NMR - magnetic field vs. frequency; Hz vs. T

Can you recalculate Hz to Tesla?

Not really. They are connected, but both have different dimensions, so can't equate them.

1Hz = 1 cycle/second - it is frequency, not magnetic field
Magnetic field strength (B) is measured in Tesla (T).

The larger the magnetic field, the faster the frequency.
1 GHz corresponds to 23.5 T
800 MHz corresponds to 18.8 T

The Earth magnetic field is around 30-60 µT.

Frequencies can be represented also in radians per second (rad/s).

rad/s = 1 Hz = 1 s-1

Nucleus frequency  depends on the electromagnetic environment: when nearby atoms strip away electrons (like electronegative O or N), then nucleus has higher frequency; so less electrons nearby, stronger the nucleus magnetic field, higher frequency.

frequency of the atom = type of atom x magnetic field strength around the atom

Larmor frequency- precession

The frequency of the precession (Larmor frequency) depends on the gyromagnetic ratio and gyromagnetic ratio units are Hz/T, as:

ω=γB 

Where
ω is the frequency of the precession
γ is the gyromagnetic ratio
B is the strength of the magnetic field

The precession of the magnetization vector is what we detect in NMR, but because of interference from B0 , the precession can't be measured while the net magnetization is along z-axis. That's why we use radiofrequency pulses to rotate the net magnetization.

How to make gif from PyMOL - easily!

Firstly, save your movie as png images. You can set_view/get_view to have the right orientation. To save scenes go to > scene > store > F 1/2/3... then > Movie > Program > Scene Loop I use usually: Nutate > 30 deg. over 4 sec. > file > save movie as png images then for 300 images you can easily use http://gifmaker.me/ (quite slow even with highest speed) or https://ezgif.com/maker up to 2000 files (delay time 1 makes a nice speed) or it's easy to find some png to gif conventer online

Thesis stuff - PyMOL - how to remove alternative conformation; renumbering, measuring distances with 2 decimals

Sometimes I'm googling stuff. How to do something.. And I'm forgetting then. Or writing on paper. But better to keep it on-line, so other googlers can find it, too ;) Thanks for  http://randomthesisstuff.blogspot.co.uk/  useful! Another great one -  http://www.keepcalmandpublishpapers.com/ So PyMOL,  alternative conformation . It makes messy some of my calculations to keep alternative conformations, so to remove it, simply type: PyMOL>remove not (alt ''+A) PyMOL>alter all, alt='' But it's choosing conformation A, not that with higher occupancy! See here -  https://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Property_Selectors#Alternate_Locations Alternatively in  Phenix  - Model tools - pdb tools - options - remove alternate conformers, but it gave me the same output as PyMOL, conformation A, not higher occupancy. You can do it in  Coot , but then (probably?) have to go from residue to residue (with double occupancy), I didn't find how to do it for...

Origin Pro 9.1 stacked columns/groups

I had a problem with Origin recently.. When trying to make a nice column graph with few y values for one x value it automatically gave me a stacked columns like that: And what I wanted were groups. It took me some time to find the solution. Go to > Graph > Layer Contents Highlight all y and group. Apply. Voilà !!!
