Every data modification is documented by 'Operator/Date/Reason' within the remark. This long list holds 2,388 literature citations with more than 6,000 spectra, which have been reassigned either during data-input and/or during our correction cycles.

It holds approx. 3 billions of structure-spectra pairs derived from 70,000,000 of PUBCHEM-Structures & Compounds (including the Chemspider structures). The average search time is somewhere between 1 and 2 seconds for 3 billions of structure-spectra pairs - not that bad for approx. 250GB of data !<br /><br />Feel free to test it: <a href="http://nmrpredict.orc.univie.ac.at/case/propose.php">http://nmrpredict.orc.univie.ac.at/case/propose.php</a><br /><br />Technical description: <a href="http://nmrpredict.orc.univie.ac.at/csearch_summary/strpro.html">http://nmrpredict.orc.univie.ac.at/csearch_summary/strpro.html</a><br /><br />The description of a C-NMR spectrum using a <strong>15-character 'Spectral Hashkey'</strong> as developed for this project <strong>allows indexing of spectral patterns similar to InChIKeys</strong> (for structures). Therefore spectral patterns can be searched using the usual text-based search-engines like google. Using this technique it is possible to put the correlation between a spectral pattern and its associated chemical structure on the web AND to search for it - <strong>you might be surprised how many authors 'sell' the same spectrum with different structural proposals to the community WITHOUT referencing their wrong original proposal</strong> ! With this technique we have a tool in hand, which allows us to answer the question <em>'Has somebody already seen this spectrum and which structure has been associated to it ?</em>' On the other hand this technique can be used to get structure proposals to a query peaktable.<br /><br /><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Feel free to test and post your feedback here !</span></strong></div>Wolfgang Robienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18294768167257474999noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8114624464462183402.post-30044859348352416722008-03-29T10:26:00.000+01:002008-03-29T10:38:01.184+01:00Revision of AssignmentOn my webpage <a href="http://nmrpredict.orc.univie.ac.at/csearchlite/NMRSHIFTDB_March_2008.html">http://nmrpredict.orc.univie.ac.at/csearchlite/NMRSHIFTDB_March_2008.html</a> I have proposed a reassignment of 10 signals (out of 16 !) solely based on spectrum prediction using CSEARCH despite the original assignment has been done by means of HH-COSY, HMQC and HMBC. I am glad that this proposals has been fully integrated into NMRShiftDB, obviously after extensive verification by another program according to the protocols of my web-server.<br /><br />The statement 'This was possible, because the data are open' is definitely wrong - within a more professional system such a wrong entry would never be able to step from the 'purgatory database' into the 'production database.'

I am definitely not talking about errors below 10ppm - I am talking about errors, which can be easily detected by application of appropriate computer algorithms using a few seconds of CPU-time.<br /><br />At the moment 2 examples are online - I promise 'More to come' ! - Stay tuned, check back !<br /><br /><a href="http://nmrpredict.orc.univie.ac.at/csearchlite/NMR_misinterpretation.html">http://nmrpredict.orc.univie.ac.at/csearchlite/NMR_misinterpretation.html</a><br /><br />In order to do a serious job I have to cite every paper in error I find during my daily work - BUT I dont want to blame somebody personally.

