tracerDB: a crowdsourced fluorescent tracer database for target engagement analysis

Nature Communications has published a new paper by Martin P. Schwalm from the Knapp lab (B03). They have created a novel open access database, dubbed tracerDB, to provide the research community with a knowledge base and a unified system for tracer and assay validation. This curated database contains detailed information on key reagents and associated data. Hence, the database facilitates the investigation of ligand-protein complexes, which in turn is essential in the area of chemical biology and drug discovery. The database can be accessed freely at https://www.tracerdb.org/
