will be accessible through the web and will exploit GRID technology to provide users with high computational capacity and a secure protocol for access.

The platform will incorporate the majority of the software tools currently in use within the bio-NMR community. Users can request their favorite tools to be included.

Tutorials and standardized workflows will be provided
