Machine learning in drug discovery

Background:

Machine learning-based scoring functions (MLSFs) offer improved virtual screening over classical scoring functions (SFs).
High computational costs in feature generation limit descriptors and protein-ligand interaction characterization in MLSFs, impacting accuracy and efficiency.
Developing accurate and efficient scoring functions is crucial for practical virtual screening in drug discovery.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a novel theory-based interaction energy component score (TB-IECS) to enhance virtual screening.
To address limitations in descriptor usage and interaction characterization faced by current MLSFs.
To develop a scoring function that balances efficiency and accuracy for practical applications.

Main Methods:

Developed TB-IECS by combining energy terms from Smina and NNScore v2, utilizing the eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm.
Categorized energy terms from 15 traditional SFs based on formulas and physicochemical principles, generating 324 feature combinations.
Selected the five best feature combinations for evaluating model performance across various feature vector lengths, interaction types, and ML algorithms.

Main Results:

Assessed TB-IECS performance on DUD-E, LIT-PCBA, and seven ChemDiv target-specific datasets.
Demonstrated that TB-IECS outperformed classical SFs like Glide SP and Dock in virtual screening power.
Showcased TB-IECS's ability to effectively balance efficiency and accuracy for practical virtual screening.

Conclusions:

TB-IECS represents a significant advancement in scoring functions for virtual screening.
The proposed method overcomes limitations of existing MLSFs by optimizing feature selection and utilizing robust ML algorithms.
TB-IECS offers a promising tool for accelerating drug discovery through more accurate and efficient virtual screening.
