Summary: How to find information about drug and its receptor with known 3-D structure?



 Dear all,
 About one week ago, I posted the following question:
  Hi, dear all,
  Can anyone give me some suggestion about where
  (database, website, ftp,
  etc.) can I find drugs which inhibit particular
  receptors with known 3-D
  structure, as well as the structure information of
  those drugs?
 Now, here is the only replying to my question I got:

 Hi,
 If u have the name or chemical formula of the drug u
 can search u can get the crystallographic data using
 thr Cambridge structural database (CSD) for small
 molecules. U can also look into the HIC-Up database
 for the ligand information which is linked up to the
 RCSB protein databank under "links". U can also find
 the ligand - protein contacts link thro' the RCSB
 links page.Hope this helps, happy journey thro' these
 websites.
