Chemical biology with BindingDB


This page is designed to identify possible Target proteins of bioactive compounds. For example, if you know that 10 compounds are active in a cell-based assay, you can upload them here and find Targets that bind similar compounds. These then serve as hypotheses for mechanistic Targets of your compounds.

Upload your active compounds (see below for formats) and choose the type of search to be done. The default similarity of 0.85 is probably a good starting point; a substructure option is included for alternative applications. Up to the first 100 compounds will be used to query BindingDB, and results will be presented in a Target-oriented table.

Similarity: (≥ 0.85)
Substructure

Browse for and upload your compound file. Acceptable formats are detailed here. Examples include SDfiles and SMILES lists.
