Crystallography and NMR system
Encyclopedia
CNS or Crystallography and NMR system, is a software library for computational structural biology. It is an offshoot of X-PLOR
and uses much of the same syntax. It is used in the fields of X-ray crystallography
and NMR
analysis.
X-PLOR
X-PLOR is a software package for computational structural biology originally developed by Axel Brunger at Yale University. It was first published in 1987 as an off-shoot of CHARMM - a similar program that ran on Cray supercomputers...

X-ray crystallography
X-ray crystallography is a method of determining the arrangement of atoms within a crystal, in which a beam of X-rays strikes a crystal and causes the beam of light to spread into many specific directions. From the angles and intensities of these diffracted beams, a crystallographer can produce a...

Protein nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of proteins is a field of structural biology in which NMR spectroscopy is used to obtain information about the structure and dynamics of proteins. The field was pioneered by Richard R. Ernst and Kurt Wüthrich, among others...
