SciFinder Scholar   is the foremost database in the chemical sciences. It provides citation information from over 10,000 currently published journals, and patent information from the major international patent authorities. In addition to journal access, SciFinder Scholar provides extensive substance information for organic and inorganic substances. This information includes experimental and calculated property data, molecular formula, structure diagrams, nucleic acid and protein sequences, and ring analysis data.  Also includes information on 36.5 million single and multi-step reactions, information on regulated chemicals worldwide, and information on 20 million commercially available substances.  The unique sub-structure search module allows you to draw a molecular substructure and search it against the database.
