New method estimates DNA-encoded library size for machine learning models

Researchers have developed a new method to estimate the required size of a second-generation DNA-encoded library (DEL) for training high-resolution binding models. This approach uses an "energy pixels" concept, treating binding as a sum of small interactions between a target protein and a ligand. By analyzing the spread of affinities from an initial DEL, the method determines the number of compounds needed for dense sampling and identifies tight binders, thereby estimating the complexity required for effective machine learning guidance in medicinal chemistry.

    Using an energy pixels approach to estimate the size a 2nd Generation DEL must be to train a high-resolution binding model

    DNA-encoded libraries (DELs) are commonly used to find small-molecule binders to a target protein. But the hard part is no longer finding a hit. It is building a machine-learning model good enough to guide the medicinal chemistry that follows, one that can resolve the shift in af…
