How long does it take to predict ligand binding sites for all 220k proteins in the PDB? P2Rank 2.5 does it in 3 hours on a single CPU (16-core amd 5950x)—2x faster than the previous version 🚀. (1/n)

We re-ran AF3 without templates, since we noticed it could use any template in the PDB, including the ground truth. We see the performance drops slightly in the lowest bins, but the gap to other methods still exists. We will update the preprint shortly!

Have #AI methods for protein-ligand co-folding moved beyond memorisation and predict really novel leads for #drugdiscovery? Or do we find “more of the same”? This new benchmark lets you find out… ⬇️⬇️⬇️

We’ve been benchmarking deep learning co-folding methods for protein-ligand complex prediction, leading to the creation of 🌹Runs N’ Poses🌹. Great effort by @peterskrinjar.bsky.social and @jeeberhardt.bsky.social putting this together so quickly. Please have a look, excited for community feedback!

Re docking: @workshopmlsb.bsky.social has been piloting a leaderboard for the PLINDER benchmark. It would be awesome to get submissions using existing methods, then everyone can see comparisons better 😁 leaderboard & instructions are on mlsb.io

We actually had a similar benchmark (with LDDT-PLI) in the same CASP15 issue a while ago (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/..., Fig3B) conclusions were (1) pocket detection needed for physics-based (2) DL models overfit (3) nothing performs on non "re-docking". Was my main inspiration for PLINDER
