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...

I’ve blogged and pointed a little bit to the ChemSpider service over the last few months. It’s a service that my former colleague, Tony Williams along with others is working on, so I think it has great potential. It looks as if they have taken another step in the right direction by allowing users to...

To follow up with my post on the “Curse of Knowedge” I thought I would make an attempt to share some more things that we dangerously “assume” you know about, but in fact, you might not. Here, in my opinion, are 5 of the best kept secrets in our NMR software. Features, products, and applications...

I recently read a great book by brothers, Chip and Dan Heath called Made to Stick. It’s basically a book about how to make ideas stick. It’s a terrific read and I would highly recommend it to anyone who teaches chemistry, NMR, or anything for that matter. There are some great insights in the book....

You may or may not be aware that version 10 of ACD/HNMR and CNMR Predictor now offer the option to generate predictions using a neural network algorithm. For those of you who have followed ACD/Labs for years, you may observe this as an intriguing development. Since the release of our NMR prediction packages many years...

Perhaps some readers will believe that I have spent too many posts on the NMRShiftDB debate. I would like to re-iterate that one of my main purposes for creating this blog was to keep the public informed on the world of NMR software. In this particular debate, it has been possible to inform users of...
