alterlab-bindingdb
From the author
Query BindingDB for measured protein-ligand binding affinities (Ki, Kd, IC50, EC50) via its keyless REST API or the full TSV download, searching by target (UniProt ID), compound (SMILES), or pathogen. Use when looking up experimental binding constants, profiling inhibitors of a protein target, doing lead optimization, polypharmacology analysis, or structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies; for curated bioactivity mining or drug-like compound library screening at scale prefer alterlab-chembl instead. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

- alterlab-chemblAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsQuery ChEMBL via the chembl_webresource_client Python client for curated bioactive molecules and drug-like compound libraries at scale — search compounds by structure or physicochemical properties, retrieve bioactivity measurements (IC50, Ki, EC50), and find inhibitors of a target. Use when screening chemical libraries, mining curated bioactivity for a protein, running SAR studies, or sourcing medicinal-chemistry data; for measured protein-ligand binding affinities (Ki/Kd/IC50) prefer alterlab-bindingdb instead.

- alterlab-string-dbAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsQuery the STRING API for protein-protein interactions (59M proteins, 20B+ interactions across 12,500+ organisms), building interaction networks, discovering functional partners, and running GO/KEGG/Pfam enrichment on protein lists. Use when constructing a protein-protein interaction network, expanding from seed proteins to functional partners, or running PPI-based enrichment for systems biology; for curated metabolic pathway maps and reactions prefer alterlab-kegg, and for protein sequences, annotations, or accession ID mapping prefer alterlab-uniprot instead. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.Science★ 84
- alterlab-pdbAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsAccess the RCSB Protein Data Bank (PDB) for EXPERIMENTALLY determined 3D structures (X-ray, cryo-EM, NMR) of proteins and nucleic acids — searching by text, sequence, or structure similarity and downloading coordinates in PDB/mmCIF format with metadata. Use when retrieving a structure by PDB ID, running sequence or structure similarity searches, or obtaining experimental coordinates for structural biology and drug discovery; for AI-PREDICTED structures of proteins lacking experimental data prefer alterlab-alphafold-db, and for protein sequences, annotations, or accession ID mapping prefer alterlab-uniprot instead.
