 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.
 Best regards,
