SIS Mass Spec Tools
Where would I find this? ONLINE: http://www.sisweb.com/mstools.htm
Why would I use this? * Provides Mass Spectrum Generator *Provides
Isotope Distribution Calculator and Mass Spec Plotter * Provides Exact Mass Calculator,
Single Isotope Version * Accessible from any workstation with access to the Internet
NMRShiftDB
Where would I find this? ONLINE: http://www.nmrshiftdb.org/nmrshiftdb/
Why would I use this?
NMRShiftDB is an open-source, open-access, open-submission, open-content web database for chemical
structures and their nuclear magnetic resonance data. * Provides 13C, 1H and 15N NMR shift data
* Search algorithms can scan the database for example for the following items: substance name, formula,
structure, substructures, chemical shifts, and a Hit List of best matches is generated. Furthermore,
a shift prediction algorithm based on the molecular HOSE code and the measured shift data has been
included. Developments are underway to extend this method to include stereochemical encoding.
Note: The Java VM (virtual machine) and JavaScript must be installed and activated.
