SMPLIP-Score: predicting ligand binding affinity from simple and interpretable on-the-fly interaction fingerprint pattern descriptors.

ABSTRACT: In drug discovery, rapid and accurate prediction of protein-ligand binding affinities is a pivotal task for lead optimization with acceptable on-target potency as well as pharmacological efficacy. Furthermore, researchers hope for a high correlation between docking score and pose with key interactive residues, although scoring functions as free energy surrogates of protein-ligand complexes have failed to provide collinearity. Recently, various machine learning or deep learning methods have been proposed to overcome the drawbacks of scoring functions. Despite being highly accurate, their featurization process is complex and the meaning of the embedded features cannot directly be interpreted by human recognition without an additional feature analysis. Here, we propose SMPLIP-Score (Substructural Molecular and Protein-Ligand Interaction Pattern Score), a direct interpretable predictor of absolute binding affinity. Our simple featurization embeds the interaction fingerprint pattern on the ligand-binding site environment and molecular fragments of ligands into an input vectorized matrix for learning layers (random forest or deep neural network). Despite their less complex features than other state-of-the-art models, SMPLIP-Score achieved comparable performance, a Pearson's correlation coefficient up to 0.80, and a root mean square error up to 1.18 in pK units with several benchmark datasets (PDBbind v.2015, Astex Diverse Set, CSAR NRC HiQ, FEP, PDBbind NMR, and CASF-2016). For this model, generality, predictive power, ranking power, and robustness were examined using direct interpretation of feature matrices for specific targets.

Role of simple descriptors and applicability domain in predicting change in protein thermostability.

Project description:The melting temperature (Tm) of a protein is the temperature at which half of the protein population is in a folded state. Therefore, Tm is a measure of the thermostability of a protein. Increasing the Tm of a protein is a critical goal in biotechnology and biomedicine. However, predicting the change in melting temperature (dTm) due to mutations at a single residue is difficult because it depends on an intricate balance of forces. Existing methods for predicting dTm have had similar levels of success using generally complex models. We find that training a machine learning model with a simple set of easy to calculate physicochemical descriptors describing the local environment of the mutation performed as well as more complicated machine learning models and is 2-6 orders of magnitude faster. Importantly, unlike in most previous publications, we perform a blind prospective test on our simple model by designing 96 variants of a protein not in the training set. Results from retrospective and prospective predictions reveal the limited applicability domain of each model. This study highlights the current deficiencies in the available dTm dataset and is a call to the community to systematically design a larger and more diverse experimental dataset of mutants to prospectively predict dTm with greater certainty.

Prediction of protein-ligand binding affinity from sequencing data with interpretable machine learning.

Project description:Protein-ligand interactions are increasingly profiled at high throughput using affinity selection and massively parallel sequencing. However, these assays do not provide the biophysical parameters that most rigorously quantify molecular interactions. Here we describe a flexible machine learning method, called ProBound, that accurately defines sequence recognition in terms of equilibrium binding constants or kinetic rates. This is achieved using a multi-layered maximum-likelihood framework that models both the molecular interactions and the data generation process. We show that ProBound quantifies transcription factor (TF) behavior with models that predict binding affinity over a range exceeding that of previous resources; captures the impact of DNA modifications and conformational flexibility of multi-TF complexes; and infers specificity directly from in vivo data such as ChIP-seq without peak calling. When coupled with an assay called KD-seq, it determines the absolute affinity of protein-ligand interactions. We also apply ProBound to profile the kinetics of kinase-substrate interactions. ProBound opens new avenues for decoding biological networks and rationally engineering protein-ligand interactions.

Development of a protein-ligand extended connectivity (PLEC) fingerprint and its application for binding affinity predictions.

Project description:MotivationFingerprints (FPs) are the most common small molecule representation in cheminformatics. There are a wide variety of FPs, and the Extended Connectivity Fingerprint (ECFP) is one of the best-suited for general applications. Despite the overall FP abundance, only a few FPs represent the 3D structure of the molecule, and hardly any encode protein-ligand interactions.ResultsHere, we present a Protein-Ligand Extended Connectivity (PLEC) FP that implicitly encodes protein-ligand interactions by pairing the ECFP environments from the ligand and the protein. PLEC FPs were used to construct different machine learning models tailored for predicting protein-ligand affinities (pKi∕d). Even the simplest linear model built on the PLEC FP achieved Rp = 0.817 on the Protein Databank (PDB) bind v2016 'core set', demonstrating its descriptive power.Availability and implementationThe PLEC FP has been implemented in the Open Drug Discovery Toolkit (https://github.com/oddt/oddt).Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

The PANDEMYC Score. An Easily Applicable and Interpretable Model for Predicting Mortality Associated With COVID-19.

