bindingdb-database SKILL.md skillA

bindingdb-database from fridrichmethod/awesome-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add fridrichmethod/awesome-skills/bindingdb-database@git:20260517.81511a7

Pins git:20260517.81511a7 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Query BindingDB for measured drug-target binding affinities (Ki, Kd, IC50, EC50). Search by target (UniProt ID), compound (SMILES/name), or pathogen. Essential for drug discovery, lead optimization, polypharmacology analysis, and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# BindingDB Database

## Overview

BindingDB (https://www.bindingdb.org/) is the primary public database of measured drug-protein binding affinities. It contains over 3 million binding data records for ~1.4 million compounds tested against ~9,200 protein targets, curated from scientific literature and patent literature. BindingDB stores quantitative binding measurements (Ki, Kd, IC50, EC50) essential for drug discovery, pharmacology, and computational chemistry research.

**Key resources:**
- BindingDB website: https://www.bindingdb.org/
- REST API: https://www.bindingdb.org/axis2/services/BDBService
- Downloads: https://www.bindingdb.org/bind/chemsearch/marvin/Download.jsp
- GitHub: https://github.com/drugilsberg/bindingdb

## When to Use This Skill

Use BindingDB when:

- **Target-based drug discovery**: What known compounds bind to a target protein? What are their affinities?
- **SAR analysis**: How do structural modifications affect binding affinity for a series of analogs?
- **Lead compound profiling**: What targets does a compound bind (selectivity/polypharmacology)?
- **Benchmark datasets**: Obtain curated protein-ligand affinity data for ML model training

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add fridrichmethod/awesome-skills/bindingdb-database@sha256:af78f5c9ce3486fa

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260517.81511a7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
