Data of small peptides in SMILES and three-dimensional formats for virtual screening campaigns

摘要

The data presented in this article are structures of dipeptides, tripeptides and tetrapeptides constructed from all possible combinations of 20 natural and common amino acids. In total, the data contains 168400 peptides. The structures are available in their simplified molecular-input line-entry system (SMILES) and three-dimensional (3D) formats. The type of data are text files, which could be accessed and modified either by text editor applications (e.g. Notepad++) or by molecule visualization softwares (e.g., YASARA View). These structures could be used further in virtual screening campaigns in the early stage of drug discovery projects.
