OpenBind v1

OpenBind released the first open-source dataset and AI model specifically for structure-based drug discovery. The dataset contains 925 crystallographic binding events from 699 compounds targeting EV-A71 2A protease, with affinity measurements for 601 compounds — providing high-quality protein-ligand data that goes beyond pattern recognition for more reliable molecular predictions.
