Benchmark
This dataset was primarily created to accompany the plinder-org/runs-n-poses
benchmark.
Format
Column | Data Type | Description |
---|
ligand_ccd_code | str | The ID of the ligand in the Chemical Component Dictionary |
ligand_pose | Mol | The 3D structure of the ligand |
ligand_smiles | str | The 2D graph structure of the ligand |
plinder_id | str | The ID of the system in the Plinder dataset |
plinder_metadata | dict | Additional metadata of the system from the Plinder dataset |
receptor | AtomArray | The 3D protein structure of the receptor, without the ligand |
sequences | dict | The canonical sequence (SEQRES) of all the receptor's chains |
similarity_to_train | float | The similarity to the closest system released published before the training cutoff, using sucos_shape_pocket_qcov |
system_sequences_and_smiles | dict | The description of the complete system, including the canonical sequence of the receptor's chains and the 2D graph structure of all bound ligands |
system_structures_and_poses | AtomArray | The complete 3D structure of the bound system, including both receptor and ligand |
