XLPFE: A Simple and Effective Machine Learning Scoring Function for Protein-Ligand Scoring and Ranking.

ABSTRACT: Prediction of protein-ligand binding affinities is a central issue in structure-based computer-aided drug design. In recent years, much effort has been devoted to the prediction of the binding affinity in protein-ligand complexes using machine learning (ML). Due to the remarkable ability of ML methods in nonlinear fitting, ML-based scoring functions (SFs) can deliver much improved performance on a selected test set, such as the comparative assessment of scoring functions (CASF), when compared to the classical SFs. However, the performance of ML-based SFs heavily relies on the overall similarity of the training set and the test set. To improve the performance and transferability of an SF, we have tried to combine various features including energy terms from X-score and AutoDock Vina, the properties of ligands, and the statistical sequence-related information from either the binding site or the full protein. In conjunction with extreme trees (ET), an ML model, we have developed XLPFE, a new SF. Compared with other tested methods such as X-score, AutoDock Vina, ΔvinaXGB, PSH-ML, or CNN-score, XLPFE achieves consistently better scoring and ranking power for various types of protein-ligand complex structures beyond the CASF, suggesting that XLPFE has superior transferability. In particular, XLPFE performs better with metalloenzymes. With its faster speed, improved accuracy, and better transferability, XLPFE could be usefully applied to a diverse range of protein-ligand complexes.

Delta Machine Learning to Improve Scoring-Ranking-Screening Performances of Protein-Ligand Scoring Functions.

Project description:Protein-ligand scoring functions are widely used in structure-based drug design for fast evaluation of protein-ligand interactions, and it is of strong interest to develop scoring functions with machine-learning approaches. In this work, by expanding the training set, developing physically meaningful features, employing our recently developed linear empirical scoring function Lin_F9 (Yang, C. J. Chem. Inf. Model. 2021, 61, 4630-4644) as the baseline, and applying extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) with Δ-machine learning, we have further improved the robustness and applicability of machine-learning scoring functions. Besides the top performances for scoring-ranking-screening power tests of the CASF-2016 benchmark, the new scoring function ΔLin_F9XGB also achieves superior scoring and ranking performances in different structure types that mimic real docking applications. The scoring powers of ΔLin_F9XGB for locally optimized poses, flexible redocked poses, and ensemble docked poses of the CASF-2016 core set achieve Pearson's correlation coefficient (R) values of 0.853, 0.839, and 0.813, respectively. In addition, the large-scale docking-based virtual screening test on the LIT-PCBA data set demonstrates the reliability and robustness of ΔLin_F9XGB in virtual screening application. The ΔLin_F9XGB scoring function and its code are freely available on the web at (https://yzhang.hpc.nyu.edu/Delta_LinF9_XGB).

A D3R prospective evaluation of machine learning for protein-ligand scoring.

Project description:We assess the performance of several machine learning-based scoring methods at protein-ligand pose prediction, virtual screening, and binding affinity prediction. The methods and the manner in which they were trained make them sufficiently diverse to evaluate the utility of various strategies for training set curation and binding pose generation, but they share a novel approach to classification in the context of protein-ligand scoring. Rather than explicitly using structural data such as affinity values or information extracted from crystal binding poses for training, we instead exploit the abundance of data available from high-throughput screening to approach the problem as one of discriminating binders from non-binders. We evaluate the performance of our various scoring methods in the 2015 D3R Grand Challenge and find that although the merits of some features of our approach remain inconclusive, our scoring methods performed comparably to a state-of-the-art scoring function that was fit to binding affinity data.

AGL-Score: Algebraic Graph Learning Score for Protein-Ligand Binding Scoring, Ranking, Docking, and Screening.

