Abstract

BACKGROUND: Compound-protein interaction site and binding affinity predictions are crucial for drug discovery and drug design. In recent years, many deep learning-based methods have been proposed for predications related to compound-protein interaction. For protein inputs, how to make use of protein primary sequence and tertiary structure information has impact on prediction results.
