Heterogeneous graph convolutional neural network for protein-ligand scoring

Résumé

Aim: Drug discovery is a long process, often taking decades of research endeavors. It is still an active area of research in both academic and industrial sectors with efforts on reducing time and cost. Computational simulations like molecular docking enable fast exploration of large databases of compounds and extract the most promising molecule candidates for further in vitro and in vivo tests. Structure-based molecular docking is a complex process mixing both surface exploration and energy estimation to find the minimal free energy of binding corresponding to the best interaction location. Methods: Hereafter, heterogeneous graph score (HGScore), a new scoring function is proposed and is developed in the context of a protein-small compound-complex. Each complex is represented by a heterogeneous graph allowing to separate edges according to their class (inter- or intra-molecular). Then a heterogeneous graph convolutional network (HGCN) is used allowing the discrimination of the information according to the edge crossed. In the end, the model produces the affinity score of the complex. Results: HGScore has been tested on the comparative assessment of scoring functions (CASF) 2013 and 2016 benchmarks for scoring, ranking, and docking powers. It has achieved good performances by outperforming classical methods and being among the best artificial intelligence (AI) methods. Conclusions: Thus, HGScore brings a new way to represent protein-ligand interactions. Using a representation that involves classical graph neural networks (GNNs) and splitting the learning process regarding the edge type makes the proposed model to be the best adapted for future transfer learning on other (protein-DNA, protein-sugar, protein-protein, etc.) biological complexes.
