SynLaD: Latent Diffusion for Generating Synthesizable Molecules Conditioned on 3D Pharmacophore Profiles

Miruna Cretu, John Bradshaw, Patricia Suriana +6

We present SynLaD, a latent diffusion framework for small-molecule generation that unifies ligand-based drug design objectives (what to make) with synthetic accessibility (how to m…

Beyond Atoms: Evaluating Electron Density Representation for 3D Molecular Learning

Patricia Suriana, Joshua A. Rackers, Ewa M. Nowara +3

Machine learning models for 3D molecular property prediction typically rely on atom-based representations, which may overlook subtle physical information. Electron density maps --…

Pharmacophore-based design by learning on voxel grids

Omar Mahmood, Pedro O. Pinheiro, Richard Bonneau +2

Ligand-based drug discovery (LBDD) relies on making use of known binders to a protein target to find structurally diverse molecules similarly likely to bind. This process typically…

Similarity-Quantized Relative Difference Learning for Improved Molecular Activity Prediction

Karina Zadorozhny, Kangway V. Chuang, Bharath Sathappan +3

Accurate prediction of molecular activities is crucial for efficient drug discovery, yet remains challenging due to limited and noisy datasets. We introduce Similarity-Quantized Re…

Structure-based drug design by denoising voxel grids

Pedro O. Pinheiro, Arian Jamasb, Omar Mahmood +2

We present VoxBind, a new score-based generative model for 3D molecules conditioned on protein structures. Our approach represents molecules as 3D atomic density grids and leverage…

3D molecule generation by denoising voxel grids

Pedro O. Pinheiro, Joshua Rackers, Joseph Kleinhenz +6

We propose a new score-based approach to generate 3D molecules represented as atomic densities on regular grids. First, we train a denoising neural network that learns to map from…
