MATADOR
MATADOR (Manually Annotated Targets and Drugs Online Resource) is a manually curated database of drug-target relationships developed at EMBL. Unlike resources limited to direct binding, MATADOR captures both direct (binding) and indirect (e.g., metabolic or signaling) drug-target interactions for proteins and small molecules. It was distributed alongside SuperTarget and serves as an upstream source for downstream knowledge graphs such as PharmDB.
