ACD/Labs Blog

A general theme on this blog over the last couple of weeks has involved sharing presentations that our customers have given on their applications with ACD/Labs NMR software (here, here, and here). Here’s another one for you. Unfortunately, I was not at the Research Triangle Park (RTP) User’s Meeting this year so I didn’t experience...

Last week I blogged about Phil Keyes’ and Anthony Macherone’s applications of NMR software towards automated structure confirmation. A few months back, I pointed you to Steve Coombes’ workflow when working with ACD/Structure Elucidator. Phil had a very nice section in his presentation about the “fringe benefits” he was able to derive outside of the...

Several months ago, I asked, “How Accurate Should NMR Predictions Be?” Today, I ask how accurate and consistent are actual experimental chemical shifts? In many ways, this post probably should have preceded the one I linked above because in reality, before a discussion about prediction accuracy can begin, the topic of experimental accuracy needs to...

Yesterday I blogged about how Phil Keyes has applied automated structure verification at Lexicon Pharmaceuticals to help validate compound registrations in an open access environment. Links to the latest performance statistics of our automated structure verification solution for both 1D 1H and combined 1D 1H and 2D HSQC structure verification can be found in the...

Several posts back I pointed you to a couple of articles ACD/Labs were involved in with regards to automated structure verification. I have pointed to these articles, but I have spent little time talking about it. I will now. For those new to this idea, it involves using software to automatically confirm the consistency between...

For those of you out there who do Metabonomics (or want to), you might be interested in learning more about what ACD/1D NMR Processor can do to help you process and analyze your data. Here are some things you should consider when evaluating software for this use: Very good processing algorithms are required. It think...

I have returned from SMASH after an enjoyable week in Chamonix. What a truly beautiful place. It was great to be in that atmosphere with many nice people from all over the world. I also must applaud the organizing committee for doing another wonderful job of coordination. I already find myself looking forward to next...

Those of you who have been following this blog through it’s first few month will no doubt have seen a few posts about the comparisons between ACD/Labs, Modgraph, CSEARCH, and the NMRShift DB. For those of you who have not followed this story but are intrigued, you have a lot of reading to do, starting...

So I will be presenting at our annual seminar at SMASH in a few weeks, and I always enjoy doing so. One thing I have picked up on over the years when presenting in our seminars, in addition to other seminars, is that look of curiosity and waiting that appears on the audience’s faces as...

And no…this one is not about Indirect Covariance 🙂 I am very pleased to inform you that a new article on Automated Structure Verification based on the combined verification algorithms in ACD/Labs NMR software is now available for early view online at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1002%2Fmrc.2034 This is a follow up to an article that was written last...
