Researchers at the GIST Identify New Medicines Using Interpretable Deep Learning Predictions

New drugs are predicted for target proteins using a new, interpretable deep learning-based model with improved prediction and transparency

April 5, 2022

In the drug discovery process, drugs are tested for their ability to bind or interact with target molecules in the body. While deep learning models have made this process quite efficient, their predictions often lack interpretability. Addressing this, researchers at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology develop a new deep learning model that not only makes better predictions of drug-target interactions but does so interpretably, providing a good starting point for further drug discovery.

An important aspect of drug discovery involves determining how well a drug binds to its target (protein) molecule. Typically, this … Read More →
