Sunsetting Binding MOAD with its last data update and the addition of 3D-ligand polypharmacology tools.

Binding MOAD is a database of protein-ligand complexes and their affinities with many structured relationships across the dataset. The project has been in development for over 20 years, but now, the time has come to bring it to a close. Currently, the database contains 41,409 structures with affinity coverage for 15,223 (37%) complexes. The website BindingMOAD.org provides numerous tools for polypharmacology exploration. Current relationships include links for structures with sequence similarity, 2D ligand similarity, and binding-site similarity. In this last update, we have added 3D ligand similarity using ROCS to identify ligands which may not necessarily be similar in two dimensions but can occupy the same three-dimensional space. For the 20,387 different ligands present in the database, a total of 1,320,511 3D-shape matches between the ligands were added. Examples of the utility of 3D-shape matching in polypharmacology are presented. Finally, plans for future access to the project data are outlined.
