PocketVE is a protein-pocket-conditioned variance‑exploding diffusion framework that integrates stable 3D coordinate denoising, classifier‑free property guidance, and adaptive protein perturbation. It improves 3D validity from 58.6% to 80.6% and reduces strain energy from 457.4 to 127.9 on CrossDocked2020 while maintaining competitive docking and property scores. The study shows moderate guidance balances target objectives with geometric quality, and diagnostics confirm enhanced pocket compatibility.

arXiv:2606. 00555v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Structure-based drug design increasingly employs LLM agents to iteratively refine ligands against a target pocket, yet a viable ligand must satisfy two often-conflicting objectives -- binding affinity and druggability -- which single optimization steps rarely improve together.
