• Abstract: Developing and discovering new drugs is a complex and resource-intensive endeavor that often involves substantial costs, time investment, and safety concerns. A key aspect of drug discovery involves identifying novel drug-target (DT) interactions. Existing computational methods for predicting DT interactions have primarily focused on binary classification tasks, aiming to determine whether a DT pair interacts or not. However, protein-ligand interactions exhibit a continuum of binding strengths, known as binding affinity, presenting a persistent challenge for accurate prediction. In this study, we investigate various techniques employed in Drug Target Interaction (DTI) prediction and propose novel enhancements to enhance their performance. Our approaches include the integration of Protein Language Models (PLMs) and the incorporation of Contact Map information as an inductive bias within current models. Through extensive experimentation, we demonstrate that our proposed approaches outperform the baseline models considered in this study, presenting a compelling case for further development in this direction. We anticipate that the insights gained from this work will significantly narrow the search space for potential drugs targeting specific proteins, thereby accelerating drug discovery.

  This paper introduces a novel model, called FusionDTI, which uses a token-level Fusion module to learn fine-grained information for Drug-Target Interaction. In particular, our FusionDTI model uses the SELFIES representation of drugs to mitigate sequence fragment invalidation. Our experiments show that our proposed FusionDTI model achieves the best performance in DTI prediction compared with seven existing state-of-the-art baselines.

  Drug-Target Affinity (DTA) is of vital importance in early-stage drug discovery. wet experiments remain the most reliable method, but they are time-consuming and resource-intensive.

We present the SSM-DTA framework, which incorporates three simple yet highly effective strategies.
