Heuristically Determined Formula by Mass

This page is meant to be a tool for mass spectrometry. The formula masses for over 400 million formulas have been calculated and stored. Because of the large combinatorial problem, formulas with natural abundance masses less than 2000 daltons were calculated and heuristic rules were used to limit the formulas to those that are most likely to be found in nature. These rules were obtained from the paper by Kind and Fiehn, "Seven Golden Rules for heuristic filtering of molecular formulas obtained by accurate mass spectrometry" (Kind T. and Fiehn O. BMC Bioinformatics. 2007 Mar 27;8:105)
