[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] software for 1D-2D spectra assignment for small molecules
software for 1D-2D spectra assignment for small molecules
Please advice good software for 1D and 2D spectra assignment and structure elucidation,for small organic molecules.I'm really tired of doing these assignments on printed-out spectra with color pencils.
Check if somebody has answered this question on NMRWiki QA forum

Small molecules against Ebola: NMR reveals drug leads
Small molecules against Ebola: NMR reveals drug leads
There is neither vaccine nor cure for the Ebola virus, which causes fatal haemorrhagic fever in humans. However, a new NMR spectroscopic study by US researchers scientists has led to the discovery of a family of small molecules that apparently bind to the outer protein coat of the virus and halt its entry into human cells, so offering the possibility of an antiviral medication against the disease.

[NMR paper] Probing internal water molecules in proteins using two-dimensional 19F-1H NMR.
Probing internal water molecules in proteins using two-dimensional 19F-1H NMR.

J Biomol NMR. 1995 Jun;5(4):415-9
Authors: Cistola DP, Hall KB
A simple approach for detecting internal water molecules in proteins in solution is described. This approach combines 19F-detected heteronuclear Overhauser and exchange spectroscopy (HOESY) with site-specific 19F substitution. The model system employed was intestinal fatty acid-binding protein complexed with...

Journal club: structural biology of HIV infection (0 replies)
A recent paper in Science highlights once again the potential of NMR to yield insights into complex molecular recognition events in critical biological processes.
In this case the authors used a combination of X-ray crystallography and NMR to probe the structure of the extracellular terminus of the CCR5 co-receptor which, in concert with human CD4 and HIV gp120, is crucial for viral entry. The authors applied challenging saturation transfer effects to study the structure of a small synthetic peptide in a ternary...

NMR of a few billion (different) RNA molecules?
Hey,
I am working on a VHDL-to-DNA compiler, and one of the inputs has to be RNA molecules that can be used without interfering with the operation of other RNA molecules in the logic circuit or within the solution in general. This would require a simulation of the size of 2^(4^(N)) where N = the number of nucleotides of the RNA molecules. This is computationally infeasible (319 years on a gigahertz machine, a few minutes on a petahertz machine, but these are not generally accessible, and then there's memory IO, anyway, it's just not optimal).
Instead: what if I threw all of these...
