Dear researchers,

Here we announce a new release of the PDBbind database, i.e. version 
2015. The PDBbind database aims at providing a comprehensive collection 
of experimentally measured binding affinity data for all biomolecular 
complexes deposited in the Protein Data Bank. The PDBbind database was 
released to the public for the first time in May 2004. It is now updated 
annually to keep up with the growth of the Protein Data Bank. Release of 
version 2015 is significantly delayed due to a number of reasons, but we 
still manage to complete this task in the year of 2015. 

This release, i.e. version 2015, provides binding affinity data for a 
total of 14,260 biomolecular complexes in PDB, including protein-ligand 
(11,987), nucleic acid-ligand (109), protein-nucleic acid (717), and 
protein-protein complexes (1,807). Binding affinity data included in 
this release have increased by 10% as compared to the last one. All 
binding data are curated from original references rather than cited from 
other data sources. Besides binding affinity data, we also provide 
processed structural files for the protein-ligand complexes included in 
PDBbind, which can be readily utilized by many current molecular 
modeling software.

The PDBbind version 2015 is available on the PDBbind-CN web server at 
http://www.pdbbind-cn.org/. The basic information of each complex, 
including binding data, is open to access. Registration is necessary 
only if the user wants to use the advanced services on this web site or 
to download data package. Registration is free of charge for all 
academic and commercial/industrial users. More than 2,800 users from 
over 60 countries have already registered to use this database.

Your comments are always welcome by us to improve this database further.
