Access additional resources of interest, submitted by community members.
| Aquaria-COVID Resource | Structural Coverage Map |
| BindingDB | Database of measured binding affinities, focusing chiefly on the interactions of protein considered to be drug-targets with small, drug-like molecules. |
| BindingMOAD | Binding MOAD is a subset of the Protein Data Bank (PDB), containing every high-quality example of ligand-protein binding. The BindingMOAD.org website was closed down on July 1st |
| BMCD | Biological Macromolecule Crystallization Database |
| BRENDA | The Comprehensive Enzyme Information System |
| CAZy | Carbohydrate-Active enZYmes |
| CCDC | Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (small molecules) |
| Coronavirus Structural Task Force | The Coronavirus Structural Task Force examines the structures from SARS and SARS-CoV-2 which are released to evaluate the quality and improve the structures where possible. |
| CoSSMos | RNA Characterization of Secondary Structure Motifs (RNA CoSSMos) database. This tool allows the systematic searching of all catalogued three-dimensional nucleic acid PDB structures that contain secondary structure motifs such as mismatches, (a)symmetric internal loops, hairpin loops, and bulge loops. |
