6. Outreach and social media
FACEBOOK: The number of ālikesā
increased to 4107 (March 2019), from
3749 in Sep 2018
TWITTER: @GuidetoPHARM has just
pipped 1,900 tweets, followers have
increased to 2670 from 2186 in Sep 2018
and our re-tweet rate has also gone up
LINKEDIN: The Curation Team have been
encouraging Subcommittee Chairs and
collaborators to increase their reciprocal
connectivity as individual LinkedIN users.
This expands our collective inter-network
outreach for posting updates, new
papers, etc.
BLOGGING: The Curation Team blog
(http://blog.guidetopharmacology.org/)
was receiving over ~670 views per month
over the last 6 months. This is our
primary news feed, includes database
release updates, new features, technical
items or articles
HOT TOPICS: As an established and
popular feature, our Hot Topics are
seeded in the form of new significant
pharmacology, drug discovery and key
human genomics papers. These are
communicated to us from NC-IUPHAR
and Subcommittee members, or picked
up from Twitter
SLIDESHARE: Our account
(http://www.slideshare.net/GuidetoPHAR
M) allows the database team to share
slide sets and posters with the
community thereby extending the reach
way beyond conference session direct
attendees. Our slide sets received 3,444
(+486) views over the past year
7. Interactions with database users
ā¦ We get a steady stream of user communications coming in to
enquiries@guidetopharmacology.org
ā¦ This is about one a week and they continue to cover a useful spectrum of
(mostly minor) fixes that we promptly address
ā¦ It is useful to catalogue these engagements as they provide valuable
information (not readily captured by analytics) in how and why GtoPdb is
used
ā¦ They also provide useful ideas for future development
ā¦ Some examples of the above are in the accompanying report
ā¦ Additionally, we also receive a steady stream of emails from BJP/BJCP
authors enquiring alerting us to missing links for ākeyā ligands and targets for
possible inclusion in accepted articles
ā¦ In appropriate cases, we then add these entities and the new reference
8. Interactions with other resources
ELIXIR: Engagements continue with this important Europe-
wide bioinformatics infrastructure initiative. GtoPdb is a UK
Node Resource. https://elixiruknode.org/
PUBCHEM: We continue our important interactions with PubChem, including by both
mail and TC conversations with Evan Bolton, Paul Theissen and other members of the
team
IUPHAR PHARMACOLOGY EDUCATION PROJECT (PEP): The IUPHAR Pharmacology
Education project continues to be developed āas a learning resource to support
education and training in pharmacological sciencesā. The PEP celebrated its 4th birthday
on 1st April 2019
JOURNAL < - > DATABASE CONNECTIVITY: The journal-to-GtoPdb linking initiative
PMID 25965085) for the BJP since Oct 2014 and BJCP since Nov 2016, can be counted
via the reference citations to our Concise Guide and NAR papers. The results indicate
outlinks for ~ 80% of BJP papers and ~ 50% for BJCP
9. Skye/Links Project
ā¢ Skye: ERC Consolidator Grant (James Cheney) to develop
programming language support for data curation. Dr. Simon
Fowler is the post-doc working on this.
ā¢ Links: Research programming language with support for multi-
tier web programming, language integration, and provenance
tracking
ā¢ Aims:
ā¢ Reimplement GtoPdb in Links
ā¢ Apply language features to a real-world scientific database
ā¢ Identify new language features useful for data curators
ā¢ Progress: Most core functionality implemented; hoping to start
on curation interface soon
10. Skye/Links Project
ā¢ http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/jcheney/group/skye.html
ā¢ Re-implementation of GtoPdb is useful to stress-test Links. It is
the largest real-world application ever written in Links
ā¢ Real benefit could be implementation of archiving and
provenance tracking within the curation tool
ā¢ Feedback from Simon Fowler describes the database schema of
GtoPdb as āexcellentā and āvery easy to understand and work
withā.
