通过检索匹配分子,提升药物设计生成效果。

READ: A Retrieval-Alignment Diffusion Framework for Structure-based Drug Design

  • 基于同源蛋白靶点检索相似配体,引导生成过程。
  • 在标准对接评估中表现优于现有先进方法。
  • 适合早期药物候选分子生成,可指导实验验证。

基于结构的药物设计(SBDD)模型是现代制药研究的核心,可在原子层面理性探索蛋白质-配体相互作用。然而,现有方法通常将分子生成视为孤立优化或一对一匹配任务,忽视了蛋白质-配体复合物间的共享结合模式与内在相似性。这种碎片化视角限制了对分子识别与结合特异性基本规律的捕捉。此外,高质量实验数据的稀缺也制约了模型的泛化能力与实际应用。为此,我们提出READ,一种基于检索-对齐的分子生成框架,通过同源蛋白靶点的小分子检索结果,为生成过程提供条件引导。检索到的配体在多个表示空间中与扩散模型对齐,并作为条件指导贯穿生成全过程。在标准化对接评估协议下,READ在性能上持续优于当前先进方法。更重要的是,它引入了一种新的检索-对齐范式,为早期计算命中分子生成提供了实用框架,未来工作仍需开展前瞻性实验验证。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Structure-based drug design (SBDD) models are central to modern pharmaceutical research, enabling the rational exploration of protein-ligand interactions at atomic resolution. However, most existing approaches frame molecular generation as an isolated optimization or a one-to-one matching task, overlooking the shared binding patterns and intrinsic similarities among protein-ligand complexes. This fragmented perspective constrains their ability to capture the fundamental principles governing molecular recognition and binding specificity. Moreover, the limited availability of high-quality experimental data further hampers model generalization and real-world applicability. To address these challenges, we present READ, a retrieval-alignment molecular generation framework that conditions the generative process on small molecules targeting homologous proteins. Retrieved ligands are aligned with a diffusion model across multiple representational spaces and integrated as conditional guidance throughout successive stages of generation. Under a standardized docking-based evaluation protocol, READ achieves consistently strong performance against state-of-the-art SBDD methods. More importantly, it introduces a retrieval-alignment paradigm for structure-based molecular generation, offering a practical framework for early-stage computational hit generation while leaving prospective experimental validation as future work.
