To facilitate template-based protein-ligand docking and protein function annotation, all data from the BioLiP database are freely available. You can download them from the links provided below.
BioLiP raw data
Download structures for protein-ligand interactions.
Download ligand summary (see readme_ligand.txt for explanation).
Download redundant dataset
In January 2025, 24809 affinity data from PDBbind-CN are removed due to licensing issue.
Download non-redundant dataset
All sequences are converted from residues with experimentally determined coordinates in the structure; residues unobserved in the structure are excluded.
