Chemical Information Instructor
Introduction to Structure Searching with SciFinder Scholar
Damon D. Ridley
School of Chemistry, University of Sydney, N.S.W. 2006, Australia
Cover
April 2001
Vol. 78 No. 4
p. 559
Abstract
CAS Registry Numbers provide a key to searching for chemical substances in CAS databases, and the challenge is to obtain the Registry Numbers for all the substances required. When the substances can be represented by structures, then one option is to find the Registry Numbers through structure searches. With SciFinder Scholar, the process of drawing and searching structures is intuitive; however, there are underlying issues and opportunities that need some explanation in courses on chemical information retrieval.We describe here our introductory course, which addresses the major ones.
Supplement
Information and instructions for the students and notes for the instructor are available.
