## Abstract

Abstract: Overall. Computation plays a critical role in biomolecular applications of nuclear magnetic
resonance spectroscopy (NMR), such as structural biology, metabolic studies, disease diagnosis, and drug
discovery. Powerful software packages from a variety of sources facilitate computation in bio-NMR, but
challenges include the difficulty of disseminating and maintaining a diverse set of software for a diverse set of
computer platforms, communication between software packages, and the lack of persistence of software. The
aim of this proposal is support continued operation of a Center for NMR Data Processing and Analysis that will
simplify dissemination, support, and use of a broad range of widely-used NMR data processing and analysis
software packages. Central components of the project include the use of virtualization technology to provide a
“zero configuration” software environment that requires no configuration on the part of users. It will run on
almost any computer platform and simplify both dissemination and maintenance. An archive will ensure
software persistence that is essential for reproducible research. The Center will establish a publically
accessible website for discovery, evaluation, and access to a diverse set of NMR software, and will develop
tools for interoperation among software packages. In addition to a single, unified downloadable package, the
platform will be made available for remote access, as a Platform as a Service (PaaS). By facilitating the
deployment, utilization, interoperation, and persistence of advanced software for biomolecular NMR, the
resource will advance the application of biomolecular NMR for a wide range of challenging applications in
biomedicine, and help ensure the reproducibility of bio-NMR studies.
