5. Small-molecule Design and Prediction Tools

BioMoDes: A Repository of Tools for Biomolecular Modeling and Design

This page of BioMoDes lists state-of-the-art and emerging tools for Small-molecule Design and Prediction.


5.1. Ligand Design

2024 (Click to collapse/expand)
  • GCDM: A diffusion model for 3D molecule generation and optimization.
    Published: July 03, 2024
    Paper | Preprint | Code (GitHub)

  • MolSnapper: A diffusion model for molecule generation that integrates expert knowledge based on 3D pharmacophores (reference points). MolSnapper is built on the MolDiff model.

    Paper | Code (GitHub)

  • PMDM: A diffusion model for generating 3D ligands given a target protein pocket.
    Published: March 26, 2024
    Paper | Code (GitHub)

  • SyntheMol: A generative AI model for designing novel synthesizable compounds with antibacterial activity.
    Published: March 22, 2024
    Paper | Code (GitHub)

  • CLigOpt: A fragment-based drug design model to generate ligands with desired properties from a given fragment pair.
    Posted: March 17, 2024
    Preprint

  • PocketFlow: A structure-based model for generating novel ligands given a protein binding pocket. PocketFlow shows SOTA performance and generates 100 % chemically valid, drug-like compounds, ligand binding pose close to that predicted by molecular docking, and active hits against HAT1 & YTHDC1 validated with wet experiments

5.2. Ligand and Linker Design

2024
  • DiffLinker: An equivariant diffusion model for linker design between molecular fragments to obtain chemically relevant compounds. Given a set of arbitrary number of disconnected fragments, DiffLinker places suitable atoms in-between to generate molecules incorporating all the initial fragments.

5.3. Ligand Property Prediction

2024
  • ProSmith: A multimodal network and webserver for predicting drug-target interaction/affinity, small-molecule enzyme substrate, and enzyme Km for target substrate.
    Posted: Oct 12, 2023
    Preprint | Code (GitHub) | Webserver

5.4. Ligand Conformer Generation

2024
  • PIDM: A physics-informed diffusion-based model for small-molecule conformer generation.
    Published: March 14, 2024
    Paper | Code (GitHub)
