This paper illustrates the use of the program CCBond to determine the carbon skeletons of bioorganic molecules in low concentration samples. Discussed is the structure elucidation of bistramide A, a compound extracted from a Fijian Lissoclinum sp. and cholesterol in 71- and 20-mumol samples, respectively. The detection limit of the automated bond extraction is shown to be dramatically improved compared to the manual interpretation of 2D INADEQUATE spectra.
