IAP 2007 Activity


PubChem Essentials
Erja Kajosalo, Rana C. Morris, Ph.D., NCBI Teaching Faculty
Wed Jan 24, 09am-12:00pm, 14N-132 (DIRC)

Enrollment limited: first come, first served
Limited to 20 participants.
Single session event

Led by an expert scientist from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), this course shows how to effectively use the NCBI PubChem system: a collection of databases, search services, and analysis tools that focus on small chemicals and their biological activities.

This class will help you understand the content and organization of the PubChem databases and how these data are submitted to and curated by NCBI. In hands-on computer exercises, you will learn how to find information on small molecular compounds including relevant literature abstracts; associations with proteins, genes and metabolic pathways; and experimental data from biological activity assays. In addition, you will learn how to perform structure searches to find related compounds and groups of compounds with similar bioactivity profiles.
