Dear spectroscopists,

Here is a trick question (at least to my ignorant mind).

If one observes (or would like to observe) two different isotopes in
the same spectral window (using quadrature detection), what is the
frequency difference (spectral width) if gyromagnetic ratios have the
SAME sign, or OPPOSITE sign? What is the relative phase of the two
peaks (say Ag109 and K39)?

Are there any examples of the observation of two isotopes in the same
spectral window using ordinary spectrometers?

73, Peter

Hi,

A parameter set will be specific to a particular spectrometer and sample. 
It would be more informative to have a little exposition regarding the 
determination of the optimal parameter set.

Dear netters:

	When I compiled a fortran code, I met a message 
'Unresolved:fftrc_'. After checking the source code, I found there is a 
funtion call exist: 'call FFTRC(tmfct,nptm,fqfct1,iwk,xxx)'.
	Does any one know where I can get this subroutine, it is sure 
that our mechine does not have this routine.

Thanks all

          NMR EPS-2: SECOND ELECTRONIC NMR POSTER SESSION 

    Following up on last year's First Electronic NMR Poster session 
(see http://bellatrix.pcl.ox.ac.uk/nmr/poster.html or mirror
sites listed there) we are holding a second electronic poster session 
on NMR from June 17 to June 21.  Participants can mount
an NMR-related poster on the World Wide Web and engage in
interactive discussions on the poster material and current
NMR technology during the week.

     To participate you need to send the following pieces
of information by June 1 to nmrorg@bellatrix.pcl.ox.ac.uk:  

1) The Web site location (URL) where you will serve your poster.
2) Your email address for correspondence.                          
3) Your abstract stating title, list of authors, institutions,
and mailing address.

     We will format Web pages which will link into the posters
and create a listserver and interactive environment for discussions.  
Registration will be processed through the Web sites which will
have a full international distribution between the U.S., Europe
and the Pacific Rim.

     If you do not have the ability to mount a poster on the Web
yourself please email nmrorg@bellatrix.pcl.ox.ac.uk.  We should be able
to aid you in loading a poster.  

     Information on the conference will be posted to the nmrlist
mailing list as the event develops.

Dear NMR spectroscopist,
Does anybody understand both Bruker AM and JEOL alpha pulse 
programming languages? There are lot of useful sequences in
archive (e.g. Wisconsin) but most of them are Bruker, and if
not, they are Varian. I need to know how to convert those 
pulse programmes to JEOL alpha. Help me if you can, I'm feeling
down, and I do appreciate you being .... helpful? Won't you
please please help me?

Dear spectroscopists and structural biologists:

	I have a question regarding the felix 95.0 program supplied by biosym. Is
there anyone who has used the assign mode supplied here? How well does it
work? Is it a worthwhile addition to buy? If anyone out there has used it,
I would very much appreciate some help with the assign mode.

	Thanks

Hong

I think you are looking for the experiment described in Sklenar et al., 
FEBS Lett., 208(1986)94-98.  I don't have a Varian version of it at the 
moment, but it is pretty simple to write it in.  "DD" phasing can be 
helpful for easier analysis of such (and similar) spectra.  If you'd take 
a look at one of the coming "The NMR Newsletter" (from Barry Shapiro) we 
have an example there.
All the best,

Istvan

I am looking for help. What is going to be the best experiment to run on
Varian Unity Plus Spectrometer to see 31P - h3',h4' and h5 correlation in
DNA? It looks like Varian pulse sequence library doesn't have it. Does anybody
try to write the sequence for Varian ? We tried to run HMQC and HETCOR. But
the results are very poor, compare with what you can find in literature(
beautifull spectra by Corenshtein lab using PAC and DOC sequence on Bruker
instrument ).  
Any comments and suggestions will be very appreciable.

Dear Chuang,

If you know how to use these coupling constants for L-amino acids, there 
is no problem with D-amino acids. The only difference is that for D-AA the
angle H-N-Ca-H which is used in Karplus equation, is calculated as
|phi+60|, and for L-AA it is |phi-60|, where phi is conventional torsional
angle around N-Ca bond. Depending on available software, you may calculate
expected phi angles and use them as constrains, or you may use exptl. 
coupling constants as direct constraints in MD simulations. The latter is 
preferable. See: 

Mierke & Kessler, Biopolymers, 1993, 33, 1003;
Mierke et al., Biopolymers, 1994, 34, 559.

Best regards,

Mark Shenderovich.

