BindingDB is a public, web-accessible database of measured binding affinities, focusing chiefly on the interactions of protein considered to be drug-targets with small, drug-like molecules. As of March 12, 2021, BindingDB contains 41,328 Entries, each with a DOI, containing 2,240,573 binding data for 8,503 protein targets and 971,073 small molecules.

There are 2823 protein-ligand crystal structures with BindingDB affinity measurements for proteins with 100% sequence identity, and 8263 crystal structures allowing proteins to 85% sequence identity.

You can also use BindingDB data through the Registry of Open Data on AWS: https://registry.opendata.aws/binding-db.

Simple Search
Article Titles, Authors, Assays, Compound Names, Target Names

Use ? for single-letter wild-card or * for general wild-card.
For example, "adeny*" or "adeny?". Query cannot start with wild card.
Advanced Search Combine multiple search criteria, such as chemical structures, target names, and numerical affinities; restrict searches by data source, such as BindingDB, ChEMBL, PubChem, and Patents.

Patent Curation
by BindingDB

BindingDB curates US Patents. We have scanned patents back to 2013 for suitable data and are currently up to date as of mid-2020. However, we cannot be sure of capturing all relevant patents, so if you know of a useful one we have missed, please let us know and we will try to curate it. As of March 12, 2021, BindingDB's patent dataset comprises:

  1. Patents: 4,538
  2. Binding measurements: 671,533
  3. Compounds: 342,632
  4. Target proteins: 1,983
  5. Assays: 6,559
  6. Average Number of Targets per Patent: 1.91
