AO_SCPLOWBSTRACTC_SCPLOWPredicting protein-ligand binding affinity is crucial for drug discovery, as it enables efficient identification of drug candidates. We introduce PLAPT, a novel model utilizing transfer learning from pre-trained transformers like ProtBERT and ChemBERTa to predict binding affinities with high accuracy. Our method processes one-dimensional protein and ligand sequences, leveraging a branching neural network architecture for feature integration and affinity estimation. We demonstrate PLAPTs superior performance through validation on multiple datasets, achieving state-of-the-art results while requiring significantly less computational resources for training compared to existing models. Our findings indicate that PLAPT offers a highly effective and accessible approach for accelerating drug discovery efforts.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
