Conclusion

The 2025 release of GPCRdb significantly enhances the database by adding all human odorant receptors and new tools for data visualization and ligand search.

Supporting Evidence

  • The GPCR database GPCRdb now includes all 407 human odorant receptors and their orthologs.
  • New tools allow users to visualize their own data on receptor plots.
  • Structure models of physiological ligand complexes have been added to the database.

Takeaway

This study updates a database that helps scientists understand how certain receptors in our body work, especially those related to smell, and adds new tools to make it easier to use.

Methodology

The study involved updating the GPCRdb database with new data on human odorant receptors and implementing new tools for data mapping and ligand searches.
