PubChem PUG REST beta release
PubChem PUG REST – a RESTful web interface to PubChem data and services. Documentation and examples are available athttp://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pug_rest/ . This service is considered to be in a beta state right now, meaning it is under active development and some changes may occur but the interface should be mostly stable. The purpose of this beta release is to make some basic functionality available now, and to invite feedback from the PubChem user community. Please try it out and tell us what you think; contact pubchem-help@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov with questions, problems, or suggestions for new feat...

Therapeutic Target Database deposited structures in PubChem
Structures from the Therapeutic Target Database (TTD) are now available in PubChem.Therapeutic Target Database (TTD) is a database to provide information about the known and explored therapeutic protein and nucleic acid targets, the targeted disease, pathway information and the corresponding drugs directed at each of these targets. Also included in this database are links to relevant databases containing information about target function, sequence, 3D structure, ligand binding properties, enzyme nomenclature and drug structure, therapeutic class, clinical development status. All information provided are fully refe...

IBM contributed structures in PubChem
More than 2.5 million structures from the IBM BAO (Business Analytics and Optimization) strategic IP insight platform (SIIP) are now available in PubChem, aggregating data from millions of patents and from the scientific literature through the year 2000. The chemical substances were extracted from the textual content, images, and symbols in patents and literature. The PubChem records link to the IBM web site, where files that list the patent numbers and PubMed IDs for each substance can be downloaded. See more related news... (Source: PubChem News)

PubChem3D added as a new layer
A new layer called PubChem3D is added to PubChem to assist with interrelating diverse chemical structures with similar biological efficacies against targets. As a part of this, PubChem computes a 3-D conformer model description for records in the PubChem Compound database when possible (92% of all records when considering the parent compound of salts). A pre-computed search per compound record gives immediate access to a set of 3-D similar compounds (called "Similar Conformers") in PubChem and their respective superpositions. Systematic augmentation of PubChem resources to include a 3-D layer provides users with ne...

PubChem growth in 2011
PubChem in 2011 - Growth Continues PubChem's information content continues to increase. As of August, 2011, deposited substance records have reached 85 million, representing to over 30 million chemically unique compounds. Deposited bioassay records have reached 500 thousand, representing over 130 million experimental bioactivity results. New substance and bioassay records continue to be deposited, and the PubChem team expects that the steady growth in content and usage seen over the past 7 years will continue. (Source: PubChem News)

PubChem's new data retrieving tool released
PubChem is now providing an enhanced bioactivity analysis tool for retrieving bioassay data for a chemical. The tool can be accessed at http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/assay/assay.cgi?cid=myCID for a given CID or http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/assay/assay.cgisid=mySID for a given SID. E.g. For CID 2244, the link is: http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/assay/assay.cgi?cid=2244  To find out a CID associated with bioactivity data, you may follow the URL at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pccompound?term=pccompound_pcassay_active[filt]. Similarly, to find out a SID associated with bioactivity data, you may follow the URL ...

The BioAssay data specification updated
The BioAssay data specification has been updated. The changes include: New units in PC-ResultType to facilitate DMPK data submission. A new element "type" in PC-AnnotatedXRef to record primary citation to advertise primary publications of the depositors and the bioassay results. A new element "type" in PC-AssayDRAttr to record experimental vs. calculated dose-response data points.
