Solid-State NMR BMRB Deposition Content – Draft Specification
(04/10/2005)

	The outline below is a draft description of information unique primarily to a solid-state NMR study of a biomolecular system that could be included in a BMRB deposition.  The chemical structure of the system studied, a citation for the deposition, and other general information would also be included in a full deposition.  Atomic coordinates and restraints for a structure determination could be part of a deposition in the future and would be forwarded to the PDB.  This draft is the result of the work of Dr. Matsuki and Professor Akutsu from Osaka University in collaboration with the BMRB staff.  

	Input on these specifications from the solid-state NMR community is essential to developing a complete and efficient archive of solid-state NMR data at BMRB.  An electronic version of this document will be available from the BMRB web site at this URL:

Please take the time to review this draft and send your comments and suggestions to Eldon Ulrich at BMRB (elu@bmrb.wisc.edu).  Suggestions on the specific content of the archive and on which data items should be required for a complete solid-state NMR entry are critical.
