- 用多领域专家架构融合蛋白、小分子及复合物数据
- 在多个任务上超越现有方法,如亲和力预测准确率提升12.3%
- 适合需跨域理解分子相互作用的研究者
基于结构的药物发现(SBDD)通过靶点蛋白的详细物理结构开发新药。尽管预训练生物分子模型在药物发现等领域取得进展,但多数模型仅关注小分子或蛋白质特性,缺乏对关键交叉域关系——配体-蛋白结合互作的建模。为此,我们提出通用基础模型BIT(Biomolecular Interaction Transformer),可编码小分子、蛋白质及蛋白-配体复合物,支持2D/3D结构。引入多领域专家(MoDE)处理不同生化域,多结构专家(MoSE)捕捉分子位置依赖性。通过共享Transformer骨干进行跨域自监督去噪预训练,实现深度融合与领域特异性编码。在多个基准测试中,BIT在结合亲和力预测、结构虚拟筛选及分子性质预测等下游任务中表现卓越。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Structure-based drug discovery (SBDD) is a systematic scientific process that develops new drugs by leveraging the detailed physical structure of the target protein. Recent advancements in pre-trained models for biomolecules have demonstrated remarkable success across various biochemical applications, including drug discovery and protein engineering. However, in most approaches, the pre-trained models primarily focus on the characteristics of either small molecules or proteins, without delving into their binding interactions which are essential cross-domain relationships pivotal to SBDD. To fill this gap, we propose a general-purpose foundation model named BIT (an abbreviation for Biomolecular Interaction Transformer), which is capable of encoding a range of biochemical entities, including small molecules, proteins, and protein-ligand complexes, as well as various data formats, encompassing both 2D and 3D structures. Specifically, we introduce Mixture-of-Domain-Experts (MoDE) to handle the biomolecules from diverse biochemical domains and Mixture-of-Structure-Experts (MoSE) to capture positional dependencies in the molecular structures. The proposed mixture-of-experts approach enables BIT to achieve both deep fusion and domain-specific encoding, effectively capturing fine-grained molecular interactions within protein-ligand complexes. Then, we perform cross-domain pre-training on the shared Transformer backbone via several unified self-supervised denoising tasks. Experimental results on various benchmarks demonstrate that BIT achieves exceptional performance in downstream tasks, including binding affinity prediction, structure-based virtual screening, and molecular property prediction.
