摘要

Background

Drug-target binding affinity (DTA) prediction can accelerate the drug screening process, and deep learning techniques have been used in all facets of drug research. Affinity prediction based on deep learning methods has proven crucial to drug discovery, design, and reuse. Among these, the sequence-based approach using 1D sequences of drugs and targets as inputs typically results in the loss of structural information, whereas the structure-based method frequently results in increased computing costs due to the intricate structure of the molecule graph.

Results

We propose a sequential multifeature fusion method (SMFF-DTA) to achieve efficient and accurate prediction. SMFF-DTA uses sequential methods to represent the structural information and physicochemical properties of drugs and targets and introduces multiple attention blocks to capture interaction features closely.

Conclusions

As demonstrated by our extensive studies, SMFF-DTA outperforms the other methods in terms of various metrics, showing its advantages and effectiveness as a drug-target binding affinity predictor.
