EquiPocket: an E(3)-Equivariant Geometric Graph Neural Network for Ligand Binding Site Prediction

EquiPocket is an E(3)-equivariant Graph Neural Network designed to predict ligand binding sites on proteins. It processes proteins as geometric graphs, extracting local surface atom geometry, modeling chemical and spatial relationships, and performing equivariant message passing to capture surface geometry. A dense attention output layer mitigates issues caused by variable protein sizes, and experiments show the method outperforms current state‑of‑the‑art approaches.

Beyond SBDD: Geometric Deep Learning in Polypharmacology and Multi-target Drug Design

arXiv:2607. 20550v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The traditional "one drug, one target" paradigm of structure-based drug design (SBDD) frequently proves inadequate for treating multifactorial diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, owing to compensatory signaling pathways and the emergence of drug resistance.

Protein Representation Learning with Secondary-Structure and Energy-Filtered Hydrogen-Bond Graphs

arXiv:2606. 19374v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Graph-based representations are widely used in protein modeling, yet many existing approaches rely primarily on sequence adjacency or geometric proximity, which only partially reflect the principles governing protein folding.

Geometry-Informed Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning of Pre-trained Molecular GNNs for Blood-Brain Barrier Permeability Prediction

arXiv:2608. 04257v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Blood-brain barrier permeability (BBBP) prediction is a critical screening task in central nervous system drug discovery, where candidate molecules must be assessed for whether they can cross, or should be prevented from crossing, the blood-brain barrier.
