Databases and Knowledgebases
BindingDB
Database of measured binding affinities, focusing chiefly on the interactions of protein considered to be drug-targets with small, drug-like molecules.
BindingMOAD
Binding MOAD is a subset of the Protein Data Bank (PDB), containing every high-quality example of ligand-protein binding. The BindingMOAD.org website was closed down on July 1st

Coronavirus Structural Task Force
The Coronavirus Structural Task Force examines the structures from SARS and SARS-CoV-2 which are released to evaluate the quality and improve the structures where possible.
CoSSMos
RNA Characterization of Secondary Structure Motifs (RNA CoSSMos) database. This tool allows the systematic searching of all catalogued three-dimensional nucleic acid PDB structures that contain secondary structure motifs such as mismatches, (a)symmetric internal loops, hairpin loops, and bulge loops.
