect were large, and represent no hazard outside the 5 gauss safety line normally used. Reasonable caution in avoiding lengthy exposure to higher fields seems prudent, none the less. Our current conclusion then, is that NMR workers should then spend no longer than reasonably necessary within the 5 gauss line for sample changing and adjustments. No other equipment unrelated to the NMR system should be placed within the 5 gauss line. (David A. Savitz and Dana P. Loomis (1995). "Magnetic field exposure in relation to leukemia and brain cancer mortality among electric utility workers." Am. J. Epidemiology 141(1): 123-134.) In the unlikely event of the magnet quenching or of a cryogenic failure, up to 100 m3 of helium gas may evolve over a period of several minutes. Although inert, lighter than air and non-toxic, there could be a risk of asphyxiation in a confined space. Personnel should evacuate the area in such a situation. A quench warranting evacuation would be obvious by the noise of the escaping gas and clouds of vapor. When transferring liquid nitrogen or helium, the following steps should be observed to avoid accidents: - Gloves, eye protection, and closed shoes must be worn. - Doors should be propped open to increase ventilation. - Tanks on wheels must be chocked or held by another person. - The transfer must be continuously attended. Cautions: Magnetic fields may permanently damage watches, calculators and certain types of credit cards. Keep those items more than 2.5 m away from center of magnet. Failure to refill or de-energize the magnet when low levels are indicated by cryogen level sensors may result in a magnet quench with possible magnet damage. If low level warning lights on sensors are continuously lit, immediately inform the NMR operator. Use only carbon dioxide fire extinguishers to avoid equipment damage. In case of serious flooding or other situations where there is risk of electrocution, turn off the equipment circuit breakers. Video Display Terminals (VDTs) Extensive radiation measurements and health data do not indicate that these units present a health risk. Most of the symptoms related to the use of computer terminals are related to strain and discomfort that can be corrected by ergonomic measures. The potential for eyestrain can be reduced by the selection of terminals with non-glare screens, fitting a filter to the VDT, or improving the lighting conditions.

An alternative IF you have the spectrum in HPGL format is to use HPGL2CLIPBOARD which will allow you to copy the HPGL file into the Mac's clipboard then paste it into any drawing-type package you have (Graphic Converter is good because of all the choices of format it offers).

I have four sons and three daughters in the order of son, son, daughter, son, son, daughter, daughter. All of them were conceived and born after I began working in NMR.

The method to use on a Mac is: 1) import ps file to mac. 2) use Adobe Distiller to convert ps file to PDF (Portable Document File) format. 3) use Adobe Illustrator to convert PDF to Illustrator format. Once in Illustrator the plot can be modified in any way or exported as EPS, Photoshop etc. However, a conversion to bitmap format, such as that of Photoshop, will degrade the quality of the image. The quality of the Illustrator format image is the same as the ps version. This method works with all ps files and hence allows combining structures with spectra and the like. Distiller is bundled with Illustrator 5.5 (6.0 should be out in a month or so and allegedly will directly import ps). If you use 5.5 go to www.adobe.com and download the updated "PDF filter".

The popular press has paid a lot of attention to putative health hazards of stray A.C. fields from all types of electrical equiptment.

