摘要: 药物靶标相互作用(Drug-Target Interaction,DTI)预测是新药研发过程中的核心环节,近年来将其与深度学习结合成为药物发现领域的一个重要发展方向。然而,现有方法在处理药物分子与蛋白靶标的空间结构信息、特征融合策略以及计算复杂度等方面仍存在诸多亟待解决的问题。为应对这些挑战,文中提出了一种基于双线性注意力网络的模型,用于精准预测药物与靶标之间的相互作用。该模型通过多层图注意力网络生成药物分子的特征表示,利用多层卷积神经网络结合SE模块生成蛋白质靶标的特征表示。随后,借助多头注意力机制的双线性注意力网络融合这两种特征表示,并通过块项张量分解模块有效减少模型参数量,从而获得更优的预测性能。在两个公开数据集BindingDB和BioSNAP上进行了实验,所提出的BAN_DTI模型在AUROC,AUPRC,Specifity,Accuracy,Sensitivity 5项评估指标上的表现显著超越了对比的SOTA方法。

Abstract: Drug-target interaction(DTI) prediction is a core component in the process of new drug development.In recent years,the integration of DTI prediction with deep learning has emerged as an important direction in the field of drug discovery.How-ever,existing methods still face numerous challenges in handling the three-dimensional spatial structural information of drug molecules and protein targets,feature fusion strategies,and computational complexity.To address these challenges,a model based on the bilinear attention network is proposed to accurately predict the interactions between drugs and targets.The model generates feature representations of drug molecules using a multi-layer graph attention network and creates feature representations of protein targets using a multi-layer convolutional neural network combined with an SE module.Subsequently,the bilinear attention network with multi-head attention mechanism fuses these two types of feature representations and effectively reduces the model parameter quantity through a block tensor decomposition module,thereby achieving superior predictive performance.Experiments are conducted on two public datasets,BindingDB and BioSNAP,and the proposed BAN_DTI model significantly outperforms the compared state-of-the-art methods in five evaluation metrics:AUROC,AUPRC,Specificity,Accuracy,and Sensitivity.
