BioLM-Score: Language-Prior Conditioned Probabilistic Geometric Potentials for Protein-Ligand Scoring

Zhangfan Yang, Baoyun Chen, Dong Xu +4

Protein-ligand scoring is a central component of structure-based drug design, underpinning molecular docking, virtual screening, and pose optimization. Conventional physics-based e…

From Tokens to Blocks: A Block-Diffusion Perspective on Molecular Generation

Qianwei Yang, Dong Xu, Zhangfan Yang +4

Drug discovery can be viewed as a combinatorial search over an immense chemical space, motivating the development of deep generative models for de novo molecular design. Among thes…

IBEX: Information-Bottleneck-EXplored Coarse-to-Fine Molecular Generation under Limited Data

Dong Xu, Zhangfan Yang, Jenna Xinyi Yao +3

Three-dimensional generative models increasingly drive structure-based drug discovery, yet it remains constrained by the scarce publicly available protein-ligand complexes. Under s…

MODA: A Unified 3D Diffusion Framework for Multi-Task Target-Aware Molecular Generation

Dong Xu, Zhangfan Yang, Sisi Yuan +3

Three-dimensional molecular generators based on diffusion models can now reach near-crystallographic accuracy, yet they remain fragmented across tasks. SMILES-only inputs, two-stag…

Dockformer: A transformer-based molecular docking paradigm for large-scale virtual screening

Zhangfan Yang, Junkai Ji, Shan He +5

Molecular docking is a crucial step in drug development, which enables the virtual screening of compound libraries to identify potential ligands that target proteins of interest. H…
