Ligand evidence

Ligands grouped by evidence source. PDB ligands keep the source crystal visible, and loaded crystals can be opened directly in the structure viewer.

55 records

Highest-confidence structural evidence: ligands co-crystallized with this exact protein. If the source PDB is loaded in TPW, use Open crystal to inspect it in the structure viewer.

No PDB structure with a co-crystallized ligand found for this exact protein.

Structural evidence inferred from similar proteins. The source crystal indicates where the ligand was observed; the UniProt column identifies the homologous protein carrying that ligand.
