• Authors: William McCorkindale, Carl Poelking, Alpha A. Lee
• Abstract summary: Predicting bioactivity and physical properties of molecules is a longstanding challenge in drug design. Most approaches use molecular descriptors based on a 2D representation of molecules as a graph of atoms and bonds, abstracting away the molecular shape. We describe a novel alignment-free 3D QSAR method using Smooth Overlap of Atomic Positions (SOAP), a well-established formalism developed for interpolating potential energy surfaces.

• Abstract: Predicting bioactivity and physical properties of molecules is a longstanding challenge in drug design. Most approaches use molecular descriptors based on a 2D representation of molecules as a graph of atoms and bonds, abstracting away the molecular shape. A difficulty in accounting for 3D shape is in designing molecular descriptors can precisely capture molecular shape while remaining invariant to rotations/translations. We describe a novel alignment-free 3D QSAR method using Smooth Overlap of Atomic Positions (SOAP), a well-established formalism developed for interpolating potential energy surfaces. We show that this approach rigorously describes local 3D atomic environments to compare molecular shapes in a principled manner. This method performs competitively with traditional fingerprint-based approaches as well as state-of-the-art graph neural networks on pIC$_{50}$ ligand-binding prediction in both random and scaffold split scenarios. We illustrate the utility of SOAP descriptors by showing that its inclusion in ensembling diverse representations statistically improves performance, demonstrating that incorporating 3D atomic environments could lead to enhanced QSAR for cheminformatics.

  We propose D3FG, a functional-group-based diffusion model for pocket-specific molecule generation and elaboration. D3FG decomposes molecules into two categories of components: functional groups defined as rigid bodies and linkers as mass points. In the experiments, our method can generate molecules with more realistic 3D structures, competitive affinities toward the protein targets, and better drug properties.

  Previous works usually generate atoms in an auto-regressive way, where element types and 3D coordinates of atoms are generated one by one. In real-world molecular systems, the interactions among atoms in an entire molecule are global, leading to the energy function pair-coupled among atoms. In this work, a generative diffusion model for molecular 3D structures based on target proteins is established, at a full-atom level in a non-autoregressive way.
