Binding affinity prediction for protein–ligand complex using deep attention mechanism based on intermolecular interactions
Abstract Background Accurate prediction of protein–ligand binding affinity is important for lowering the overall cost of drug discovery in structure-based drug design. For accurate predictions, many classical scoring functions and machine learning-based methods have been developed. However, these te...
