T cell receptor specificity landscape revealed through de novo peptide design.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
T cells play a key role in adaptive immunity by mounting specific responses against diverse pathogens. Effective bindings between T cell receptors (TCRs) and pathogen derived peptides presented on major histocompatibility complexes (MHCs) mediate imm...

TEMPL: A Template-Based Protein-Ligand Pose Prediction Baseline.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Pose prediction of ligands to proteins remains a central challenge of structure-based drug design. Although data leakage and generalizability concerns remain, data-driven methods for pose prediction (i.e., based on deep learning and diffusion) now ro...

Investigating whether deep learning models for co-folding learn the physics of protein-ligand interactions.

Nature communications
Co-folding models represent a major innovation in deep-learning-based protein-ligand structure prediction. The recent publications of RoseTTAFold All-Atom, AlphaFold3, and others have shown high-quality results on predicting the structures of protein...

AI-driven protein pocket detection through integrating deep Q-networks for structural analysis.

Journal of computer-aided molecular design
Protein pockets, or small cavities on the protein surface, are critical sites for enzymatic catalysis, molecular recognition, and drug binding. Accurately identifying these pockets is crucial for understanding protein function and designing therapeut...

ML-PLA: Enhancing Protein-Ligand Binding Affinity Prediction with Microenvironment and Long-Range Interaction-Aware Graph Neural Networks.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Accurately predicting protein-ligand binding affinity (PLA) is essential in drug discovery for identifying lead compounds. The sequence and structural contexts of an amino acid residue (i.e., microenvironment) describe the surrounding chemical proper...

GENEOnet: a breakthrough in protein binding pocket detection using group equivariant non-expansive operators.

Scientific reports
Structure-based virtual screening approaches like molecular docking rely on accurately identifying and precisely calculating binding pockets to efficiently search for potential ligands. In this paper, we introduce GENEOnet, a machine learning model d...

Robust Prediction of Protein-Ligand Binding Potency with Multi-modal Customized Gate Control.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
The main protease (Mpro) is a critical target in the design of antiviral drugs against coronaviruses, while accurately predicting the binding affinity between small molecules and this target remains a key challenge. In the recent Polaris challenge of...

Structure based drug design and machine learning approaches for identifying natural inhibitors against the human αβIII tubulin isotype.

Scientific reports
Microtubules (MTs) play a crucial role in mitosis and are composed of α-/β-tubulin heterodimeric subunits. In eukaryotes, eight α-tubulin and ten β-tubulin isotypes have been reported, each displaying tissue-specific expression patterns. Among them, ...

PPAP: A Protein-protein Affinity Predictor Incorporating Interfacial Contact-Aware Attention.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) play fundamental roles in biological processes and therapeutic development. Accurately predicting PPI binding affinity is critical for understanding interaction mechanisms and guiding protein engineering. Recent ad...

Revisiting Protein-Protein Docking: A Systematic Evaluation Framework.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Protein-protein interactions play pivotal roles in a wide range of biological processes. Determining the atomic-level structures of protein-protein complexes is indispensable for elucidating macromolecular interaction mechanisms and advancing structu...
