The core data of the BDB database are sets of biopanning data and related information such as sequences, structures, targets, templates and libraries. Peptides are grouped into a set of biopanning data if they are from the same independent experiment. In the current release, 30,383 peptides grouped into 3,338 sets are collected from 1,575 published papers. Among the 30,383 peptides in BDB, 27,645 peptides appear only in one set of biopanning data; however, there are 1,753 peptides appearing in two or more sets of biopanning data for 4,491 times in total.

Target:

There are 1998 different targets in the current version of BDB. Besides 185 target with undetermined sources and 164 targets with no sources (such as cellulose, polystyrene, microplate, etc.), most of the targets are from Homo sapiens (Human) and Mus musculus (Mouse). The source of some targets are a hybrid of two or more species.

Template:

For most of the peptides in the BDB database, their templates are not or even can not be determined. Thus, there are only 553 templates identified.

Library:

In the current version of the BDB database, there are 492 phage libraries or library pools.
