Not a kickstarter for science, a prize clearinghouse
Yesterday’s post on the reversible random number generators received some interesting reactions from my colleagues. They were uniformly impressed with the solution to what everyone thought was a hard problem, but surprisingly, most of the scientists I talked to were … Continue reading
Relax – Molecular dynamics by NMR data analysis
Edward d’Auvergne pointed out the relax program, which looks like a useful way to connect experimental NMR spectra with molecular dynamics simulations. relax is designed for the study of molecular dynamics of organic molecules, proteins, RNA, DNA, sugars, and other … Continue reading
