Overview
The Natural Products Atlas links microbial natural products to origins and references, with tools for structural and chemical-space exploration.
What can this tool do?
Common uses
- Find related microbial natural-product scaffolds.
- Trace a reported compound back to its isolation literature.
Scientific fit
Primary function
Reference data and database search
Data compatibility
Inputs
Compound list or annotations, Molecular structures
Outputs
Compound list or annotations, Molecular structures
Input formats
Other, Names, molecular properties or structures
Output formats
Other, Structures, origin records and references
Scope and considerations
Designed for
- Find related microbial natural-product scaffolds.
Not designed for
- A complete reference for all plant, animal or synthetic compounds.
Important requirements
- A compound name, molecular property or structure-based search.
Considerations
- Reported origin is contextual evidence; it does not establish that a compound in a new sample came from the same organism.
