Abstract

Eldon Ulrich made fundamental contributions to the inception and development of the Biological Magnetic Resonance Bank (BMRB), the publicly accessible archive of biomolecualr data derived from the field of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. He early on recognized the importance of properly referenced proton and carbon chemical shifts assigned to specific atoms in the chemical structure of a protein in delineating its three-dimensional structure. He pioneered the development of the data dictionary used by BMRB that captures precise information from the large array of different NMR experiments used in determining the structure, dynamics, and function of peptides, proteins, and nucleic acids. Eldon also developed a valuable branch of BMRB devoted to the NMR charicterization of metabolites, drugs, and other small molecules.