Project description:This study aimed to build an easily applicable prognostic model based on routine clinical, radiological, and laboratory data available at admission, to predict mortality in coronavirus 19 disease (COVID-19) hospitalized patients. METHODS:We retrospectively collected clinical information from 1968 patients admitted to a hospital. We built a predictive score based on a logistic regression model in which explicative variables were discretized using classification trees that facilitated the identification of the optimal sections in order to predict inpatient mortality in patients admitted with COVID-19. These sections were translated into a score indicating the probability of a patient's death, thus making the results easy to interpret. RESULTS:Median age was 67 years, 1104 patients (56.4%) were male, and 325 (16.5%) died during hospitalization. Our final model identified nine key features: age, oxygen saturation, smoking, serum creatinine, lymphocytes, hemoglobin, platelets, C-reactive protein, and sodium at admission. The discrimination of the model was excellent in the training, validation, and test samples (AUC: 0.865, 0.808, and 0.883, respectively). We constructed a prognostic scale to determine the probability of death associated with each score. CONCLUSIONS:We designed an easily applicable predictive model for early identification of patients at high risk of death due to COVID-19 during hospitalization.

Predicting absolute ligand binding free energies to a simple model site.

Project description:A central challenge in structure-based ligand design is the accurate prediction of binding free energies. Here we apply alchemical free energy calculations in explicit solvent to predict ligand binding in a model cavity in T4 lysozyme. Even in this simple site, there are challenges. We made systematic improvements, beginning with single poses from docking, then including multiple poses, additional protein conformational changes, and using an improved charge model. Computed absolute binding free energies had an RMS error of 1.9 kcal/mol relative to previously determined experimental values. In blind prospective tests, the methods correctly discriminated between several true ligands and decoys in a set of putative binders identified by docking. In these prospective tests, the RMS error in predicted binding free energies relative to those subsequently determined experimentally was only 0.6 kcal/mol. X-ray crystal structures of the new ligands bound in the cavity corresponded closely to predictions from the free energy calculations, but sometimes differed from those predicted by docking. Finally, we examined the impact of holding the protein rigid, as in docking, with a view to learning how approximations made in docking affect accuracy and how they may be improved.

Proximity Graph Networks: Predicting Ligand Affinity with Message Passing Neural Networks.

Project description:Message passing neural networks (MPNNs) on molecular graphs generate continuous and differentiable encodings of small molecules with state-of-the-art performance on protein-ligand complex scoring tasks. Here, we describe the proximity graph network (PGN) package, an open-source toolkit that constructs ligand-receptor graphs based on atom proximity and allows users to rapidly apply and evaluate MPNN architectures for a broad range of tasks. We demonstrate the utility of PGN by introducing benchmarks for affinity and docking score prediction tasks. Graph networks generalize better than fingerprint-based models and perform strongly for the docking score prediction task. Overall, MPNNs with proximity graph data structures augment the prediction of ligand-receptor complex properties when ligand-receptor data are available.

A Cascade Graph Convolutional Network for Predicting Protein-Ligand Binding Affinity.

Project description:Accurate prediction of binding affinity between protein and ligand is a very important step in the field of drug discovery. Although there are many methods based on different assumptions and rules do exist, prediction performance of protein-ligand binding affinity is not satisfactory so far. This paper proposes a new cascade graph-based convolutional neural network architecture by dealing with non-Euclidean irregular data. We represent the molecule as a graph, and use a simple linear transformation to deal with the sparsity problem of the one-hot encoding of original data. The first stage adopts ARMA graph convolutional neural network to learn the characteristics of atomic space in the protein-ligand complex. In the second stage, one variant of the MPNN graph convolutional neural network is introduced with chemical bond information and interactive atomic features. Finally, the architecture passes through the global add pool and the fully connected layer, and outputs a constant value as the predicted binding affinity. Experiments on the PDBbind v2016 data set showed that our method is better than most of the current methods. Our method is also comparable to the state-of-the-art method on the data set, and is more intuitive and simple.

