MOTIVATION: To represent various aspects of receptors effectively, we
developed the receptor database (RDB), using an object-oriented database
management system ACEDB and the Internet/WWW technology. RESULTS: RDB was
constructed so that the system collects data items such as attributes of
proteins from distributed data sources of the Internet, and so that it
provides various viewing tools effectively, depending on different types of
receptor data. Such sources include standard international biological
databases such as the up-to-date database of PIR, Swiss Prot, PDB, GenBank
and GDB. Application to the endocrine disruptor problem is presented.
AVAILABILITY: RDB is available through the Internet at
