About Us

The physicochemical properties and binding modes of protein-ligand complexes are crucial for studying protein functions, predicting protein binding pockets, screening small molecule ligands, and designing drugs. To this end, we have created CpuPDB

CpuPDB is a comprehensive 3D database of protein-ligand binding sites and cavities. CpuPDB aims to provide detailed information on protein-ligand binding cavities, binding sites, and interaction forces by processing data from the Protein Data Bank (PDB)

CpuPDB includes By clicking on the numerical link, a comprehensive scan of the corresponding data within the CpuPDB can be performed.

  • 37,864 PDB files and 17,193 biologically relevant ligands
  • 67978 Pockets and sites of action based on known ligand assays
  • 2352 DynamicPockets
  • 122888 PDB entries with lvpocket predicted pockets of high precision
  • eight distinct interaction types including hydrogen bonds and salt bridges at each binding site
  • detailed annotations of the physicochemical properties of proteins and their ligands
  • An informative EXPLORE page for investigating protein families
  • Protein dynamics data is used to discover cryptic protein pockets and key binding sites

CpuPDB can significantly advance the fields of structural biology and drug discovery

Services

The homepage search area has been reorganized into a dedicated portal for query submission, result grouping, and post-search refinement. The new page provides a more structured search workflow for navigating CpuPDB content.

Dedicated Search Portal

Conduct structured queries in a dedicated retrieval interface.

Structure identifiers, ligand descriptors, protein sequences, and molecular dynamics records can now be queried through a dedicated portal. Search controls and returned results are organized separately from the homepage for clearer navigation.

Open Search Portal Documentation
Structure Retrieval Search by PDB ID, ligand identifier, or SMILES descriptor.
Sequence-Based Search Locate homologous entries from submitted protein sequences.
Dynamics Records Review entries linked to molecular dynamics pocket analysis.
Portal Highlights

Integrated search workflows for CpuPDB

The dedicated portal consolidates query submission, result grouping, and metadata access within a single interface.

Preview the portal
Targeted Queries

Retrieve entries through structure identifiers, ligand descriptors, or molecular structure strings.

Refined Results

Apply dedicated filters for annotation type, ligand information, and linked database references.

Direct Navigation

Move from search results to detail, dynamics, and external reference pages with minimal context switching.

What can I do next?

Use these entry points when you are unsure where to start after opening CpuPDB.

Find a record Search by PDB ID, ligand ID, SMILES, protein sequence, or dynamics record, then open the detail page from the result.
Inspect a binding site On detail pages, filter cavities, open a pocket in the 3D viewer, compare descriptors, and export selected rows.
Explore similar targets Use Protein Similarity for family-level navigation and Pocket Similarity for nearest-pocket lookup and Top 5 downloads.
