Protein NMR – The official website of NMR Laboratory @ University of Groningen, The Netherlands

Today, protein-nmr.org recieved yet another update: An automatic XML sitemap generator, that helps search engines, like GOOGLE to better index and annotate content provided by the NMR group at Univeristy of Gorningen.

We are very happy and proud to announce, protein-nmr.org recieves a long awaited update: a brand new frontend + really fast WordPress-based backend. We are working now on better integration of our tools.

PhD ceremony: Mr. R. Otten, 11.00 uur, Academiegebouw, Broerstraat 5, Groningen Title: Protein structure and dynamics by NMR: synergy between biochemistry and pulse sequence design Promotor(s): prof. B. Poolman Faculty: Mathematics and Natural Sciences Proteins are the molecular machines of a cell and are involved in virtual all cellular processes. To understand the function of [...]

I do have very good news! The paper for our recently developed ncIDP-Assign extension just got out! You can read it at Oxford Journals: Bioinformatics  

Very good news! A brand new PROTEIN-NMR.ORG is lunched! Our new website is powered by WordPress and utilizes pretty slick PHP/HTML templates! All created to give you pleasurable experience! Cheers! Kamil

Description We describe here the ncIDP-assign extension for the popular NMR assignment programme SPARKY, which aids in the sequence-specific resonance assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). The assignment plugin greatly facilitates the effective matching of a set of connected resonances to the correct position in the sequence by making use of IDP random coil chemical [...]

Description Although intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are widespread in Nature and play diverse and important roles in biology, they have so far been little characterized structurally. Auspiciously, intensified efforts using NMR spectroscopy have started to uncover the breadth of their conformational landscape. In particular, polypeptide backbone chemical shifts are emerging as powerful descriptors of local [...]

We are very pleased to inform that the latest release of the NMRView will include ncIDP library as an additional module. Here is what authors of this excellent NMR assignment program posted in their last change log: Changes since 8.0rc47 Projects and States Make it possible to create a new project when there is existing [...]

A member of the NMR group, Kamil Tamiola wins the best lecture prize during the NWO meeting for a lecture entitled: “Random coil chemical shifts of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins”  (6-7th Dec 2010) at Veeldhoven (NL).
