Mass Spectrometry-Based Research
Digital library of Indian medicinal plants and their metabolites is a mass spectrometry-based bioinformatics tool for new drug discovery and exploration of Indian medicinal plants chemical diversity (http://plantmetabolome.cdri.res.in).
•Identification of plant species based on their chemical fingerprint.
•Discovery of known bioactive compounds from previously unknown sources.
•Distribution of known compounds in different biological source (Plants/herbs).
•Identification of known/new derivatives of bioactive compounds in different biological source (Plants/herbs).
Tandem mass spectrum database for rapid identification of known compounds directly from crude extract using LC-MS/MS data (http://tmsdatabase.org).
