Things began to change with the appearance of SDBS 14 years ago. It was the first really useful thing I found on the web. The last discoveries are Spinus and nmrdb.org. SPINUS-WEB SPINUS (Structure-based Predictions In NUclear magnetic resonance Spectroscopy) is an on-going project for the development of structure-based tools for fast prediction of NMR spectra. SPINUS - WEB currently accepts molecular structures via a Java molecular editor, and estimates 1H NMR chemical shifts. The predictions are obtained from ensembles of previously trained ...
