The molecular structure of spider dragline silk: Folding and orientation of the protein backbone
- J. D. van Beek, S. Hess, F. Vollrath, B. Meier
- Materials Science, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 29 July 2002
The design principles of spider dragline silk, nature's high-performance fiber, are still largely unknown, in particular for the noncrystalline glycine-rich domains, which form the bulk of the… Expand
Operator-based Floquet theory in solid-state NMR.

matNMR (matnmr.sourceforge.net) is a toolbox for processing, analyzing and visualizing magnetic-resonance data within the Matlab environment (www.mathworks.com) that aims for control, flexibility and… Expand
Manipulation of the director in bicellar mesophases by sample spinning: a new tool for NMR spectroscopy.
- G. Zandomeneghi, M. Tomaselli, J. D. van Beek, B. Meier
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Journal of the American Chemical Society
- 16 January 2001
It is shown that bicellar nematic liquid-crystalline phases can be oriented with the director (the normal to the bicellar plane) at an arbitrary angle to the applied magnetic field by sample rotation… Expand
INADEQUATE-CR experiments in the solid state.
- R. Verel, J. D. van Beek, B. Meier
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Journal of magnetic resonance
- 1 September 1999
Through-bond connectivity can be probed by J couplings. For effective two-spin systems, the INADEQUATE experiment is highly valuable in liquid-state spectroscopy. It is the purpose of this… Expand
Inverse methods in two-dimensional NMR spectral analysis.
- J. D. van Beek, B. Meier, H. Schaefer
- Materials Science, Medicine
- Journal of magnetic resonance
- 1 May 2003
Solid-state NMR is a valuable technique for the study of disordered materials. Analysis of such spectra usually involves solution of so-called ill-posed inverse problems. Here we present a strategy… Expand
