tooluniverse-gpcr-structural-pharmacology

tooluniverse-gpcr-structural-pharmacology is a skill for Claude Code from mims-harvard/ToolUniverse. It costs 89 tokens per session (3,556 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A research workflow for studying GPCRs, cell-surface proteins targeted by many medicines, and how drugs or antibodies bind and activate them. It classifies drug actions and uses structural and pharmacology databases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for GPCR drug-discovery research, receptor-subtype selectivity, biased-agonism analysis, receptor–ligand binding, and antibody–receptor interface questions.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish similar drug effects, such as blocking a receptor versus activating only one of its signaling pathways. It also reduces errors from using the wrong receptor record, structure, or numbering system.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tooluniverse-gpcr-structural-pharmacology scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

GPCR and Structural Pharmacology Research

GPCR pharmacology: agonist vs antagonist vs inverse agonist vs biased agonist — each has different clinical implications. Biased agonism (preferential G-protein vs β-arrestin signaling) can separate efficacy from side effects; for example, G-protein-biased opioid agonists aim to retain analgesia while reducing β-arrestin-mediated respiratory depression. Always classify retrieved ligands by their pharmacological type, not just their chemical structure. Receptor state (active vs inactive crystal structure) determines which ligands and mutations are interpretable — an inactive-state structure is appropriate for antagonist binding analysis, active-state for agonist-bound complexes. Generic GPCR numbering (Ballesteros-Weinstein) enables cross-receptor mutation comparison; always report positions in this system alongside sequence positions.

LOOK UP DON'T GUESS: never assume GPCRdb entry names (e.g., adrb2_human) or PDB IDs — always use GPCRdb_list_proteins to find the correct entry name and GPCRdb_get_structures to confirm available structures.

Research skill integrating GPCRdb (GPCR receptor biology), SAbDab (antibody structures), and PDBePISA (protein interface analysis) to support structural pharmacology, antibody engineering, and GPCR-targeted drug discovery.

KEY PRINCIPLES:

  1. Receptor-first — Identify GPCR entry name before any GPCRdb queries
  2. Ligand classification — Distinguish agonists, antagonists, partial agonists, biased agonists
  3. Structure-guided — Pair GPCRdb mutation data with PDB structures via PDBePISA
  4. Antibody context — Use SAbDab for therapeutic antibody structure retrieval and CDR analysis
  5. English-first queries — Use standard receptor names (e.g., "beta-2 adrenergic receptor") in searches; convert to GPCRdb entry names for API calls

When to Use

Apply when user asks:

  • "What ligands are known for [GPCR receptor]?"
  • "What crystal structures exist for [receptor]?"
  • "Find antibody structures targeting [antigen]"
  • "Analyze the protein-protein interface in PDB [ID]"
  • "What mutations affect [GPCR] function or pharmacology?"
  • "Which GPCRs are in the [family] family?"
  • "What are the CDR loops in antibody PDB [ID]?"
  • "What is the biological assembly for [PDB ID]?"

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