The only questions/remarks I have, deals with the efficiency of such a process in our world of 'parallel systems'.</div><br /><div> </div><br /><div><strong>A few facts first:</strong></div><br /><div><br />At the moment approx. 33 millions of organics are known. Chemspider holds approx. 21M, PUBCHEM-Compounds approx. 18M structures, which represents 2/3 of known chemistry. I know that within CHEMSPIDER structure correction is an ongoing process as it is e.g. within my own CSEARCH-project. NMRshiftdb has been severly improved over the last months, etc. </div><br /><div> </div><br /><div>Now all these systems exchange structures ..... 'A' gets 10,000 structures from 'B', 'A' does some corrections and gives its structures to 'C'. 'B' doesnt know A's corrections and gives also its structures to 'C'. Now 'C' has 2 "versions" of the same structure - in principle you can ignore that for an Inchikey-resolver, but the situation is much more complicated, because CHEMSPIDER, PUBCHEM, etc. have dozens of contributors. </div><br /><div> </div><br /><div>I have definitely understanding of data-curation and I know that data-curation is sometimes a work like 'Sherlock Holmes' has done, because experimental parts of publications (and especially NMR-assignments) tends to be cryptic. We have a lot of systems in parallel, everybody doing his/her job seriously, spends a lot of time on data-curation. What we need is not 10, 20, maybe 100 structure repositories - each of it is incomplete (see above). What we really need is <strong>ONE SINGLE STRUCTURE REPOSITORY</strong> ( we live on only <strong>ONE PLANET</strong> ! ) - now I also put my kevlar vest on and put 300 feet landmines around my house - we have it, its CAS ! Sorry to say so, but this is the most complete one. When you are interested in a specific structure and you dont find it in Chemspider, emolecules, Pubchem, etc. - what does this answer tell you. It simply tells you, it is not stored - <strong>it DOES NOT TELL you, that IT DOES NOT EXIST !</strong> I am quite sure I will be (hopefully only virtually) beaten by the community for this statement, but please keep in mind the relationship between 'new things' (algorithm, data, new procedures, etc.) and 'data-curation' when hosting a large database. The 'curation-effort' doesnt linearly increase with the size of the database - its at least a quadratic relationship. </div><br /><div> </div><br /><div>What we need is <strong>ONE, CENTRALIZED</strong> place for structures and 'retrieval functionality' (including this inchikey-resolver), which covers the <strong>COMPLETE KNOWN CHEMISTRY</strong> and <strong>NOT hundreds of incomplete and severly overlapping installations</strong>. Let me know, when I can put off my kevlar vest ;-))</div><br /><div> </div><br /><div>An example in order to convince that this (highly desirable) curation-process leads to a lot of confusion:</div><br /><div> </div><br /><div>Globostellatic acid F: was drawn with C-O-O-H (hydroperoxide) instead of a carboxyl group in NMRSHIFTDB -> the data went to PUBCHEM ( CID: 15938977 / original NMRSHIFTDB-number was 22047)</div><br /><div> </div><br /><div>Within NMRShiftDB this entry has been corrected: NMRSHIFTDB-number 20093989 and went again to PUBCHEM: CID=11526176</div><br /><div> </div><br /><div>Do a search on PUBCHEM for the name 'globostellatic' - you end up with 2 'globostellatic acid F' structures, one is correct, the other is a hydroperoxide instead of an acid. Its simply applied error-propagation ...... like in school, when you put your eyes into your neighbors work. When you copy it perfectly, you are <strong>consistent</strong>, but your examination might also be completely wrong, when your neighbor failes. In chemistry we have a more technical term - its called 'citation'.</div><br /><div> </div>Wolfgang Robienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18294768167257474999noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8114624464462183402.post-12346864033569447042008-02-05T13:27:00.000+01:002008-02-05T14:33:53.612+01:00Spectral Searching on PUBCHEM-StructuresAbout 2 years ago, a spectral search system based on 16M PUBCHEM structures (approx. 5M unique) has been built and made available on <a href="http://nmrpredict.orc.univie.ac.at/identify">http://nmrpredict.orc.univie.ac.at/identify</a> . It went online during May 2006.<br /><strong></strong><br /><strong>Some background information:</strong><br /><ul><li>C-NMR spectra have been calculated using CSEARCH-NN-technology</li><li>Spectral search technique is based on SAHO as implemented into CSEARCH</li><li>The main intention of this system is to get some feeling about the compound class for an unknown. It must be clearly stated, that a database of 5M unqiue structures is definitely too small to cover known organic chemistry (approx. 33M at 02/2007). <strong>When taking into account the possible structures for a given molecular formula, 5M structures represent a neglictable part of possible organic chemistry !</strong></li></ul><p>In the meantime there were massive updates on PUBCHEM - this was the reason for rerunning the predictions and implementing another (much faster) search technique - the principle is still based on Wolfgang Bremsers SAHO-technique - the speed has been increased to allow searching of 1 billion (10**9) of CNMR-spectra within less than 3 seconds on a single CPU. At the moment the system is only partly installed and allows searching of 405,704,611 spectral patterns (usually in 1.2-1.6 seconds).</p><p><strong>Key features</strong>:</p><ul><li>PREDICTED CNMR-spectra for approx. 23M unique structures downloaded from PUBCHEM using CSEARCH-NN-technology</li><li>Structures deposited from CHEMSPIDER are already included</li><li>Intention is again to give some flavour of possible compound classes for an unknown</li></ul><p>A detailed description of the search-technique will be given soon - stay tuned ! </p><p><strong>Another nice feature of this system: Whenever an experimental set of NMR-data is available within CSEARCH / SPECINFO / NMRPRedict / NMRShiftDB / CHEMGATE - this information is automatically included into the final resulting table of structures !</strong></p><p>Feel free to test it !

