 Dear researchers,
 This message is to announce a new function implemented on the PDBbind-CN server.
 The PDBbind database aims at providing a comprehensive collection of the
 experimentally measured binding affinity data for all types of biomolecular
 complexes deposited in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). The latest release of
 PDBbind (version 2008) is currently available on the PDBbind-CN server at http://www.pdbbind.org.cn/. This release consists of binding
 affinity data of a total of 4,300 protein-ligand, nucleic acid-ligand,
 protein-nucleic acid, and protein-protein complexes.
 On the PDBbind-CN server, substructure/similarity search of the chemical
 structures of small-molecule ligands used to be limited to the ones with known
 binding data. Now it has been expanded to all small-molecule ligands in PDB
 (>8700 non-redundant molecules), a much larger body of information to
 explore. You may use this new function on the "STRUCTURE" page by
 selecting the "All small-molecule ligands in PDB" or the
 "Non-redundant ligands in PDB" set for conducting search. Registration
 is needed to access this page, but it is totally free to all users.
 Thank you for your interests in our work! We also love to know your feedbacks.
