Chemical shift prediction in 13C NMR spectroscopy using ensembles of message passing neural networks (MPNNs)

This study reports a deep learning approach that utilises message passing neural networks (MPNNs) for predicting chemical shifts in 13C NMR spectra of small molecules. MPNNs were trained on two distinct datasets: one with approximately 4000 labelled structures and another with over 40,000.

J-filter: An experiment to simplify and isolate specific signals in 1H NMR spectra of complex mixtures based on scalar coupling constants

One-dimensional selective NMR experiments relying on a J-filter element are proposed to isolate specific signals in crowded 1H spectral regions. The J-filter allows the edition or filtering of signals in a region of interest of the spectrum by exploiting the specific values of their 1H-1H coupling constants and certain parameters of protons coupled to them that appear in less congested parts of the spectrum (chemical shifts and coupling constants).

Efficiently driving protein-based fragment screening and lead discovery using two-dimensional NMR

Fragment-based drug discovery (FBDD) and validation of small molecule binders using NMR spectroscopy is an established and widely used method in the early stages of drug discovery. Starting from a library of small compounds, ligand- or protein-observed NMR methods are employed to detect binders, typically weak, that become the starting points for structure-activity relationships (SAR) by NMR.

A CASE (Computer-Assisted Structure Elucidation) for Bench-Top NMR Systems in the Undergraduate Laboratory for De Novo Structure Determination: How Well Can We Do?

The recent popularity of benchtop (BT) NMR systems has prompted its applications in undergraduate laboratories around the world. Owing to their low maintenance cost, due to the lack of a superconducting magnetic core, and simple operation, these BT NMR systems can fulfill many of the learning objectives outlined in the undergraduate organic chemistry curricula.
