Today's data intensive interdisciplinary research challenges scientists to keep up to date with key experimental techniques and tools reported in the literature. The International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology Database (IUPHAR DB) goes some way to addressing this need by providing expert curated information sourced from primary literature and displayed in a user friendly manner online. The database provides a channel for the IUPHAR Nomenclature Committee (NC IUPHAR) to provide recommendations on the nomenclature of receptors and ion channels to document their properties and the ligands that are useful for receptor characterization. Here we describe IUPHAR DB's main features and provide examples of techniques for navigating and exploring the information. The database is freely available online at http://www.iuphar db.org/. |
