3DMolFormer: A Dual-channel Framework for Structure-based Drug Discovery
- 双通道Transformer并行处理离散符号与连续坐标,精准建模三维分子结构。
- 在Docking和3D药物设计任务上均超越现有方法,提升关键指标表现。
- 适合药物研发人员使用,尤其关注靶点结构与分子设计的团队。
基于结构的药物发现涵盖蛋白质-配体对接和口袋感知的三维药物设计两大核心任务,但现有方法难以同时处理二者以利用其内在关联。当前方法受限于三维信息建模能力及数据量不足。为此,我们提出3DMolFormer,一种统一的双通道Transformer框架,可同时应用于对接与三维药物设计任务,并在药物设计中引入对接功能以增强效果。通过将口袋-配体复合物表示为离散标记与连续数值的并行序列,设计对应双通道变压器模型,有效解决三维信息建模难题。此外,通过混合数据集大规模预训练,再分别采用监督学习与强化学习进行微调,缓解数据限制。实验表明,3DMolFormer在对接与3D药物设计任务上均优于先前方法,展现出在结构导向药物发现中的巨大潜力。代码已开源:https://github.com/HXYfighter/3DMolFormer。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Structure-based drug discovery, encompassing the tasks of protein-ligand docking and pocket-aware 3D drug design, represents a core challenge in drug discovery. However, no existing work can deal with both tasks to effectively leverage the duality between them, and current methods for each task are hindered by challenges in modeling 3D information and the limitations of available data. To address these issues, we propose 3DMolFormer, a unified dual-channel transformer-based framework applicable to both docking and 3D drug design tasks, which exploits their duality by utilizing docking functionalities within the drug design process. Specifically, we represent 3D pocket-ligand complexes using parallel sequences of discrete tokens and continuous numbers, and we design a corresponding dual-channel transformer model to handle this format, thereby overcoming the challenges of 3D information modeling. Additionally, we alleviate data limitations through large-scale pre-training on a mixed dataset, followed by supervised and reinforcement learning fine-tuning techniques respectively tailored for the two tasks. Experimental results demonstrate that 3DMolFormer outperforms previous approaches in both protein-ligand docking and pocket-aware 3D drug design, highlighting its promising application in structure-based drug discovery.