Protein NMR experts:

We are planning to buy a new NMR mainly for our protein studies. Our 
question is this: What is your opinion of the necessity for a 600 now 
that most of our experiments are multinuclear and we ususally do protein 
NMR by triple resonance multidimensional experiments? As you know, 
especially, the site cost to fit a 600 in will be significantly larger. 
Thanks!

Ning Zheng

I'm interrupting the usual monthly posting of the BIOSCI miniFAQ to
bring you up to date on BIOSCI fundraising progress, a topic of
concern to your future use of this resource.  Thank you in advance for
taking the time to read this message carefully.

Last year we announced that BIOSCI was going to adopt the U.S. Public
Broadcasting System model to fund its operations after our DOE/NSF
grant runs out later this year.  Unlike PBS, we are not soliciting
contributions from users; we are only selling ads on our Web pages
solely to cover our operating costs.  Our goal is to seek sponsorships
until we build up an operating reserve of about $100,000 and then
cease further promotions until we need to build the reserve back up.
(The accountants among our readership will be familiar with the
problem of deferred revenue which we can not safely utilize until ads
have been displayed for a period of time.)  We have three sponsors to
date with a couple more pending.  The process is time-consuming,
however, and we need your help as explained further below.

Our operating costs consist of our network connection, phone lines,
hardware maintenance (we hope to have new and faster hardware soon!),
plus 0.7 FTE of salaries covering UNIX systems admin, technical
support, quality assurance, i.e., testing, of our system, and
administrative costs (such as the time it takes to actually
find/write/call potential sponsors and raise money!).  Although the
BIOSCI staff does get compensated for a portion of the work that they
do, this project has always received a lot of free after-hours and
"vacation" time labor, so we hope that no one will begrudge the time
that we do charge to the project to serve you.  All of the three
part-time staff members, Dave Mack, Julie Lawrence, and myself, have
full time day jobs and families in addition to working hard to keep
this service running for all of you.  Julie and Dave Mack are
subcontractors for BIOSCI; my time that is charged to the project
defrays a portion of my regular salary instead of adding to my income.

Besides having to relocate the project, we were very busy this last
year building new infrastructure such as our WWW hypermail interface
to the system.  This was released last December along with scores of
WAIS indices for the newsgroups.  Virtually everything is complete,
although we do continue to find and fix bugs (many through your
helpful feedback!).  We are still having some problems with our WAIS
indexing.  The archives continue to grow rapidly.  We are running over
100 indexes now versus three previously and any systems crashes cause
greater havoc with the indexing than before!  We are still working to
fix this as fast as our resources permit and appreciate your patience,
but we have been able to automate a lot of the infrastructure to
reduce labor as compared to past requirements.

We have also implemented new software to make moderation of
BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups much easier and combat the growing problem of
Internet junk mail and USENET "spamming."  About 20% of our groups are
now moderated, many of them by the BIOSCI staff!  This, for example,
made a major difference last year in the quality of content in our
EMPLOYMENT/bionet.jobs.offered newsgroup which many commercial
concerns and recruiting firms are using **without charge** to recruit
candidates for positions in the biological sciences.

We are also now in a position to have sponsors for individual
newsgroups as you will have noticed if you have visited
http://www.bio.net/ and clicked on "Access the BIOSCI/bionet
newsgroups" recently.

So, how can you help??
----------------------

As noted above it can take a lot of time to contact potential sponsors
if I have to do it all myself.  Our request is quite simple.  You can
do two important things which will take very little time for you
individually.  

First, please use our WWW system at http://www.bio.net/ to access the
archives.  You can now post or reply to messages via your Web browser.
Your usage helps attract sponsors.  If you contact any of our
sponsors, please be sure to thank them for supporting BIOSCI.  It is
critical for them to get this feedback if they are to continue their
sponsorship for the long term.

Second, if you work for a company or organization that provides
products or services of interest to the biology community, please pass
this message on to your marketing or marketing communications
department or other appropriate group.  Please ask them to help
support BIOSCI by sponsoring our Web site and explain the uses and
benefits of the system to the biology community.  If they are
interested, they can then contact us for further information at our
tech support address, biosci-help@net.bio.net.

Our hope is to quickly raise several large corporate/institutional
sponsors on our heavily-used WWW locations (some stats appended
below), and then end this sponsorship campaign so that our resources
can continue to be used for service provision, not fundraising.  Many
of our specialty newsgroup WWW archives are still used by small
communities of scientists (and they haven't been heavily promoted
yet).  While these may be valuable niche markets to some advertisers,
it will generate more labor and overhead having to find these
sponsors, fairly price the locations, and deal with lots of smaller
sponsorships than fewer mid-to large sponsors.  We are striving to
keep our operation as lean and efficient as possible since we are not
trying to make careers out of running BIOSCI.  We are trying if at all
possible to avoid the administrative overhead entailed with processing
lots of small payments to reach our fundraising goals.

