Background
- Large language models (LLMs) show promise for biomedical relation extraction.
- Current demonstration methods in LLMs require optimization for complex biomedical tasks.
- Adaptive tuning strategies are needed to enhance LLM performance in specialized domains.
Purpose Of The Study
- To investigate adaptive tuning methods for large language models (LLMs) in biomedical relation extraction.
- To introduce and evaluate the LLM instruction-example adaptive prompting (LEAP) framework.
- To assess the impact of adaptive task descriptions and examples on LLM performance.
Main Methods
- Analyzed demonstration components (task descriptions, examples) for LLMs in biomedical data tasks.
- Developed and implemented the LEAP framework with three adaptive tuning methods: instruction, example, and instruction-example adaptive tuning.
- Evaluated LEAP on DDI, ChemProt, and BioRED datasets using LLMs like Llama2 and MedLLaMA.
Main Results
- Instruction + Options + Example prompting significantly improved F1 scores compared to standard methods for zero-shot LLMs.
- The LEAP framework, particularly example adaptive prompting, outperformed conventional instruction tuning across all tested models.
- MedLLAMA_13B achieved a 95.13 F1 score on ChemProt, demonstrating robust performance on DDI and BioRED datasets.
Conclusions
- The LEAP framework provides an effective strategy for enhancing LLM training in biomedical relation extraction.
- This approach favors dynamic, contextually enriched prompting over extensive fine-tuning.
- LEAP offers a promising direction for improving LLM capabilities in sophisticated data extraction scenarios.

Enzyme-linked receptors are cell-surface receptors acting as an enzyme or associating with an enzyme intracellularly. They make excellent drug targets. Drugs can bind to the extracellular ligand-binding domain or directly affect their enzymatic domain and alter their activity.
Major types that are helpful drug targets include:
Receptor tyrosine kinases:
Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) phosphorylate specific tyrosines on the signaling proteins. RTKs include various growth factor receptors,...
Drug-receptor bonds are formed through various chemical forces when drugs interact with target cells. Covalent bonds, strong and irreversible, are exemplified by DNA-alkylating anticancer agents that inhibit cell division. However, such irreversible drug binding lacks selectivity and can modify the DNA of the surrounding healthy cells. Covalent binding often contributes to tissue toxicity, as seen with chloroform and paracetamol metabolites binding to the liver, causing hepatotoxicity.

Proteins are dynamic macromolecules that carry out a wide variety of essential processes; however, the activities of most proteins depend on their interactions with other molecules or ions, known as ligands.
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...
Pharmaceutical equivalents, by definition, are drug products with the same active ingredient in the same quantities, encapsulated in identical dosage forms, and intended for the same administration routes. These pharmaceutical equivalents are deemed bioequivalent if the bioavailability of the active entity in the drug preparations is similar. Moreover, pharmaceutical equivalents demonstrating bioequivalence are also regarded as therapeutically equivalent. This means that when used as directed,...
The receptor occupancy theory connects a drug's response to the number of occupied receptors. With higher drug concentrations, more receptors are occupied, leading to increased responses. The formation of drug-receptor complexes involves association and dissociation rates, which reach equilibrium when the forward and backward reactions are equal. The equilibrium association constant (Ka) and its inverse, the equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd), indicate drug affinity. Higher Ka and lower...
