This site is dedicated to the software I am developing for the analysis of binding and conformational equilibria in proteins studied by NMR and other techniques. The software packages currently available are:

  


   LineShapeKin Simulation 4


  • LineShapeKin Simulation 4  --- the package for simulation of NMR line shapes and ITC profiles for a variety of the multi-site exchange models.
    • Web-interface   --- a beta-version is introduced in April 2012. This is the work-in-progress so your best option is still using LineShapeKin Simulation on a local computer.

       
  • Version history:
    • Ver. 4.1 released in 2009
    • Changes in ver. 4.1.5 (2012)
      • includes a correction to U-R2 and U-R2L2 models
      • MATLAB issue with Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm resolved
      • spectral range is now checked to encompass frequencies of the species

 


   LineShapeKin 3.2
(old software for fitting NMR line shapes with the two-state model)

 


    BiophysicsLab

  • A new software package that enables both simulation and fitting of NMR line shapes for multii-state equilibria. See it at the dedicated web site http://biophysicslab.net/

 

Recommended reading on NMR analysis of exchange phenomena

There are numerous sources for the theory, which is at least 50 years old:

  1. The original McConnel's work: McConnell, H. (1958) Reaction rates by nuclear magnetic resonance, J. Chem. Phys. 28, 430-431.
  2. The classic textbook has a subchapters on that: Cavanaugh, J., Fairbrother, W. J., Palmer III, A. G., and Skelton, N. J. (2006) Protein NMR Spectroscopy: Principles and Practice, Academic Press
  3. Pretty sophisticated review: Rao, B. D. N. (1989) Nuclear magnetic resonance line-shape analysis and determination of exchange rates, In Methods in Enzymology Volume 176 ed., pp 279-311, Academic Press.