The main BIOSCI FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is accessible on the World Wide Web at URL http://www.bio.net/. Contents: -------- 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. -------------------------------------------------------- As of 10 December 1995, all BIOSCI/bionet full newsgroups are accessible through the World Wide Web (WWW) at URL http://www.bio.net. One can read and reply publicly or privately to both recent postings and archived messages through one's Web browser if it is configured properly to send e-mail. Each newsgroup is equipped with its own WAIS index in addition to the master index for the entire set. The main BIOSCI home page also has access to the BIO-JOURNALS Table of Contents database WAIS index and the BIOSCI user address database described in another item further below. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. ------------------------------------------------------- BIOSCI is a set of parallel USENET newsgroups (the "bionet" groups), mailing lists, and a hypermail archive at URL http://www.bio.net/. The same postings are distributed on all media (except for a small number of mailing-list-only groups at net.bio.net). Unfortunately it is becoming a despicable practice on the Internet (by a few people out to make a fast buck) to do automated mass postings to thousands of newsgroups and mailing lists. These attempts to grab free advertising are refered to as "spams" in the usual, somewhat boneheaded, net terminology. USENET is more susceptible to this practice, and many spams originate on the USENET groups and then are passed on to the mailing lists. However, spammers also get lists of mailing addresses and hit these too, so neither medium is immune. What should you do personally if you get junk mail? --------------------------------------------------- Just delete it and move on without reading it further. Filing a protest is becoming increasingly useless because spammers are often disguising the addresses where the messages are sent from. Unless you really understand Internet mail systems, your attempt at protest by sending replies to the message will often end up being sent to the address of an innocent person that the spammer is victimizing. What can BIOSCI/bionet do to protect its newsgroups? ---------------------------------------------------- The only solution currently available is to moderate the newsgroup. If this newsgroup is already moderated, then you are in good shape. Moderation protects the USENET distribution from about 95% of the spams that are being sent to date and protects the mailing lists completely. Moderation means, however, that someone has to take the time to review each message before it goes out. We have set up software here that simply allows the moderator to forward to an address at net.bio.net messages that (s)he wishes to have distributed. This takes no more time than that needed to read the message and pass it on, say about 1 min. per message. Most newsgroups currently have a discussion leader who is responsible for their newsgroup. The discussions leaders and their e-mail addresses are listed in the BIOSCI Information Sheet which is available on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. If a newsgroup is being hit with too many junk postings, please contact the discussion leader for that group and see if there is interest in moderating the group. Please do not assume that by simply posting a complaint to the newsgroup itself, anyone on the BIOSCI staff will act on your complaint. With close to 100 newsgroups to run, the BIOSCI staff has to rely on the discussion leaders of each newsgroup to report problems directly to us at biosci-help@net.bio.net. We will moderate any of our newsgroups if the discussion leader tells us that the readership of the group wishes to do so and if a moderator is willing to do the work. For most BIOSCI/bionet groups, this entails only a few minutes of work each day. Moderating a newsgroup will resolve probably 95% of the junk postings on the USENET distribution. Unfortunately there are easy ways for determined spammers to override the moderation mechanism on USENET, but we can protect our e-mail subscribers from unwanted postings if the newsgroup is moderated. You can also access our newsgroups over the WWW at URL http://www.bio.net. While this Web interface will not stop spammers from trying to post to the groups, this will give you yet another way, besides using USENET news, to keep the junk out of your personal mail files. For those of you with local USENET news systems, the Web interface will also give you faster access to new newsgroups and recent postings. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. ------------------------------------------------------------------ PLEASE NOTE: The BIOSCI management does NOT act on subscription/unsubscription requests that are posted improperly to the newsgroups and mailing lists. People who do this only bother everyone on the lists to no avail. Please be sure to follow the proper procedures below. Gory details are in the BIOSCI Information sheets on the Web at http://www.bio.net. Below we give an example utilizing the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list at both of our two BIOSCI sites: Users in the Americas and Pacific Rim countries who use the BIOSCI ------------------------------------------------------------------ node at computer net.bio.net: ---------------------------- A) Determine the "listname" which is the <=8 character mail address ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for the group. These can be found in the BIOSCI Info. Sheet. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS group the mailing address is methods@net.bio.net. The listname is the portion of the address to the left of the @ sign, i.e., "methods". The listname is used with the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands illustrated below. B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to biosci-server@net.bio.net. Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup posting addresses! Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it will be ignored. C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g., subscribe methods unsubscribe methods end Do NOT put your e-mail address or other text on these lines. The server only allows you to cancel your subscription if the address on your mail header matches the address on our mailing list. Please ask for help at biosci-help@net.bio.net if your address has changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells you that you are not a member. Users in Europe, Africa, and Central Asia who use the BIOSCI node at -------------------------------------------------------------------- computer daresbury.ac.uk (also known as dl.ac.uk): ------------------------------------------------- To subscribe and unsubscribe to/from the BIOSCI lists, you need to specify the full USENET newsgroup name with "bionet-news." prepended. The USENET newsgroup names are listed in the BIOSCI Information sheet on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list the USENET newsgroup name is bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts, thus the appropriate commands are sub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts unsub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts These commands are included in a message addressed to mxt@dl.ac.uk, NOT to the newsgroup mailing addresses. As usual, include the text in the body of the message as text on the Subject: line is ignored. To unsubscribe from all the lists at the UK node, use unsub bionet-news Please note that if the address in the list is different than the one in your mail message header, you will not be able to unsubscribe by this method. If you have problems, please mail biosci@daresbury.ac.uk. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. ----------------------------------------------------------- Please take this opportunity to add your name, address, and research interest information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so. You can fill out the address form directly through our Web page at URL http://www.bio.net/adrform.html. The address database is reindexed nightly for WWW access (the URL is http://www.bio.net/). If you are not directly on the Internet but can reach it by e-mail, please use our waismail server to access the user directory. waismail use is described above. You can also request a user address form by e-mail from biosci-help@net.bio.net. Please check your database entry from time-to-time to see if your address information is still up-to-date. Because of our limited personnel resources, we ask that you resubmit a *complete* form to revise your entry; we only replace complete entries and do not have resources to edit old forms.

