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.

The paper introduces ReGeoDTA, a framework that preserves chemical heterogeneity and continuous geometric relationships in drug and protein representations to improve drug–target affinity prediction. Experiments on three benchmark datasets show that maintaining representation fidelity consistently enhances predictive accuracy across various DTA architectures, while degrading representations harms performance and cannot be recovered by more complex downstream models. The study highlights representation fidelity as a key upstream design principle for accurate and generalizable affinity prediction.
