Structure reference
A real protein–ligand complex.
This example uses a single experimentally determined structure, PDB 6LU7, with its co-crystallized inhibitor N3. It does not represent a docking result produced by Ligandly.
N3 · co-crystallized inhibitor
N3 is the ligand associated with this experimental complex. It is not caffeine and is not a ligand independently docked by Ligandly.
