About PDID

The PDID database provides access to a comprehensive set of putative and native protein-drug interactions in the structural human proteome. The structural human proteome includes about 10,000 human and human-like (with high sequence similarity to human proteins) proteins with known 3-D structures. The database includes data for popular, FDA-approved drugs. The corresponding protein-drug interactions were generated with three predictors, and were collected from and linked with three related databases of known protein-drug interactions.

Tutorial that explains how to use PDID is available here.

Protein-drug interactions

The protein-drug interactions that are made available in the PDID include the known and putative (predicted) interactions.

The known interactions were collected from the DrugBank [1], BindingDB [2], and Protein Data Bank [3] resources. These interactions are annotated in PDID as known and are linked to the corresponding databases.

The putative interactions were predicted with three methods:
1. Customized version of the eFindSite method [4, 5] that predicts targets based on similarity of binding pockets using threading.
2. Customized version of the SMAP method [6] that predicts targets based on similarity of binding pockets and protein fold using profile-profile alignment.
3. The ILbind method [7] that predicts targets using consensus of 15 support vector machines and combines similarity based on threading and profile-profile alignment.

The proteins are mapped into the UniProt database [8] using UniProt identifiers to facilitate mapping between PDID, Protein Data Bank, DrugBank, and BindingDB.