Project description:Although algebraic graph theory-based models have been widely applied in physical modeling and molecular studies, they are typically incompetent in the analysis and prediction of biomolecular properties, confirming the common belief that "one cannot hear the shape of a drum". A new development in the century-old question about the spectrum-geometry relationship is provided. Novel algebraic graph learning score (AGL-Score) models are proposed to encode high-dimensional physical and biological information into intrinsically low-dimensional representations. The proposed AGL-Score models employ multiscale weighted colored subgraphs to describe crucial molecular and biomolecular interactions in terms of graph invariants derived from graph Laplacian, its pseudo-inverse, and adjacency matrices. Additionally, AGL-Score models are integrated with an advanced machine learning algorithm to predict biomolecular macroscopic properties from the low-dimensional graph representation of biomolecular structures. The proposed AGL-Score models are extensively validated for their scoring power, ranking power, docking power, and screening power via a number of benchmark datasets, namely CASF-2007, CASF-2013, and CASF-2016. Numerical results indicate that the proposed AGL-Score models are able to outperform other state-of-the-art scoring functions in protein-ligand binding scoring, ranking, docking, and screening. This study indicates that machine learning methods are powerful tools for molecular docking and virtual screening. It also indicates that spectral geometry or spectral graph theory has the ability to infer geometric properties.

Machine-Learning- and Knowledge-Based Scoring Functions Incorporating Ligand and Protein Fingerprints.

Project description:We propose a novel machine-learning-based scoring function for drug discovery that incorporates ligand and protein structural information into a knowledge-based PMF score. Molecular docking, a simulation method for structure-based drug design (SBDD), is expected to reduce the enormous costs associated with conventional experimental methods in terms of rational drug discovery. Molecular docking has two main purposes: to predict ligand-binding structures for target proteins and to predict protein-ligand binding affinity. Currently available programs of molecular docking offer an accurate prediction of ligand binding structures for many systems. However, the accurate prediction of binding affinity remains challenging. In this study, we developed a new scoring function that incorporates fingerprints representing ligand and protein structures as descriptors in the PMF score. Here, regression analysis of the scoring function was performed using the following machine learning techniques: least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM). The results on a test data set showed that the binding affinity delivered by the newly developed scoring function has a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.79 with the experimental value, which surpasses that of the conventional scoring functions. Further analysis provided a chemical understanding of the descriptors that contributed significantly to the improvement in prediction accuracy. Our approach and findings are useful for rational drug discovery.

A generalized protein-ligand scoring framework with balanced scoring, docking, ranking and screening powers.

Project description:Applying machine learning algorithms to protein-ligand scoring functions has aroused widespread attention in recent years due to the high predictive accuracy and affordable computational cost. Nevertheless, most machine learning-based scoring functions are only applicable to a specific task, e.g., binding affinity prediction, binding pose prediction or virtual screening, suggesting that the development of a scoring function with balanced performance in all critical tasks remains a grand challenge. To this end, we propose a novel parameterization strategy by introducing an adjustable binding affinity term that represents the correlation between the predicted outcomes and experimental data into the training of mixture density network. The resulting residue-atom distance likelihood potential not only retains the superior docking and screening power over all the other state-of-the-art approaches, but also achieves a remarkable improvement in scoring and ranking performance. We emphatically explore the impacts of several key elements on prediction accuracy as well as the task preference, and demonstrate that the performance of scoring/ranking and docking/screening tasks of a certain model could be well balanced through an appropriate manner. Overall, our study highlights the potential utility of our innovative parameterization strategy as well as the resulting scoring framework in future structure-based drug design.

Machine Learning Scoring Functions for Drug Discovery from Experimental and Computer-Generated Protein-Ligand Structures: Towards Per-Target Scoring Functions.

Project description:In recent years, machine learning has been proposed as a promising strategy to build accurate scoring functions for computational docking finalized to numerically empowered drug discovery. However, the latest studies have suggested that over-optimistic results had been reported due to the correlations present in the experimental databases used for training and testing. Here, we investigate the performance of an artificial neural network in binding affinity predictions, comparing results obtained using both experimental protein-ligand structures as well as larger sets of computer-generated structures created using commercial software. Interestingly, similar performances are obtained on both databases. We find a noticeable performance suppression when moving from random horizontal tests to vertical tests performed on target proteins not included in the training data. The possibility to train the network on relatively easily created computer-generated databases leads us to explore per-target scoring functions, trained and tested ad-hoc on complexes including only one target protein. Encouraging results are obtained, depending on the type of protein being addressed.

