The purpose of this project was to identify novel research reagents (protein function modulators and molecular probes) and discover candidate compounds for drug development. A large set of substances were tested for biological activity in high-throughput assays. The substances were cataloged in the PubChem Substance <a class="def" href="/books/n/handbook2e/glossary/def-item/database/">database</a> and the description, supporting information, and results of the studies were stored in the PubChem BioAssay database. To increase the utility of these databases, a derivative database, PubChem Compound, was created by the PubChem group to consolidate and provide a cross-referencing platform for common chemical components of the substances.</p><p>Since its inception, the scope of these resources has been dramatically expanded for use by an expanding and diverse variety of researchers, from organic chemists to molecular biologists to drug design specialists.

</p><p>For example, a Molecular Libraries Screening Center Laboratory at Emory University submitted an Estrogen Receptor-alpha coactivator high-throughput chemical binding screen. This was given the PubChem BioAssay Identifier <a href="http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/assay/assay.cgi?aid=629" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">AID 629</a>. Around the same time, a collaborating group, the Molecular Libraries Screening Center’s Small Molecule Repository, submitted information about the substances in their system including 86,096 that were tested in this particular assay. One of those tested and found to be active in AID 629 was given the PubChem Substance Identifier <a href="https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/summary/summary.cgi?sid=855958" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">SID 855958</a>, which was one of the many linked to the PubChem BioAssay record.</p><p>In addition to AID 629, this same substance (SID 855958) was tested in over 2,900 assays by various groups. Further information about this chemical was uploaded to the PubChem group by several other organizations including biological property databases, journal publishers, and chemical vendors as submissions to create their own PubChem Substance records. As of December 1, 2013, 284 PubChem Substance records were submitted for this same chemical.