I'd like to thank all of you for your help in advance. In helping us,
you are also helping yourselves, not only in keeping this resource
available for all of the both large and small research communities
that we serve, but also by alleviating the need for us to go back and
compete with researchers for tight grant dollars!  We promised NSF
when we were awarded the BIOSCI grant that we would carry out this
mission to make the service self-supporting.  With your help, we will
succeed in continuing BIOSCI's work into its second decade.  Thank you
very much!

				Sincerely,

				Dave Kristofferson
				BIOSCI/bionet Manager

Has anyone managed to compile MORASS 2.1 in Linux platform?

I have Slackware 3.0 Linux distribution in 120 MHz 486 with
enough memory and disk space. I have also GCC C compiler and
F2C front-end to GCC (F77 to C converter) and FORT77 front-end
to GCC (F77 to C converter written in Perl).

Dear Netters:

	We had a N-15 labeled amino acid, and we wish to know to purity 
of the N-15 labeled amino acid (relative to N-14 a.a.). We plan to use 
nmr and mass to do so. The problems are:

1. when use nmr, like we can use in 1H-nmr, there must be a internal 
standard N-15 peak for correlation. What kinds of the standard could be used?

2. If use mass, which kind of mass could be used to quantize a peak?
 
	Or any other alternate could do so? 

	Any comment will be great appreciated.

What does this MORASS do? Could you give me more details? 
 
I suggest anyone using Linux report about NMR and other chemical 
applications. Since Linux is a TRUE multitasking OS, it is very capable 
for running apps needing lot of calculations. (They can be run in 
background, so it doesn't matter, if one calculation runs several days.)
Programs written for other UNIX plattforms should compile under Linux 
with few problems, so it depends only for software companies how many 
scientific programs are ported to Linux.

NMR is not suitable for detecting a small percentage of N-14. If you have
a few percent or more of N-14, you should be able to run a regular 1D
1H-NMR and use the alpha-H integration to calculate the % of N-14 and
N-15, because N-15 species will give 2JNH ~ 5Hz. This can be conveniently
detected, if you decouple the beta protons so that the alpha-H of N-14
species will be a singlet and the alpha-H of N-15 species will be a
doublet. The other alternative is to run a natural abundance 13C-NMR.
Again, the 15N species will give an alpha-13C as a doublet with 1JNC ~
5-10Hz. 13C-NMR will give you better resolved lines for singlet (14N) and
doublet (15N), hence better integration, but 13C-NMR is less sensitive.

With such a small molecular weight you will probably need Electron impact
(EI) or chemical ionization (CI) MS. FAB-MS or electron-spray MS is
possible if you don't get much noise in the low MW range. In any event,
you should run this with high resolution mode and use the (M+H) peak
integrations to calculate the % 14N and 15N. A convenient way to get the
integration is to print the peaks corresponding to (M+H) in an expanded
mode on a piece of paper and cut out each peak corresponding to each
isotope species and weigh them.


Hope this helps.

Dear netters,

On March 18th, Piero Pollesello urgently requested information
on the XVIIth ICMRBS conference.  I would like to respond to this
request and encourage all of the readers to take note of this
information.

On behalf of the organizing committee, I appologize for
the delays in getting the second announcement out to all of you
for this conference.  It has been mailed to a large list of 
people, including those at the XVIth meeting in Veldhoven,
The Netherlands, attendees of the '95 Keystone Symposia on
NMR, and the larger mailing list maintained by ICMRBS.

In the event that this information STILL does not reach you,
I encourage you to visit our web site for information.  This 
is currently being updated regularly...which means it is not
quite complete.  The information there is deemed to be accurate, but there
will be still more information to come.  Please check this
site regularly....

You may obtain forms for registration and information on the
meeting and site from the web site.

   http://nmrsgi1.ncifcrf.gov/icmrbsxvii/

One difficulty that we are dealing with is the compatibility of
different web browsers.  We are attempting to provide both a 
lower level graphics (or text) version and a version for users
of Netscape ver. 1.1 or higher.  Forms are available both as
PostScript files and as ascii files.

Thank you for your patience, and we look forward to seeing you
at the conference.

Sincerely yours,

R. Andrew Byrd

The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) is offering a new kind of
supercomputing techniques workshop for biomedical researchers this May.
We invite you to review the description below and consider returning an
application for it.