OPUS-CSF: A C-atom-based scoring function for ranking protein structural models.

Project description:We report a C-atom-based scoring function, named OPUS-CSF, for ranking protein structural models. Rather than using traditional Boltzmann formula, we built a scoring function (CSF score) based on the native distributions (derived from the entire PDB) of coordinate components of mainchain C (carbonyl) atoms on selected residues of peptide segments of 5, 7, 9, and 11 residues in length. In testing OPUS-CSF on decoy recognition, it maximally recognized 257 native structures out of 278 targets in 11 commonly used decoy sets, significantly outperforming other popular all-atom empirical potentials. The average correlation coefficient with TM-score was also comparable with those of other potentials. OPUS-CSF is a highly coarse-grained scoring function, which only requires input of partial mainchain information, and very fast. Thus, it is suitable for applications at early stage of structural building.

Incorporating Explicit Water Molecules and Ligand Conformation Stability in Machine-Learning Scoring Functions.

Project description:Structure-based drug design is critically dependent on accuracy of molecular docking scoring functions, and there is of significant interest to advance scoring functions with machine learning approaches. In this work, by judiciously expanding the training set, exploring new features related to explicit mediating water molecules as well as ligand conformation stability, and applying extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) with Δ-Vina parametrization, we have improved robustness and applicability of machine-learning scoring functions. The new scoring function ΔvinaXGB can not only perform consistently among the top compared to classical scoring functions for the CASF-2016 benchmark but also achieves significantly better prediction accuracy in different types of structures that mimic real docking applications.

Performance of Force-Field- and Machine Learning-Based Scoring Functions in Ranking MAO-B Protein-Inhibitor Complexes in Relevance to Developing Parkinson's Therapeutics.

Project description:Monoamine oxidase B (MAOB) is expressed in the mitochondrial membrane and has a key role in degrading various neurologically active amines such as benzylamine, phenethylamine and dopamine with the help of Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) cofactor. The Parkinson's disease associated symptoms can be treated using inhibitors of MAO-B as the dopamine degradation can be reduced. Currently, many inhibitors are available having micromolar to nanomolar binding affinities. However, still there is demand for compounds with superior binding affinity and binding specificity with favorable pharmacokinetic properties for treating Parkinson's disease and computational screening methods can be majorly recruited for this. However, the accuracy of currently available force-field methods for ranking the inhibitors or lead drug-like compounds should be improved and novel methods for screening compounds need to be developed. We studied the performance of various force-field-based methods and data driven approaches in ranking about 3753 compounds having activity against the MAO-B target. The binding affinities computed using autodock and autodock-vina are shown to be non-reliable. The force-field-based MM-GBSA also under-performs. However, certain machine learning approaches, in particular KNN, are found to be superior, and we propose KNN as the most reliable approach for ranking the complexes to reasonable accuracy. Furthermore, all the employed machine learning approaches are also computationally less demanding.

A ranking-based scoring function for peptide-spectrum matches.

Project description:The analysis of the large volume of tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) proteomics data that is generated these days relies on automated algorithms that identify peptides from their mass spectra. An essential component of these algorithms is the scoring function used to evaluate the quality of peptide-spectrum matches (PSMs). In this paper, we present new approach to scoring of PSMs. We argue that since this problem is at its core a ranking task (especially in the case of de novo sequencing), it can be solved effectively using machine learning ranking algorithms. We developed a new discriminative boosting-based approach to scoring. Our scoring models draw upon a large set of diverse feature functions that measure different qualities of PSMs. Our method improves the performance of our de novo sequencing algorithm beyond the current state-of-the-art, and also greatly enhances the performance of database search programs. Furthermore, by increasing the efficiency of tag filtration and improving the sensitivity of PSM scoring, we make it practical to perform large-scale MS/MS analysis, such as proteogenomic search of a six-frame translation of the human genome (in which we achieve a reduction of the running time by a factor of 15 and a 60% increase in the number of identified peptides, compared to the InsPecT database search tool). Our scoring function is incorporated into PepNovo+ which is available for download or can be run online at http://bix.ucsd.edu.
