Searching using UniChem
Suppose you are researching the small molecule yohimbine – an indole alkaloid that acts as an antagonist of alpha2 adrenoceptors. You have located the yohimbine entry in ChEBI (Figure 1), but wish to find other resources that might have additional information. This might include entries in other EMBL-EBI databases, other data resources, online compound libraries, patent databases or journal articles.
Look through the ChEBI entry and you will find an ID number – 10093 – the identifier that denotes yohimbine in the ChEBI database. We can use this as our query term for UniChem. Copy this ID and then navigate to UniChem.