The databases behind consist of the combined collections of CSEARCH and SPECINFO.<br /><br />One out of many possible applications of such a program like NMRPredict is the field of structure-verification. An excellent example has been analyzed coming from the debate on 1,7-Diaza[12]annulenes, which have been shown by Manfred Christl to be well-known pyridinium salts. A simple spectral similarity search using NMRPredict - either applied by the authors of the 2 papers (Angew.Chem. & Org.Lett.) or by the referees - would have shown that these spectral data are known since 1980. A detailed analysis including screen dumps can be found on:<br /><br /><a href="http://nmrpredict.orc.univie.ac.at/csearchlite/Annulenes_or_Pyridines.html">http://nmrpredict.orc.univie.ac.at/csearchlite/Annulenes_or_Pyridines.html</a>Wolfgang Robienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18294768167257474999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8114624464462183402.post-57651070862730731712008-01-30T17:47:00.000+01:002008-01-30T18:11:16.331+01:00Prediction of H1-NMR SpectraThe prediction of H1-NMR spectra within MODGRAPH's NMRPredict-program is based on the algorithms developed by Ray Abraham's and Ernö Pretsch's groups. Both techniques have excellent performance on their own, but a combination of these method gives superior results.<br /><br />I am proud that I could apply the 'Best'-technology, which has been already successfully implemented into the HOSE-code and NN-based prediction engines for C13, to the H1-prediction module giving an average deviation of 0.18ppm on a testset of 90,000 well-assigned proton-spectra provided by Wiley. It was a great pleasure to me to work together with Ernö and Ray on this subject. We all know, that there is space for further improvements - the corresponding concepts are already there and are waiting for implementation and subsequent testing.<br /><br />For detailed information have a look into:<br /><a href="http://www.modgraph.co.uk/best_proton_press_release.htm">http://www.modgraph.co.uk/best_proton_press_release.htm</a><br /><br />Real-world structure verification examples can be found on the MESTRELAB RESEARCH webpage:<br /><a href="http://www.mestrec.com/recursos.php?idr=54&i18n=1">http://www.mestrec.com/recursos.php?idr=54&i18n=1</a><br /><a href="http://www.mestrec.com/recursos.php?idr=55&i18n=1">http://www.mestrec.com/recursos.php?idr=55&i18n=1</a>Wolfgang Robienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18294768167257474999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8114624464462183402.post-32723336458573043532008-01-08T09:29:00.000+01:002008-01-08T09:37:33.134+01:00NMR-Spectral Data and InChIKeysWithin my ongoing project to create a portal for existing NMR-spectral data, another set of some 90,000 structures has been made available to me.

