Dynamics Center for TopSpin

contributed by Robin Stein (Bruker Canada)

Bruker Biospin has recently released a new version of its Dynamics Center software in two parts for fitting relaxation and diffusion NMR parameters. General Dynamics Center is intended for analysing T1, T2, T1rho, DOSY, REDOR, and CP buildup experiments, while Protein Dynamics Center can be used to fit heteronuclear NOE, T1, T2, T1rho, exchange, and NOE/T1/T2 data.

The program is very straightforward to use for 2D and 3D datasets, with automated peak picking, selection of the fitting function (although it is possible to fit data to any function desired), and generation of a report as an Excel-readable or text file. DOSY data can even be fit using an inverse Laplace transform.

The program currently exists in Linux and Windows formats. General Dynamics Center is free and only requires an existing TopSpin processing license, either full or a three-year student license, while Protein Dynamics Center requires a separate license. A Macintosh version is under development, as is the implementation of new methods.

To download the program and tutorials, go to http://www.bruker-biospin.com log in (anyone can create an account), and from there, click on Service & Support / NMR / Software Downloads / Dynamics Center.

For more information about the program, contact Martine Monette (martine.monette "at" bruker.ca) or Robin Stein (robin.stein "at" bruker.ca), and for more information about the Protein Dynamics Center license, contact Joseph Weiss (joseph.weiss "at" bruker.ca), or request a three-month demo license from any of us.
