After the Slashdot feature today, I played a little with it and was little disappointed to obtain only 6 protein kinase inhibitors, 2 Caspase inhibitors and no assays for these activities. It will definitely take some time before the data base seriously competes with private efforts but let's sit back and wait and review this in September, when the service will be up for one year.
