uniprot-database
Direct REST API access to UniProt. Protein searches, FASTA retrieval, ID mapping, Swiss-Prot/TrEMBL. For Python workflows with multiple databases, prefer bioservices (unified interface to 40+ services). Use this for direct HTTP/REST work or UniProt-specific control.

bindingdb-database
Query BindingDB for measured drug-target binding affinities (Ki, Kd, IC50, EC50). Search by target (UniProt ID), compound (SMILES/name), or pathogen. Essential for drug discovery, lead optimization, polypharmacology analysis, and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.

bioservices
Unified Python interface to 40+ bioinformatics services. Use when querying multiple databases (UniProt, KEGG, ChEMBL, Reactome) in a single workflow with consistent API. Best for cross-database analysis, ID mapping across services. For quick single-database lookups use gget; for sequence/file manipulation use biopython.
