Scope and considerations

Designed for

  • Search natural-product structures and related compounds.

Not designed for

  • A uniform set of experimentally validated spectral identifications.

Important requirements

  • A structure or text query, or a downloaded release for local use.

Considerations

  • Source collections differ in provenance and detail; inspect source links and record the release used.

Access and documentation

Open platform with downloadable data; review database and source-collection licenses.
