An enabling resource for drug discovery and protein function prediction is a large, accurate and actively maintained collection of protein/small-molecule complex structures. Models of binding are typically constructed from these structural libraries by generalizing the observed interaction patterns. Consequently, the quality of the model is dependent on the quality of the structural library. An ideal library should be non-biased and comprehensive, contain high-resolution structures and be actively maintained.
