Abstract. 1,2-Dioxetanes are well-known for their chemiluminescent decomposition initiated by O–O bond scission. Under thermal conditions, this chemilumine

The remarkable reported in vitro and in vivo antiviral activity of a commercial, naturally derived, isoquercitrin sample (IQC90) against Ebola (EBOV), Zika virus (ZIKV), and SARS-CoV-2 could not be co...

Protein structure is conserved beyond sequence, making multiple structural alignment (MSTA) essential for analyzing distantly related proteins. Computational prediction methods have vastly extended ou...

An advanced metabolomic workflow featuring expert knowledge-tailored mass spectral queries and multi-informative molecular networking was applied to French DNA-barcoded collections of Amanita species ...

In this study, we revise the structures of the marine sponge-derived pyrone-deoxyribosides tetillapyrone and nortetillapyrone, as well as the semisynthetic derivative tetillapyrone diacetate, to the n...

We present g-xTB, a next-generation semi-empirical electronic structure method derived from tight-binding (TB) approximations to Kohn–Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT). Designed to bridge the ga...

In this work, we propose a new Global Optimization Algorithm (GOAT) for molecules and clusters of atoms and show how it can find the global energy minima for both systems without resorting to molecul...

Quantum chemical spectroscopic calculations have grown increasingly popular in natural products research for aiding the elucidation of chemical structures, especially their stereochemical configurations. These calculations have become faster with modern computational speeds, but subsequent data handling, inspection, and presentation remain key bottlenecks for many researchers. In this article, we introduce the SpectroIBIS computer program as a user-friendly tool to automate tedious tasks commonly encountered in this workflow. Through a simple graphical user interface, researchers can drag and drop Gaussian or ORCA output files to produce Boltzmann-averaged ECD, VCD, UV–vis and IR data, optical rotations, and/or 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts in seconds. Also produced are formatted, publication-quality supplementary data tables containing conformer energies and atomic coordinates, saved to a DOCX file compatible with Microsoft Word and LibreOffice. Importantly, SpectroIBIS can assist researchers in finding common calculation issues by automatically checking for redundant conformers and imaginary frequencies. Additional useful features include recognition of conformer energy recalculations at a higher theory level, and automated generation of input files for quantum chemistry programs with optional exclusion of high-energy conformers. Lastly, we demonstrate the applicability of SpectroIBIS with spectroscopic calculations for five natural products. SpectroIBIS is open-source software available as a free desktop application (https://github.com/bbulcock/SpectroIBIS).
