Official implementation of PMDM, a dual diffusion model enables 3D binding bioactive molecule generation and lead optimization given target pockets, by Lei Huang.
- Our paper is accepted by Nature Communications !! (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-46569-1)
- If you are interested in generating molecules from scatch (without protein pockets), please refer to our previous work MDM
- Please contact me if you are interested in my work and look for academic collaboration. (layne_huang@outlook.com).
Please use our environment file to install the environment.
# Clone the environment
conda env create -f mol.yml
# Activate the environment
conda activate mol
For docking, install QuickVina 2:
wget https://github.com/QVina/qvina/raw/master/bin/qvina2.1
chmod +x qvina2.1
Preparing the receptor for docking (pdb -> pdbqt) requires a new environment which is based on python 2x, so we need to create a new environment:
# Clone the environment
conda env create -f evaluation/env_adt.yml
# Activate the environment
conda activate adt
The pre-trained model (500.pt) could be downloaded from Zenodo or Google Drive.
Download and extract the dataset is provided in Zenodo
The original CrossDocked dataset can be found at https://bits.csb.pitt.edu/files/crossdock2020/
Download the dataset
wget http://www.bindingmoad.org/files/biou/every_part_a.zip
wget http://www.bindingmoad.org/files/biou/every_part_b.zip
wget http://www.bindingmoad.org/files/csv/every.csv
unzip every_part_a.zip

We provide two training scripts train.py and train_ddp_op.py for single-GPU training and multi-GPU training.
Starting a new training run:
python -u train.py --config <config>.yml
The example configure file is in configs/crossdock_epoch.yml
Resuming a previous run:
python -u train.py --config <configure file path>
The config argument should be the upper path of the configure file.
python -u sample_batch.py --ckpt <checkpoint> --num_samples <number of samples> --sampling_type generalized
python -u sample_for_pdb.py --ckpt <checkpoint> --pdb_path <pdb path> --num_atom <num atom> --num_samples <number of samples> --sampling_type generalized
num_atom
is the number of atoms of generated molecules (It is suggested to be no more than 30 if you use our pretrained model).
python -u sample_frag.py --ckpt <checkpoint> --pdb_path <pdb path> --mol_file <mole file> --keep_index <seed fragments index> --num_atom <num atom> --num_samples <number of samples> --sampling_type generalized
num_atom
is the number of atoms of generated fragments. keep_index
is the index of the atoms of the seed fragments.
You could utilize the following code to visualize the index of your molecule.
from rdkit import Chem
mol = Chem.SDMolSupplier(f)[0]
smiles = Chem.MolToSmiles(mol)
print(smiles)
mol.RemoveAllConformers()
for i, atom in enumerate(mol.GetAtoms()):
atom.SetProp('molAtomMapNumber', str(i))
Draw.MolToImage(mol, size=(1000,1000))
For example, you could set keep index as 4 5 10 11 12 13 14 for the following molecule to generate novel molecules based on the desired fragment.
Here is an example command
python -u sample_frag.py --ckpt 500.pt --pdb_path data/2VUKcut10/2VUKcut10_pocket.pdb --mol_file data/2VUKcut10/2VUKcut10_ligand.sdf --keep_index 4 5 10 11 12 13 14 --num_atom 18 --num_samples 20 --sampling_type generalized
The reference generated molecule is shown as follows:
python -u sample_linker.py --ckpt <checkpoint> --pdb_path <pdb path> --mol_file <mole file> --keep_index <seed fragments index> --num_atom <num atom> --num_samples <number of samples> --sampling_type generalized
num_atom
is the number of atoms of generated fragments. mask
is the index of the linker that you would like to replace in the original molecule.
For example, you could mask 5 6 7 8 9 10 to generate new linkers.
Here is an example command
python -u sample_linker.py --ckpt 500.pt --pdb_path data/3wzecut10/3wzecut10_pocket.pdb --mol_file data/3wzecut10/3wzecut10_ligand.sdf --mask 5 6 7 8 9 10 --num_atom 4 --num_samples 1 --sampling_type generalized --batch_size 1 -build_method reconstruct
The reference generated molecule is shown as follows:
Evaluate the batch of generated molecules (You need to turn on the save_results
arguments in sample* scripts)
python -u evaluate --path <molecule_path>
If you want to evaluate a single molecule, use evaluate_single.py
.
First, convert all protein PDB files to PDBQT files using adt envrionment.
conda activate adt
prepare_receptor4.py -r {} -o {}
cd evaluation
Then, compute QuickVina scores:
conda deactivate
conda activate mol
python docking_2_single.py --receptor_file <prepapre_receptor4_outdir> --sdf_file <sdf file> --out_dir <qvina_outdir>
!!! You have to replace the path of your own mol and adt environment paths with the path in the scripts already.
