Abstract Since its establishment in 2013, BioLiP has become one of the widely used resources for protein–ligand interactions. Nevertheless, several known issues occurred with it over the past decade. For example, the protein–ligand interactions are represented in the form of single-chain-based tertiary structures, which may be inappropriate as many interactions involve multiple protein chains (known as quaternary structures). We sought to address these issues, resulting in Q-BioLiP, a comprehensive resource for quaternary structure-based protein–ligand interactions. The major features of Q-BioLiP include: (1) representing protein structures in the form of quaternary structures rather than single-chain-based tertiary structures; (2) pairing DNA/RNA chains properly rather than separation; (3) providing both experimental and predicted binding affinities; (4) retaining both biologically relevant and irrelevant interactions to alleviate the problem of the wrong justification of ligands’ biological relevance; and (5) developing a new quaternary structure-based algorithm for the modelling of protein–ligand complex structure. With these new features, Q-BioLiP is expected to be a valuable resource for studying biomolecule interactions, including protein–small molecule interaction, protein–metal ion interaction, protein–peptide interaction, protein–protein interaction, protein–DNA/RNA interaction, and RNA–small molecule interaction.

期刊介绍:
Genomics, Proteomics and Bioinformatics (GPB) is the official journal of the Beijing Institute of Genomics, Chinese Academy of Sciences / China National Center for Bioinformation and Genetics Society of China. It aims to disseminate new developments in the field of omics and bioinformatics, publish high-quality discoveries quickly, and promote open access and online publication. GPB welcomes submissions in all areas of life science, biology, and biomedicine, with a focus on large data acquisition, analysis, and curation. Manuscripts covering omics and related bioinformatics topics are particularly encouraged. GPB is indexed/abstracted by PubMed/MEDLINE, PubMed Central, Scopus, BIOSIS Previews, Chemical Abstracts, CSCD, among others.
