Mass spectra reflect the structural features of molecules and so structural information is essential for the their interpretation and the investigation of structure-spectra relationships. Mass Frontier incorporates the structure drawing tool Structure Editor, which permits the interactive handling of all kinds of structural information. Structure Editor is a full-featured structure drawing tool for editing, importing, exporting and checking chemical structures. Structure Editor is the gateway to four other modules in this program: Database Manager, Fragments & Mechanism, Fragmentation Library, and Isotope Pattern.
