ACD/Labs Online (I-Lab)
Customized Access to Any ACD/I-Lab Service Using Web Forms
To provide fast and easy customized access to the ACD/Labs Online (I-Lab) resources, you can use either formatted http requests or HTML forms containing hidden and visible data elements. Your HTML form should contain a number of required parameters (such as a code for an I-Lab Service or user session ID) and optional parameters necessary to carry out a calculation. You can use your own drawing tool to pass a chemical structure (or molfile) to the I-Lab engine, or use ACD/Labs own drawing interface. Note that a person submitting a request should have a valid account with ACD/Labs Online (I-Lab) in order to perform the calculation.
Below you can see an example form that allows you to obtain an IUPAC chemical name for your uploaded structure. In a similar way, forms can be set up to calculate a number of physicochemical parameters, predict an NMR spectrum, or search spectral and PhysChem databases.
After you've selected the required calculation options, uploaded a molfile and clicked Submit, the chemical structure is automatically forwarded to the ACD/Structure Drawing Applet incorporated into I-Lab to perform a prediction or search. Note that at this stage you will be asked for your ACD/Labs Online (I-Lab) login and password. If you are not yet registered with I-Lab you can do so here.
To learn more about establishing the customized access to the ACD/Labs Online from your own web site, please download the package with instructions and examples.
