abstract:
Predicting the binding structure of a small molecule ligand to a protein is critical to drug design. Unlike previous work, we frame molecular docking as a generative modeling problem and develop DiffDock, a diffusion generative model over the non-Euclidean manifold of ligand poses. Empirically, DiffDock significantly outperforms the previous state-of-the-art traditional docking and deep learning methods on both crystal and computationally folded structures.
Thank you for explaining how DiffDock works. How does DiffDock deal with non standard molecules in pdb? Do we need to remove them before docking?