11. Interactions with suppliers
ā¦ In May 2018 we accepted sponsorship from Tocris
(https://www.tocris.com) in return for providing product supplier links
on our ligand summary pages
ā¦ This sponsorship was limited to one year. In total, we mapped 1258
GtoPdb ligand to Tocris compounds
ā¦ We have agreed to continue this arrangement and update these
sponsored links. We have begun preparations for the update and have
been provided with an updated set of compounds from Tocris. These
currently map to 1369 GtoPdb ligands. The new links will go live in
May 2019
14. Acquisition, browsers and devices
ā¦ It is useful to be aware of where users are accessing GtoPdb
and what devices/browsers they are using
ā¦ This can help us to better optimise the site and to ensure we
test across the most popular platforms
ā¦ The majority of sessions on GtoPdb come via organic search
(Google) and are performed predominantly from desktop
devices. Chrome is also the browse of choice
18. Web services statistics
ā¦ Tracking of our web-services has been in place since March 2017
ā¦ Calls to the web-service are generally from client computers to our server
and are not recorded in the same way as visits to our website
ā¦ Therefore, we canāt report details on specific users, such as location or
number of visits; only record the number of hits for each distinct URL
ā¦ There were approximately 105,000 total hits over the year, an increase of
around 13% on the previous period
ā¦ Calls to target and ligands saw a reduction, but we note an increase in calls
to interaction data and ligand similarity
ā¦ There was also a large increase in web service calls for ligand substructures,
diseases and database links
19. New features and developments
Web services: As part of the development of the
GtoImmuPdb we have added target and ligands of
immunological relevance, as well as the new
immunopharmacology data types to our web services
Renewal of supplier links: Already mentioned
Converting to HTTPS: Using HTTPS (secure connection) on
websites is becoming increasingly important (browsers and
search engines are starting to warn users when they access
an insecure site). Working with UoE Information Services,
this is now at the final stage of implementation
ChEMBL target links: We have updated all our outgoing
target links to ChEMBL based on the most recent ChEMBL
release (ChEMBL 25)
Switch to using Chemicalize Pro (ChemAxon): A key feature
of the IUPHAR Guide to Pharmacology website is the ability
to perform searches by chemical structure
(http://www.guidetopharmacology.org/GRAC/chemSearch.js
p). The chemical structure search tool utilises Marvin JS by
ChemAxon. In the 2019.1 release we have updated the API
control to use Chemicalize Pro
(https://pro.chemicalize.com/). This update simplifies the
integration of Marvin JS into our website
Update CDK libraries: We have updated the Chemical
Development Kit (CDK) library to version 2.2. This is used by
the Guide to Pharmacology to calculate molecular properties
of ligands curated in the database. As part of this update, we
performed a re-calculation of all molecular properties in the
database
Endogenous ligands: A new download file has been made
available on our downloads page. This file contains a list of
all ligands marked in the database as endogenous or natural
ligands for a given target
Transduction mechanisms: We have undertaken curatorial
work to consolidate our curated data on GPCR transduction
mechanism. In some cases, the database contained
inconsistent data between the transduction mechanism data
on a targets detailed view and its concise view. Our analysis
identified these cases and weāve put in place curatorial
protocols to fix
Page Navigation: We have updated our web-pages to
feature a drop-down navigation bar, which is revealed when
users scroll-down on longer pages. Many pages on GtoPdb
are quite long, particularly detailed targets pages (e.g. CB1
receptor) ā the new drop-down menu keeps key menu
items, and most importantly the site search, in focus at all
time
21. RDF
We continue to keep the RDF version of the Guide to
Pharmacology up-to-date at each release.
We have implemented an āearly-stageā SPARQL endpoint that uses
LodeStar as the web-application layer on top of the triple store.
This provides a graphical frontend to the RDF data and allows
control over SPARQL queries and provides the data in a human-
readable format. This can be accessed at
http://rdf.guidetopharmacology.org/
27. New targets
(not including Antimalarial targets):
ā¦ Poly ADP-ribose polymerases
ā¦ Prolyl hydroxylases
ā¦ Carbonic anhydrases
ā¦ Paraoxonases
ā¦ Vanin 1
ā¦ AQP11
ā¦ NRF2
ā¦ CA IX
ā¦ KIR3DL2 (CD158K)
ā¦ AC10 (adenylyl cyclase 10)
ā¦ Ī±Ī²-Hydrolase 12
ā¦ PVRIG
ā¦ C-type lectin domain family 12 member A
28. Relative target growth and coverage
ā¦ This can be assessed by comparing our own UniProt Human Swiss-Prot cross-
references for targets with quantitative interactions against the other major
chemogenomic resources that also have such cross-references; DrugBank,
BindingDB and ChEMBL
29. ā¦ The stats for the 2019.2 release (with 2018.4 in brackets) are as follows
(N.B. because the NCBI Entrez system suffers from overload the links
below may time out but should eventually return the result).
ā¦ Substances (SID) that we submit to PubChem (refreshing previous
submissions) are up to 9670 (9251).
ā¦ Those that have defined chemical structures are merged into 7478 (6969)
Compound Identifiers, CIDs (i.e. small molecules and moderate peptides)
ā¦ The select "IUPHAR/BPS Guide to PHARMACOLOGY"[SourceName] AND
approved [Comment] now retrieves 1518 SIDs (1457) .
ā¦ Of these 1328 (1278) have CIDs (use the āFind Related Dataā operator and select
āsame CIDsā.
ā¦ Of our SIDs, 1151 (993) are tagged in GtoImmuPdb and 282 (258) of these are
approved drugs
ā¦ Of our CIDs 724 are tagged in GtoImmuPdb
ā¦ Of our SIDs, 57 are tagged in GtoMPdb and 19 of these are approved drugs
ā¦ Of our CIDs 51 are tagged in GtoMPdb
ā¦ We have 1817 (1675) structures that ChEMBL23 does not have, 5456 not in
DrugBank and 6151 not in DrugCentral.
ā¦ 182 (95) structures unique to us as a source.
ā¦ PubChem has released a new interface that expands the indexing and
search functionality for our own entries (see example query beside) but
there are still some minor discrepancies in the exact metrics returned
compared to the Entrez interface.
