What’s New in Mnova 8.0.0

New Features

Enhancements in the Assignment Module.

1. Auto-assignments Mnova provides a very simple interface to automatically assign your molecules to the applicable 1H-NMR spectrum. Mnova will automatically run a multiplet analysis and will fully assign your spectrum to the corresponding molecular structure *Please note that this feature needs a license of the Mnova NMR and Modgraph NMRPRedict Desktop plugins

2. Feature to swap assignment It will be possible to swap assignments if previously they were wrongly assigned as illustrated in the figure below, where assignments (3) and (6) must be swapped. 3. Capability to assign to several compounds It will be possible to assign the same spectrum to different compounds in a mixture and to select a different color for the assignments of each compound. In the example below the assignments labels of the quinine appears in blue and the assignments labels of the EtOAc are showed in green:

4. Capability to change atom labels and numbering from the Assignment Table It will be possible to change the label of a -CH2 group, just by double clicking on the applicable ‘atom cell’. You can also change the atom number by double clicking on the applicable atom cell. 5. Export Assignments as ASCII It will be possible to export the assignments as an ASCII file, just by following the menu ‘File/Save As/Script: Assignments’

Enhancements in the Peaks

1- Capability to select the compound for each peak You will be able to select the compound for each peak from the Peaks Table or by right clicking on the Peak label and selecting ‘Set Peak Compound’

2- Capability to show Peaks Table only for a given compound If the spectrum contains peaks belonging to more than one compound, we can show only the peaks assigned to one of them (by using the ‘Filter’ button):

3- Capability to create a synthetic spectrum from the Peaks table The ‘New spectrum’ button will generate a synthetic spectrum from the selected peaks in the table or for all the peaks shown in the table if there is no selection.

4- Capability to merge peaks It will be possible to merge peaks (very useful for 2D) just by selecting the applicable option in the Peak Picking scroll down menu and clicking and dragging on your spectrum. 5- Capability to edit Peak Type at the multiplet level Right clicking on the multiplet box will allow you to change the ‘Peak Type’ (from compound to impurity, solvent, artifact, etc) or to assign the peaks inside the multiplet to a specific compound

6- Fit to the highest compound This new feature will adjust the display of spectral intensity in both 1D and 2D spectra so that the strongest compound signal is optimally displayed (discarding solvent or impurity peaks)   7 -Improvement in the Absolute Referencing Dialog box. All spectra are now automatically checked

Enhancements in the Multiplet Analysis Feature

1- Capability to export multiplets into spin simulation module The table of multiplets can be used for the simulation of a synthetic spectrum.

2- Converter to simulate spectra from lists of multiplets in XML format. It will be also possible to synthesize a spectrum, just by loading a XML file with information about the multiplets. 3- Display multiplet boxes for a specific compound only If the spectrum contains peaks belonging to more than one compound, we can show only the peaks assigned to one of them by filtering the desired peaks in the Peaks Table. Checking the ‘Follow Peak Visibility rules’ box will allow you to show only the multiplet boxes applicable to those visible peaks.

4- Display the Multiplets Integrals by default The multiplet integrals curves are shown by default in Mnova 8

2D and 1D Spectra interaction

1- Capability to drag&drop 1D spectra over a 2D dataset to use them as external traces It will be possible to drag and drop any currently opened 1D-NMR spectrum to a 2D NMR dataset in order to get them as traces. Here you can see how the page number 1, containing a 1H dataset is dropped to the HSQC to get the horizontal trace:

The same can be done with the page 2 (containing a 13C spectrum) to get the vertical trace:

2- Automatic Referencing of 2D spectra with 1H external traces It is possible to automatically reference a 2D-NMR spectrum directly with the 1H external trace, from the ‘Setup Traces’ dialog box:

Other New Features

1- New Whitening phase correction algorithm for 1D NMR datasets Mnova incorporates a new method for fully automated phasing of Fourier transform NMR spectra based on a combination of the whitening and the metabonomics method.   2- Ability to customize default phase correction method You can select by default an automatic phase correction made by Mnova or to use the phase correction imported from the NMR spectrometer.

3- Spectrum resolution added to ‘Info View’ window of Crosshair The Crosshair window will show the spectrum resolution:

4- Add class column in the Stacked Spectra and Parameters table In the context of metabolomics, you would need to classify the stacked spectra by specifying a class in the ‘Stacked Spectra Table’.

5- Capability to select/deselect available series on a graph plot. Right clicking on the Data Analysis Graphic, will allow you to update the graph after having made changes in the Stacked Spectra Table or directly on the stacked spectra (very useful, for example if you invert the order of the spectra). If you have more than one curve on the Data Analysis Graphic, you will be able to select/deselect available “series” (curves) on the plot.

6- Import XY data (txt and csv format) into Data Analysis It will be possible to fill the Data Analysis panel just by loading the XY data in txt or csv format 7- Capability to guess the kinetic reaction order Mnova will try to guess the order of the reaction, fitting the data to standard equations and comparing the mean square error.

8- ‘Average Sum’ mode for the binning The ‘Average Sum’ will divide the sum by the number of points on the bin

9- Capability to show the baseline from the Properties dialog box It will be possible to draw the baseline by selecting the applicable option in the ‘Properties/Grid’ dialog box (very useful if you have removed the vertical scale):

10- Ability to use imported or automatic Apodization values From the preferences menu, the user will have the capability to import the apodization and baseline correction made on the spectrometer
