NPBS

NPBS compiles curated relational data linking natural products to their biological sources, providing chemical structures, computable molecular properties, and literature references to support natural product research.

Key Features:

• Relational Data: Links specific species to derived natural products and vice versa, representing bidirectional source–product relationships.
• Diverse Biological Sources: Covers biological sources including plant, bacterial, fungal, and marine organisms.
• Chemical Structure Data: Provides detailed chemical structure information for each natural molecule.
• Computable Molecular Properties: Includes computable molecular properties to enable downstream computational analyses.
• References: Associates all relational entries with literature references for traceability and verification.

Scientific Applications:

• Dereplication: Facilitates dereplication to avoid redundant isolation and characterization of known natural products.
• Biodiversity Exploration: Supports biodiversity studies and the discovery of novel compounds from under‑researched organisms.

Methodology:

Manually curated from extensive literature reviews with verification of relational data against cited references.