For annotation we would like: to import them on a Max graphics programm. Does anybody have experience doing: this? : Does anybody know a Mac graphics programm that can import CORELDRAW files? : Thanks for any comments: : Dr. Alfred Ross Dear Dr. Ross, as far as we know, there is no graphics programm on the mac that can directly import Coreldraw files. The way most of us go is to import the HPGL output of UXNMR into Coreldraw and then export Adobe Illustrator files. These files can be read with - well - Illustrator or Freehand, which is the programm I prefere, but both programms are really good tools for working with vector graphics. If you don't need vector graphics, you could try GraphicConverter, an excellent shareware programm, that can deal with HPGL data. But the output is a pixel bitmap and can not be rescaled. Jens Quant, a coworker here in Frankfurt, recently wrote a little PERL-script that does the trick of converting HPGL lines (and only lines) to an Adobe Illustrator file. Please contact him for details about the script. MacPERL is freely available and can be found on most ftp servers with Mac software. The same is true for Graphic- Konverter. The email of Jens Quant is: jq@krypton.org.chemie.uni-frankfurt.de Hope that helps, best regards Peter Groeschke PS: BTW, your email address doesn't work... ____________________________________________________________________ Peter Groeschke Prof. Griesinger Research Group Institute for Organic Chemistry Fon: ++ 69 7982 9127 Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University Fax: ++ 69 7982 9128 D-60439 Frankfurt, Germany email: gro@krypton.org.chemie.uni-frankfurt.de From owner-structural-nmr@net.bio.net Wed Dec 27 22:00:00 1995 Path: biosci!bcm.tmc.edu!news.msfc.nasa.gov!newsfeed.internetmci.com!in2.uu.net!amgen!amgen.com!tharvey From: tharvey@amgen.com (Tim Harvey) Newsgroups: bionet.structural-nmr Subject: Position Available Date: 28 Dec 1995 18:51:45 GMT Organization: Amgen Lines: 50 Distribution: world Message-ID: <4bup01$qor@amgen.amgen.com> Keywords: Job Research Associate, NMR Lab/Molecular Structure and Design Group, Amgen Inc, Thousand Oaks, California We are currently seeking a qualified scientist to join an expanding team which uses state-of-the-art structural techniques and computational methods to produce protein and small molecule therapeutics at our Southern California headquarters.

I think Canvas reads .ai files. Maybe it just writes them. Thats how we get Mac figures INTO CorelDraw. Sorry, I can't check now. Flint flint@ucla.edu