If you have any questions, please contact

Nancy Blankenstein
Biomedical Assistant
biomed@psc.edu

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


        SUPERCOMPUTING TECHNIQUES FOR BIOMEDICAL RESEARCHERS
                  Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center
                           May 5-9, 1996


This newly developed Supercomputing Techniques workshop is aimed at
researchers who want to determine if they need supercomputing resources
to solve their biomedical research problem(s). It differs from both the
Biomedical Applications workshops, which focus on science, and other PSC
Techniques workshops, which focus on programming details.  The emphasis here
will be on practical concepts and assumes no prior supercomputing experience.
Applicants should have a working knowledge of either Fortran or C.

Participants will learn what resources are potentially available to them
through  PSC's Biomedical Initiative, including hardware, software and PSC
staff expertise.  By participating in this course, you should be able to
answer the following questions as they pertain to your research computing
needs:

        How can my application benefit from supercomputing?  What must I
        examine to determine this?

        Is my application massively parallel in nature?  Is it more vector
        oriented?

        Should I consider a heterogeneous solution involving both vector and
        massively parallel machines?

        Are there ways to restructure my application to get more computing
        power out of the machines already at my disposal?

        How much effort would be involved to accomplish the necessary
        modifications, and what are the potential payoffs?  Is it worth
        pursuing at this time?

        Where do I go from here?

The workshop will include informal discussion times to encourage participants
to collaborate with one another as well as PSC researchers and scientific
support staff.  A panel discussion will be held on the final day to further
promote discussions between participants and members of the Biomedical
Supercomputing Initiative.

This workshop is NOT intended to provide detailed information on the use
of any one computer system. Other techniques workshops are available
that address the details of programming either the C90 or the T3D.

Expenses/Registration Fees:

        Researchers affiliated with a U.S. academic institutions will have
        their hotel accommodations paid and receive complimentary breakfasts
        and lunches the days of the workshop.  No registration fee will be
        charged but participants are responsible for all other expenditures
        connected with attending the workshop, i.e., travel, meals
outside            the workshop, ground transportation, parking, etc.

     A few openings may be available for government and industrial      
          researchers:

        U.S. Government researchers will be charged a registration fee to
        cover their documentation and workshop meals.  They will be
        responsible for all expenses incurred in travel, accommodations,
        other meals, etc.

        Industrial researchers will be charged a registration fee to
        cover their service units, documentation and the workshop meals.
        They are responsible for all expenses incurred in travel,
        accommodations, other meals, etc.

This program is sponsored by a National Institutes of Health grant.
Enrollment is limited to 20 participants.  
Deadline for applications:  April 5, 1996
A tentative agenda and an on-line application are below.

Nuts (Acorn NMR...http://www.acornnmr.com) has been
serving my spin-simulation need quite nicely for the past year or so, and
I believe the 1D-version is well-below $1,000.  A demo version is available
at the above web-site.

Best Regards,

Rich Shoemaker

A vacancy exists within the Spectroscopy Group for an
experienced NMR spectroscopist to support our Medicinal
Chemistry department. You will be involved in all areas of
structural investigation, including determining the solution
conformations of lead compounds, and will be expected to
develop applications of NMR to address key biomolecular
issues such as metabolism and peptide/protein structure.

With a PhD in Chemistry, you will need at least two years'
experience in biomolecular NMR spectroscopy and an excellent
track record of quality research. You will be completely
familiar with the implementation and interpretation of
modern multidimensional homonuclear and heteronuclear
experiments and be expert in computational molecular modelling

Can anybody recommend me a good program which can simulate 1H or 13C, etc.
spectrum from some trial chemical shifts and J-couplings, and fit this
calculated spectrum to the measured one. It should be able to deal with
spectra of nucleosides and small oligonucleotides. The aim is to extract
precise values of J from the experimental spectra.
The program should run on PC or SGI, and it should be free or very cheap.
To my knowledge, the Finnish PERCH does what I wish (but $1000).

There is a nice software from SoftShell International:  gNMR.  Now the 
Windows version is available, too.
Good luck,

I have a PDB file of a protein structure, and I need to generate a
complete set of CONECT records from the coordinates, including the
backbone connectivities. 
Are there any program utilities available to do this?
If not, any other suggestions?

Any help appreciated,

Indeed it does but the price you are referencing to, is a multi site licence
for educational purposes. You can have a single site licence for the same
program for only US$ 400 now. This is still hard money but it may save you
lots of hard working hours. If you need more information please do not
hesitate to contact me or visit our home pages: http://www.uku.fi/perch.html
You also can send me one of your spectra for a pre-evaluation (I will return
it as a demo-usable PERCH case). There will be a new version out this spring 
(keep in mind that spring is late here in Finland;)
