Researchers have systematically investigated molecular encoding methods for predicting drug properties using both traditional neural networks and Transformer-based models. Their study, which involved training models on seven datasets and evaluating various fingerprint types, found that models consistently achieved AUC values above 0.9 for tasks like toxicity and mutagenicity prediction. The Transformer model, when using MACCS and PubChem fingerprints, demonstrated an ability to identify chemically interpretable groups relevant to blood-brain barrier permeability and mutagenicity, highlighting the potential for interpretable molecular informatics in drug discovery.
