Please try our new beta-test BindingDB site!

Access coronavirus binding data on our covid page here.

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 October 30, 2025, BindingDB contains 50,458 Entries, each with a DOI, containing 3,156,460 binding data for 11,367 protein targets and 1,380,881 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.

  3. We are excited to share our new browser extension, BDBFind. Once installed in your browser, BDBFind automatically lets you know when BindingDB has the data from an article, PubMed Entry, or US Patent you are looking at online and provides direct links to view or download the data. Get BDBFind by searching for it in the Chrome webstore or in Firefox extensions or by following these links:

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 April 12, 2023, BindingDB's patent dataset comprises:

  1. Patents: 6,365
  2. Binding measurements: 991,721
  3. Compounds: 475,787
  4. Target proteins: 2,483
  5. Assays: 9,179
  6. Average Number of Targets per Patent: 1.91
