Abstract

ABSTRACT Drug discovery is an extensive and rigorous process that requires up to 2 billion dollars of investments and more than ten years of research and development to bring a molecule “from bench to a bedside”. While virtual screening can significantly enhance drug discovery workflow, it ultimately lags the current rate of expansion of chemical databases that already incorporate billions of purchasable compounds. This surge of available small molecules presents great opportunities for drug discovery but also demands for faster virtual screening methods and protocols. In order to address this challenge, we herein introduce Deep Docking ( D 2 ) - a novel deep learning-based approach which is suited for docking billions of molecular structures. The developed D 2 -platform utilizes quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) based deep models trained on docking scores of subsets of a large chemical library (Big Base) to approximate the docking outcome for yet unprocessed molecular entries and to remove unfavorable structures in an iterative manner. We applied D 2 to virtually screen 1.36 billion molecules form the ZINC15 library against 12 prominent target proteins, and demonstrated up to 100-fold chemical data reduction and 6,000-fold enrichment for top hits, without notable loss of well-docked entities. The developed D 2 protocol can readily be used in conjunction with any docking program and was made publicly available.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
