Tutorial for R1/R2 Relaxation curve-fitting analysis from NMRView files

Data background

Based on message found at: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.science.nmr.relax.user/1874

Data stored in several NMRView .xpk files.

relax can read the NMRView format.

• http://www.nmr-relax.com/manual/Relax_fit_script_mode_loading_the_data.html
• http://www.nmr-relax.com/manual/spectrum_read_intensities.html

The whole list of files is:

R1-methyl_hRGS4_20C_pH7_Mar2016_0ms
R1-methyl_hRGS4_20C_pH7_Mar2016_10msa
R1-methyl_hRGS4_20C_pH7_Mar2016_10msb

R1-methyl_hRGS4_20C_pH7_Mar2016_210ms
R1-methyl_hRGS4_20C_pH7_Mar2016_250ms

For determination of the errors of the intensity, there is 2x duplicated spectra (10ms, and 90ms.)

NMRView format

Each file has a structure like this:

label dataset sw sf
H1 C13
R1-methyl_hRGS4_20C_pH7_Mar2016_0ms.nv
1500.2322998 3328.125

....

This is 19 Columns of data.

The first line describes what datatypes is to be found in the following lines. Here:

• Line 1 is the label of nucleus
• Line 2 is the dataset from where the file is created from
• Line 3 is the Sweep (Spectral) Width [sw] in Hz
• Line 4 is the Nuclear magnetic resonance frequency at the given spectrometer field. In MHz.

Then follow a line of header description.

• H1.L must be the label for the H1. Residue 75, atomname HG11
• Then follows .P, .W and .B
• Then follow .E, .J and .U.

Then comes for carbon C13.

Ind the end, there must be the (vol) peak volume integration intensity and the (int) the top peak point intensity.

The relax systemtests which test reading these files are found in:

test_suite/system_tests/chemical_shift.py
test_suite/system_tests/peak_lists.py

Procedure in GUI

• Start relax
• Then click: new analysis or ⌘ Cmd+n
• Then click icon for R1 relaxation → Next
• Just accept name for the pipe

• Open the relax prompt: ⌘ Cmd+p
• Paste in

import os; os.chdir(os.getenv('HOME') + os.sep + 'Desktop' + os.sep + 'Karin'); pwd()

• Then do

script(file='2_load_data.py')

• ( You can scroll through earlier commands with: ⌘ Cmd+↑ )
• Close the prompt window

Now save the current state! This saved state can now be loaded just before an analysis, and contain all setup and data.

• File  → Save as (Shift+Ctrl+S) → Save as before_analysis.bz2

Now Quit relax, and start relax again.
Go to: File  → Open relax state (Ctrl+O) → Locate before_analysis.bz2

Procedure in terminal

The analysis can be performed by

relax 2_load_data.py -t log.txt
