Herein, we present a database, KLSD, which is a curated resource of 787 213 small-molecule kinase inhibitors annotated with 1.8 M quantitative activity records across 428 human kinases, emphasizing selectivity and polypharmacology. Moreover, we introduce a dual-task ensemble that simultaneously regresses pAct and computes selectivity scores. The core is a multibranch residual multilayer perceptron (MLP) whose branches are kinase-specific; this is augmented by SVM, RF, XGBoost, CNN, GCN, GAT, RGCN and VAE-enhanced graph nets. Continuous potency labels replace categorical classes to improve resolution. Benchmarked on the JAK family (JAK1/2/3, TYK2), the ensemble achieves classification accuracies of ≥0.84 for each kinase and 0.98 overall, demonstrating strong generalizability. KLSD and models are freely available at http://ai.njucm.edu.cn:8080.

Ligand Binding Sites
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...