The HAT Score: a simple grading scale for predicting hemorrhage after thrombolysis.

Project description:ObjectiveTo develop a grading scale to predict the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and prognosis after treatment with IV tissue-plasminogen activator (t-PA) in patients with ischemic stroke.MethodsWe constructed a five-point scale based on NIH Stroke Scale score, extent of hypodensity on CT scan, serum glucose at baseline, and history of diabetes to predict the risk of hemorrhage after thrombolysis (HAT score). We evaluated the predictive ability of this scale, using c-statistics, in two independent cohorts: the t-PA treated group in the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke study, and consecutive patients treated with IV t-PA at our institution.ResultsThe percentage of patients who developed any ICH after t-PA increased with higher scores in both cohorts. Collectively, the rate of any symptomatic ICH was 2% (0 point), 5% (1 point), 10% (2 points), 15% (3 points), and 44% (>3 points). The c-statistic was 0.72 (95% CI 0.65-0.79; p < 0.001) for all hemorrhages; 0.74 (0.63-0.84; p < 0.001) for symptomatic hemorrhages; and 0.79 (0.70-0.88; p < 0.001) for hemorrhages with final fatal outcome. Similar results were obtained when each cohort was analyzed separately. The score also reasonably predicted good (mRS < or = 2) (c-statistic 0.75; 0.69-0.80; p < 0.001) and catastrophic (mRS > or = 5) (0.78; 0.72-0.84; p < 0.001) functional outcomes on day 90 in the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke t-PA-treated patients.ConclusionsThe hemorrhage after thrombolysis (HAT) score is a practical, quick, and easy-to-perform scale that allows reasonable risk stratification of intracerebral hemorrhage after IV tissue-plasminogen activator (t-PA). However, the prognostic value of this scale and its use to predict the net benefit from t-PA needs to be refined and prospectively confirmed in a larger cohort of patients before it can be used in clinical decision-making.

Predicting adverse drug reactions through interpretable deep learning framework.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are unintended and harmful reactions caused by normal uses of drugs. Predicting and preventing ADRs in the early stage of the drug development pipeline can help to enhance drug safety and reduce financial costs. METHODS:In this paper, we developed machine learning models including a deep learning framework which can simultaneously predict ADRs and identify the molecular substructures associated with those ADRs without defining the substructures a-priori. RESULTS:We evaluated the performance of our model with ten different state-of-the-art fingerprint models and found that neural fingerprints from the deep learning model outperformed all other methods in predicting ADRs. Via feature analysis on drug structures, we identified important molecular substructures that are associated with specific ADRs and assessed their associations via statistical analysis. CONCLUSIONS:The deep learning model with feature analysis, substructure identification, and statistical assessment provides a promising solution for identifying risky components within molecular structures and can potentially help to improve drug safety evaluation.

Development of quantitative structure-binding affinity relationship models based on novel geometrical chemical descriptors of the protein-ligand interfaces.

Project description:Novel geometrical chemical descriptors have been derived on the basis of the computational geometry of protein-ligand interfaces and Pauling atomic electronegativities (EN). Delaunay tessellation has been applied to a diverse set of 517 X-ray characterized protein-ligand complexes yielding a unique collection of interfacial nearest neighbor atomic quadruplets for each complex. Each quadruplet composition was characterized by a single descriptor calculated as the sum of the EN values for the four participating atom types. We termed these simple descriptors generated from atomic EN values and derived with the Delaunay Tessellation the ENTess descriptors and used them in the variable selection k-nearest neighbor quantitative structure-binding affinity relationship (QSBR) studies of 264 diverse protein-ligand complexes with known binding constants. Twenty-four complexes with chemically dissimilar ligands were set aside as an independent validation set, and the remaining dataset of 240 complexes was divided into multiple training and test sets. The best models were characterized by the leave-one-out cross-validated correlation coefficient q(2) as high as 0.66 for the training set and the correlation coefficient R(2) as high as 0.83 for the test set. The high predictive power of these models was confirmed independently by applying them to the validation set of 24 complexes yielding R(2) as high as 0.85. We conclude that QSBR models built with the ENTess descriptors can be instrumental for predicting the binding affinity of receptor-ligand complexes.
