Abstract

The molecular generation models based on protein structures represent a cutting-edge research direction in artificial intelligence-assisted drug discovery. This article aims to comprehensively summarize the research methods and developments by analyzing a series of novel molecular generation models predicated on protein structures. Initially, we categorize the molecular generation models based on protein structures and highlight the architectural frameworks utilized in these models. Subsequently, we detail the design and implementation of protein structure-based molecular generation models by introducing different specific examples. Lastly, we outline the current opportunities and challenges encountered in this field, intending to offer guidance and a referential framework for developing and studying new models in related fields in the future.
