JMSpec


This program was developed in conjunction with another graduate student, Diana Samaroo, doing research porphyrin synthesis.  After synthesizing the porphyrins, a mass spec was done to assess the purity of the products.  The problem was that the mass spec procedure would break apart the products and lead to may additional peaks in the spectrum.  This program simple calculates all the possible products that could be obtained so that the unknown peaks can be identified.  It was later extended to also generate porphyrin libraries as well.

You can run it as an applet as well as an application.  Both of them can be found here.  To run as an application, simple click on "Download" and save the jmspec.jar file to the desktop.  Double clicking on this file should bring up the program window.
