Binding Free Energies without Alchemy

Michael Brocidiacono, Brandon Novy, Rishabh Dey +2

Absolute Binding Free Energy (ABFE) methods are among the most accurate computational techniques for predicting protein-ligand binding affinities, but their utility is limited by t…

Extending machine learning model for implicit solvation to free energy calculations

Rishabh Dey, Michael Brocidiacono, Kushal Koirala +2

The implicit solvent approach offers a computationally efficient framework to model solvation effects in molecular simulations. However, its accuracy often falls short compared to…

An Improved Metric and Benchmark for Assessing the Performance of Virtual Screening Models

Michael Brocidiacono, Konstantin I. Popov, Alexander Tropsha

Structure-based virtual screening (SBVS) is a key workflow in computational drug discovery. SBVS models are assessed by measuring the enrichment of known active molecules over deco…

PLANTAIN: Diffusion-inspired Pose Score Minimization for Fast and Accurate Molecular Docking

Michael Brocidiacono, Konstantin I. Popov, David Ryan Koes +1

Molecular docking aims to predict the 3D pose of a small molecule in a protein binding site. Traditional docking methods predict ligand poses by minimizing a physics-inspired scori…
