PubChem is the National Library of Medicine's (NLM's) open chemistry database with data from over 1,000 academic, government, and industrial sources. The updated, free, self-paced PubChem tutorial guides you through how to access chemical property information, structure data, and links between PubChem and other resources (like PubMed).

The tutorial includes:

• Step-by-step directions for how to find chemical information using chemical names, identifiers, structures, molecular formulas, gene symbols, proteins, pathways, taxons, cell lines, and patent numbers.
• Hands-on interactive exercises to practice searching in PubChem.
• Short video demonstrations of searching PubChem with keywords and structures.
