Abstract
Drug discovery is a highly complicated and time-consuming process. One of the main challenges in drug development is predicting whether a drug-like molecule will interact with a specific target protein. This prediction accelerates target validation and drug development. Recent research in biomolecular sciences has shown significant interest in algebraic graph-based models for representing molecular complexes and predicting drug-target binding affinity. In this thesis, we present algebraic graph-based molecular representations to create data-driven scoring functions (SF) using extended atom types to capture wide-range interactions between targets and drug candidates. Our model employs multiscale weighted colored subgraphs for the protein-ligand complex, colored based on SYBYL atom types. Utilizing machine learning and deep learning techniques such as gradient-boosting decision trees (GBDT), random forests (RF), support vector machines (SVM), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and graph convolutional neural networks (GCNs), our SF outperformed numerous state-of-the-art models in various PDBbind benchmark datasets for binding affinity scoring power, the D3R dataset, a worldwide grand challenge in drug design, and various blood-brain permeability prediction datasets.
