The first public molecular recognition database, BindingDB supports research, education and practice in drug discovery, pharmacology and related fields.

BindingDB contains 2.7M data for 1.2M Compounds and 9.0K Targets. Of those, 1,225K data for 566K Compounds and 4.4K Targets were curated by BindingDB curators. BindingDB is a FAIRsharing resource.

If BindingDB was of value to you in 2022, please take a moment to donate to this nonprofit project. Your donation will let us provide you with more data and improved service.

BindingDB Data Curation

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 11, 2023, BindingDB's patent dataset comprises:

  1. Patents: 6,303
  2. Binding measurements: 972,552
  3. Compounds: 469,551
  4. Target proteins: 2,453
  5. Assays: 9,084
  6. Average Number of Targets per Patent: 1.91

BindingDB curates a set of journals not covered by other public databases. As of March 11, 2023, the status of this curation effort is as follows:

BindingDB is supported by NIH's National Institute of General Medical Sciences (GM070064), and is located at the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences of the University of California San Diego
