Hello, I’ve noticed a few common ‘annoyances’ that everyone tends to deal with when processing nmr data in one way or another and I thought I’d offer a few solutions: 1) Getting started with nmrPipe/nmrDraw: Converting data in Topspin Learning

This new NIH R01 is a collaborative grant that funds our research to understand the mechanisms of allosteric regulation of RNA binding by oligomeric proteins, using the undecameric trp RNA binding attenuation protein (TRAP) as a model system. In addition,
