The mathematical foundation of the determination of protein structure from orientational constraints is described. The tools used are vector algebra, gram matrices, and determinants. The discussion begins in the general abstract setting and proceeds to a discussion of how the methods can be applied

β¦ Synopsis
Solid state nuclear magnetic resonance has the potential to characterize membrane protein structures at very high resolution. This paper focuses on the use of orientational constraints for this purpose. These constraints are based on observing the orientation dependence of nuclear spin interactions. The interpretation of these observations is based on accurate knowledge of the spin interaction tensors -the tensor element magnitudes and their orientation to the molecular frame. Numerous possibilities exist for developing these orientational constraints, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. This first of two papers focuses on the observation of these constraints and their inherent error, while the second paper demonstrates the utility, advantages, and disadvantages of these constraints for solving protein backbone structure.

The introduction of object-oriented technology does not appear to hinder overall productivity on new large commercial projects, but nor does it seem to improve it in the first two product generations. In practice, the governing influence may be the business workflow, and not the methodology.
It has been proposed that the membrane allows a much more efficient binding of certain small or medium-sized amphiphilic messenger molecules to their receptor, not only by accumulation of the drug, but also by induction of orientations and conformations that are much more favorable for receptor dock
