On the analysis of Liquid Crystal NMR dipolar coupling data via mixed a priori-maximum entropy methods.

In this Letter, a general expression is derived for the conformational distribution function of a molecule dissolved in an anisotropic condensed fluid medium by combining an a priori model with the maximum entropy principle applied to treatment of liquid crystalline-NMR data. The recently proposed additive potential maximum entropy (APME) method is recovered as a special case, when the AP is chosen as the a priori model and the orientational order is low.
