Beyond Affinity: A Benchmark of 1D, 2D, and 3D Methods Reveals Critical Trade-offs in Structure-Based Drug Design

  • 用对接函数当黑盒评估1D/2D/3D三类模型生成分子性能
  • 3D模型亲和力强但分子合理性差,1D模型稳定但亲和力弱
  • 建议融合多类方法优势,适合药物研发与模型改进者参考

当前基于结构的药物设计(SBDD)主要依赖三类算法:搜索类、深度生成模型和强化学习。现有研究多局限于单一类别内部比较,跨类别对比极为稀缺。本文建立基准,评估15个模型在生成分子的药学性质、对接亲和力及结合构象方面的表现。研究发现:3D结构基方法在结合亲和力上表现优异,但在化学合理性和构象质量上不稳定;1D方法在标准分子指标上可靠,但很少达到最优亲和力;2D方法在化学合理性与结合评分间取得良好平衡。通过对多个蛋白靶点的分析,明确了各类模型的改进方向,为未来模型设计提供指导。所有代码已公开于https://github.com/zkysfls/2025-sbdd-benchmark。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Currently, the field of structure-based drug design is dominated by three main types of algorithms: search-based algorithms, deep generative models, and reinforcement learning. While existing works have typically focused on comparing models within a single algorithmic category, cross-algorithm comparisons remain scarce. In this paper, to fill the gap, we establish a benchmark to evaluate the performance of fifteen models across these different algorithmic foundations by assessing the pharmaceutical properties of the generated molecules and their docking affinities and poses with specified target proteins. We highlight the unique advantages of each algorithmic approach and offer recommendations for the design of future SBDD models. We emphasize that 1D/2D ligand-centric drug design methods can be used in SBDD by treating the docking function as a black-box oracle, which is typically neglected. Our evaluation reveals distinct patterns across model categories. 3D structure-based models excel in binding affinities but show inconsistencies in chemical validity and pose quality. 1D models demonstrate reliable performance in standard molecular metrics but rarely achieve optimal binding affinities. 2D models offer balanced performance, maintaining high chemical validity while achieving moderate binding scores. Through detailed analysis across multiple protein targets, we identify key improvement areas for each model category, providing insights for researchers to combine strengths of different approaches while addressing their limitations. All the code that are used for benchmarking is available in https://github.com/zkysfls/2025-sbdd-benchmark
