Identity-gated curation

More than an affinity number.

OpenPLBind treats the evidence-supported correspondence between a crystallographic complex and an experimental assay as the annotation unit.

  • 01

    X-ray only; resolution ≤ 2.5 Å and R-factor < 0.25.

  • 02

    Noncovalent nonpolymer ligand; allowed elements only and molecular weight < 1000 Da.

  • 03

    Protein-buried ligand fraction ≥ 0.15.

  • 04

    Exact Kd or Ki between 1 pM and 10 mM.

  • 05

    No detected completeness, nonstandard-residue, steric-clash or multiple-site violation.

Quality checks use fail-evidence semantics: only a detected violation excludes a base candidate. Rule-level failure counts may overlap.

    Collect

    Start from post-2020 PDB entries, normalize citations and retrieve source documents.

  2. 02

    Frame

    Resolve protein construct, mutation, ligand instance and complex identity.

  3. 03

    Annotate

    Extract assay-aware measurements with page-level evidence.

  4. 04

    Validate

    Apply identity, chemistry, coordinate and release consistency checks.

Scope note

“PDBbind-style” describes the familiar per-entry file layout and task semantics, not the original PDBbind biological-unit preparation. OpenPLBind retains all non-focal polypeptide chains from the first deposited model; it does not apply assembly expansion, structure repair or protonation, and it removes water and other nonpolymers.
