Abstract:
A computer program has been developed to aid the analysis of molecular dynamics trajectories. The program is tuned for macromolecular large-scale problems and supports features such as removal of global translations-rotations of the solute, calculation of average distance maps and their corresponding standard deviations, calculation of the variance-covariance and cross-correlation matrices, and principal component analysis of trajectories with the added ability to create artificial trajectories based on selected eigenvectors. Limited graphics (trajectory viewing) capabilities are also available.

NMR and Mass Spectroscopy of Carboxylic Acids
While α protons of carboxylic acids absorb at 2–2.5 ppm, β protons absorb further upfield.
Carboxylic acids are easily identified by dissolving them in deuterium oxide, which results in a rapid exchange of the acidic protons with deuterium. This leads to the disappearance of the acidic...
Molecular Weight of Step-Growth Polymers
As the step-growth polymerization involves step-wise condensation of monomers, the molecular weight also builds up eventually. Consequently, high molecular weight polymers are obtained at the late stages of the polymerization, where 99% of monomers have been consumed.
The extent of the...
