Adding NPA database? #169

Open typewritermonkey opened 1 week ago

typewritermonkey commented 1 week ago

Hi, not really an issue but a request, would you be able to add the Natural Products Atlas database to the searchable database list in the next update? Its useful for people doing microbial metabolomics.

marcus-ludwig commented 1 week ago

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. Yes, we have not added some of the smaller, specific databases such as NPAtlas. I believe we can never provide all databases users are interested in. But with the latest version, SIRIUS 6, we added LOTUS which may give you similar information (I think it uses NPAtlas as one of many sources): https://lotus.naturalproducts.net/

Please feel free to re-open the issue and comment if you think NPAtlas provides specific information that you can't obtain using LOTUS.

Ok yeah I can understand not wanting to add every smaller db it's just if you know you are looking for microbial compounds specifically it's helpful to have a microbes only database. Is there a way I can convert it myself and add it as a custom library to Sirius? I can download it as an excel or tsv file with Smiles and Inchis

Yes, you can import custom databases: https://v6.docs.sirius-ms.io/gui/#import-of-custom-structure-and-spectra-databases.

Currently, a limitation of custom databases is that you cannot automatically link to the database website. You still need to search it manually.

To import the data either use a .tsv file of smiles (and optionally id and name in the 2nd and 3rd column, no header) or use a .sdf.
