Search Toxins

Build advanced queries across curated toxin records — names, activity, taxonomy, literature, sequences, and more.

How to use Search

Choose a Search Field from the grouped list (Toxin Metadata, Biological Activity, Protein Information, Source Species Taxonomy, Literature Information, Mature Toxin Mass).

After you pick a field, the form shows the operators and inputs for that field:

  • Text fields (name, synonym, description, accession, literature, historic taxonomy, molecular target): use like, not like, is, or is not, and type your term. Matching suggestions appear as you type where autocomplete is available.
  • List fields (toxin group, biological activity, species, family, common name, PTMs, phyletic specificities): pick a value from the dropdown with is or is not.
  • Molecular target: use the tree icon to browse the target hierarchy, or type with autocomplete.
  • Numeric fields (masses, dosages, IC50/ED50/Kd, counts, dates, discovery year): use =, <, <=, >, or >= with one or two values to set a range. Concentration fields also include a unit selector.

Add another clause with the yellow + button. Extra rows show a button to remove that clause. Join clauses with and, or, or but not from the dropdown at the start of each additional row.

Click Search to run the query. Results appear in a paginated table; toxin names link to toxin cards in a new tab.

After a search, use Download PDF or Download CSV below the results to export the current result set (FAIR-compliant CSV). Optionally tick IC50, molecular target, ED50, or Kd columns to include in the export.
