Random coil chemical shifts for intrinsically disordered proteins

The following Javascript will calculate the random coil chemical shifts for any protein sequence. The chemical shifts and the general sequence correction factors are from [1] whereas the temperature coefficients and the glycine correction factors are from [2]. The principle behind the determination of the sequence correction factors is described in [3]. The correction factors for perdeuteration are from [4]. This newest version includes support for phosphorylated residues pSer, pThr and pTyr [5]. The Javascript was originally coded by Alex Maltsev of the NIH, and later extended by Wouter Boomsma.
