Exploiting FAIR interoperability from the ELIXIR –UK IUPHAR/BPS Guide to Pharmacology to an expanding range of ligands, targets, publications and patents

The IUPHAR/BPS Guide to Pharmacology (GtoPdb; www.guidetopharmacology.org, PMID: 3789734)  is an open-access, expert-curated, FAIR-compliant (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) online database of pharmacological targets and the substances that act on them. Its reputation for quality is recognised by a Hidden REF award and selection as both an ELIXIR-UK and Global Core Biodata Resource. We continue to expand connectivity of our curated entities to external resources in other quality databases.  These consequently offer an expanding range of powerful navigation and data mining options across chemical structures, sequences and documents that users may not be aware of but will be outlined here