For legal reasons only the automatic extraction of data from OA-journals seems to be possible, which reduces the number of available data. Therefore I simply want to see ONE, SINGLE FULLY ASSIGNED C-NMR spectrum. which has been AUTOMATICALLY EXTRACTED by OSCAR-3 from the chemical literature.<br /><br />A corresponding question has been deposited at Peter Murray-Rust's Weblog - I hope to get an answer. Check back, I'll keep you up-to-date.<br /><br /><strong>My questions can be found on</strong><br /><a href="http://wwmm.ch.cam.ac.uk/blogs/murrayrust/?p=916#comments">http://wwmm.ch.cam.ac.uk/blogs/murrayrust/?p=916#comments</a><br /><br /><strong>Just for your comparison:</strong><br />The increase of spectra within CSEARCH can be found <a href="http://nmrpredict.orc.univie.ac.at/csearchlite/update.htm">here</a> - without OSCAR-3 support <strong>;-))</strong>Wolfgang Robienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18294768167257474999noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8114624464462183402.post-22836736645084095322008-01-06T09:22:00.000+01:002008-01-06T14:17:02.945+01:00CSEARCH Data and InChIKeysInChIKeys are an excellent tool for identical structure searches on the web using the usual search-engines like google, yahoo, msn, etc. The architecture of the InChIKeys allows searching for two-dimensional topologies when using only the first 14 characters, whereas using the full InChIKey allows the inclusion of all additional features like stereochemistry.<br /><br />Within the CSEARCH-environment all structures have been converted into InChIKeys and together with my data-exchange protocols dating back into the late '80s a collection of links has been built. Each page summarizes for a specific two-dimensional molecular topology all systems, where the corresponding C13/O17/N15/F19/P31/B11/Si29-spectrum is available.<br /><br />The following systems have indexed:<br /><br />CSEARCH including upcoming data<br />SPECINFO<br />CHEMGATE<br />NMRPredict<br />NMRPredict ONLINE<br />KnowItAll<br />KnowItAll Anywhere<br />NMRShiftDB<br />University of Mainz, In-house database<br /><br />A total number of nearly half a million spectra from approx. 350,000 different structures has been indexed in a systematic way. The pages have already been crawled by the most important search engines.<br /><br />How to make use of this 'portal of existing NMR-spectral information' ?<br /><br />Generate the InchiKey for your query structure, e.g. this is "ABCDEFGHIJKLMN-ABCDEFGHIJ"; now take the first 14 characters (before the hyphen!) and construct the follwoing URL:<br /><br />http://nmrpredict.orc.univie.ac.at/inchikey/ABCDEFGHIJKLMN.html<br /><br />Request the corresponding page; in case this particular 'structure family' (=two-dimensional molecular topology) has C/O/N/F/P/B/Si NMR-data available in one of the above listed systems, you will get a list of links to them. In case there is no NMR-spectral information available, your http-request will be answered by a 'Page not found (404)' - error.Wolfgang Robienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18294768167257474999noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8114624464462183402.post-11181672273188086532008-01-05T14:34:00.000+01:002008-01-06T14:11:18.454+01:00StereochemistryMost of you are aware of the fact, that stereochemical information has been implemented into the CSEARCH-data during the early 1990's. Since 1996 stereochemical information can be utilized during spectrum prediction and different types of searches.<br /><br />Within our 2-step process of integrating new data, the second step consists mainly of adding stereochemical information to each record. During the past few days, stereochemical information has been added to some 2,000 records within CSEARCH. A detailed summary of the data-upgrades can be found on <a href="http://nmrpredict.orc.univie.ac.at/csearchlite/update.htm">http://nmrpredict.orc.univie.ac.at/csearchlite/update.htm</a>Wolfgang Robienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18294768167257474999noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8114624464462183402.post-9278306368631922702008-01-05T12:19:00.000+01:002008-01-05T19:39:46.062+01:00CSEARCH NMR-DatabaseThis blog will inform you about new developments within my CSEARCH-project.<br /><br />1) Information about new algorithms and spectral search techniques<br />2) Information about new data available<br />3) Information about new activities on my web-server 'nmrpredict.orc.univie.ac.at'<br /><br />Your feedback is highly appreciated !
