ICEBERG Spectrum Retrieval (PubChem Atlas)

Query spectra

Paste one or more MS/MS spectra below. For multiple collision energies, click “Add another spectrum” and select the corresponding NCE (5–100%). The NCE will be converted to absolute eV using the precursor m/z computed from the formula and adduct.

If provided, spectra in the .ms file (one block per collision energy) will be parsed and used as query spectra. You can still edit the collision energy and peaks below.

Use spectra of a phospholipid standard (C27H56NO7P).

Uploads an MGF file (multiple features); select which feature to use as the query spectrum below. Metadata parsing is best-effort — please verify that the formula, adduct, and collision energy loaded correctly before running retrieval.

Spectrum 1
Helps remove electronic noise before computing entropy similarity.

Explore the atlas

Search by SMILES, compound name, InChI, InChIKey, or PubChem CID to view ICEBERG-predicted spectra from the precomputed atlas. Browse collision energies, hover substructure thumbnails to highlight peaks, and click a peak or thumbnail to see the predicted fragment.

  2. Set the Name to View in ICEBERG.
  3. Paste the following as the URL / Location:
javascript:(function(){var m=location.pathname.match(/\/compound\/(\d+)/);if(m){window.open('https://iceberg-ms.mit.edu/#explore?query='+m[1]+'&query_type=cid&src=pubchem');}else{var n=location.pathname.match(/\/compound\/([^\/\?#]+)/);if(n){window.open('https://iceberg-ms.mit.edu/#explore?query='+encodeURIComponent(n[1])+'&query_type=name&src=pubchem');}else{alert('No PubChem compound found in this page URL.');}}})();

No bookmarklet? You can also paste any PubChem CID number directly into the search box above — the Smart query type will detect it automatically.

Download predicted spectra (.mgf / .msp)

Download ICEBERG-predicted spectra for a specific PubChem formula from the atlas. You can either download the raw MGF only, or download MGF and a converted MSP file.
All NIST'23 structures are excluded to avoid license conflict. You can import the predicted library into your NIST MS Search software.

The current ICEBERG PubChem atlas contains 91,424,208 unique structures from PubChem.

About ICEBERG

ICEBERG is a neural network model that predicts mass spectra from molecular structures. It can be used to elucidate unknown structures given mass spec.
