We present a new program REDEN (Residual Decomposition of NMR peaks) designed to perform identification of peaks in NMR spectra. This integrated, cross-platform, open-source software visually assists with explicit peak picking through decomposition of NMR peaks on the frequency domain data. It provides a distinctive interactive workflow with iPick due to its integration with the POKY suite, providing users with a seamless and efficient experience.

Nuclear magnetic resonance is a crucial technique for studying biological complexes, as it provides precise structural and dynamic information at the atomic level. However, the process of assigning resonances can be time-consuming and challenging, particularly in cases where peaks overlap, or the data quality is poor. In this paper, we present TINTO (Two and three-dimensional Imaging for NMR sTrip Operation via CV/ML), an advanced semiautomatic toolset for NMR resonance assignment.

Article Synopsis
  • Potassium channels are essential for various bodily functions, and problems with these channels can lead to diseases, making them a key target for drug development.
  • Researchers produced two specific scorpion toxins (TcoKIK and beta-KTx14.3) and analyzed their structures using nuclear magnetic resonance to understand their potential effects on potassium channels.
  • While TcoKIK showed no activity against certain potassium channels, beta-KTx14.3 effectively blocked the KCNQ1 channel, which is important for heart function, indicating its potential for future drug development aimed at treating related diseases.
