Data Stations

Three Dell Precision T3500 with Linux operating system have a few software are available for offline processing, analyzing, exploiting NMR spectroscopic data and Structure Determination as well as molecular modeling

Software installed

CNS, macromolecular structure determination, NMR structure calculation using NOEs, J-coupling, chemical shift and dipolar coupling data.

Mnova NMR, NMR data processing and analysis. Mnova NMRPredict, from molecular structure to NMR spectra prediction and peak assignment. Prediction of 1D (1H, 13C, 15N, 19F, 31P, 17O, 29Si) and HSQC Verification from molecular structure (mol file, ChemDraw, IsisDraw, ChemSketch) within Mnova.

NMRPipe, an extensive software system for processing, analyzing and exploiting NMR spectroscopic data, also provides such facilities as NMRDraw, NMRWish, TALOS+, DYNAMO, MFR and ACME.

Sparky, Spectra processed with NMRPipe, Varian VNMR and Bruker. The output is text lists of assigned peaks, chemical shifts, volumes, line-widths.

Tinker, molecular modeling software, is a complete and general package for molecular mechanics and dynamics, with some special features for biopolymers. TINKER has the ability to use any of several common parameter sets, such as Amber, CHARMM, Allinger MM, OPLS, Merck Molecular Force Field.

VMD, molecular visualization program for displaying, animating and analyzing large biomolecular systems using 3-D graphics and built-in scripting.
