Thrilled to see our work on Ξ²-lactams and SARS-CoV-2 Mpro published in @rscmedchem.rsc.org! Itβs been a pleasure contributing the computational modelling to this collaboration, which highlights how subtle chemical modifications can shift inhibition mechanisms.

π By virtue of its simplicity, QuickBind can serve as both an effective virtual screening tool and a minimal test bed for exploring new model architectures and innovations.
π By virtue of its simplicity, QuickBind can serve as both an effective virtual screening tool and a minimal test bed for exploring new model architectures and innovations.
π We investigated the mechanistic basis by which QuickBind makes predictions and found that it has learned key physicochemical properties of molecular docking.
π To facilitate high-throughput virtual screening applications, we augmented QuickBind with a binding affinity module and demonstrate its capabilities for multiple clinically-relevant drug targets.
π¬ QuickBind predicts how a small molecule will bind to a target protein, a key component of early-stage computational drug discovery.
βοΈ We assessed QuickBind on widely used benchmarks and found that it provides an attractive trade-off between model accuracy and runtime.
I presented QuickBind in a Spotlight Presentation at MLCB 2024 in Seattle, and it's now been published in the corresponding volume of PMLR (proceedings.mlr.press/v261/treyde2...).
Excited to share my master's thesis work with Chris Kim, Nazim Bouatta, and @moalquraishi.bsky.social: QuickBind, a light-weight and interpretable molecular docking model (arxiv.org/abs/2410.16474).
