Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bioinformatics, and in particular, to a method for predicting protein implicit binding sites based on deep learning and its application. Background Art

[0002] Accurate prediction of protein-ligand binding sites is of great significance for drug design and development. Existing prediction methods are mainly divided into three categories: geometry-based methods, energy-based methods, and machine learning-based methods. Geometry-based prediction tools mainly rely on static geometric features on the protein surface for pocket recognition, and it is difficult to capture transient binding sites caused by conformational dynamic changes, and their prediction accuracy is generally lower than 90%. Although energy-based methods (such as SiteMap, FTMap, etc.) consider intermolecular interactions, they have high computational costs and are difficult to process large-scale protein datasets.

[0003] Currently, machine learning-based methods have obvious limitations in feature extraction. These methods mainly focus on local structural features and fail to fully integrate evolutionary information and dynamic features, resulting in poor prediction effects for function-related sites. Especially when dealing with highly conserved regulatory sites, due to the lack of consideration of evolutionary pressure, the accuracy is significantly reduced. In addition, existing methods do not integrate protein sequence and structure information deeply enough and fail to effectively utilize the sequence-structure-function association information.

[0004] For protein targets that are difficult to handle by traditional methods (such as KRAS mutants), the existing technologies face serious challenges. Such proteins usually lack well-defined binding pockets and have complex and variable conformational states. When existing methods deal with such targets, the prediction accuracy generally drops by more than 30%. Taking KRASG12D as an example, its structure has high dynamics and diversity, and traditional static structure analysis methods are difficult to accurately identify its potential drug binding sites. At the same time, there are obvious deficiencies in the verification system of existing prediction methods, lacking unified evaluation criteria and benchmark datasets, resulting in difficult direct comparison of performances between different methods. The biological verification of prediction results is not sufficient enough, especially lacking experimental verification of the functional importance of predicted sites.

[0005] With the rapid accumulation of protein structure data, existing methods face serious computational efficiency problems when dealing with large-scale datasets. Especially when integrating multi-source features and performing dynamic simulations, the consumption of computational resources is huge. In addition, existing methods have limited support for real-time prediction and are difficult to meet the rapid screening requirements in the drug design process. In terms of generalization ability, when dealing with proteins with a sequence similarity lower than 30%, the prediction performance of existing methods drops significantly. This problem is particularly obvious when dealing with newly discovered protein families, limiting the practical application value of the methods. At the same time, the recognition capabilities of existing methods for different types of binding sites (such as allosteric sites, protein-protein interaction sites, etc.) are uneven. Therefore, how to develop new protein binding site prediction methods has become an urgent problem to be solved currently. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a prediction method and application of protein implicit binding sites based on deep learning. This method should be able to effectively integrate multi-source information, provide reliable prediction results, and have good generalization ability. Especially for intractable drug targets, it can accurately identify and evaluate potential drug binding sites. It aims to solve the limitations of traditional drug design methods when dealing with complex proteins lacking clear druggable pockets (such as Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog KRAS G12D ) with a G12D mutation.

[0007] To achieve this purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] In the first aspect, the present invention provides a prediction method of protein implicit binding sites based on deep learning. The prediction method includes:

[0009] S1: In the data collection stage, an initial dataset is obtained from a protein database, data screening is performed, sequence redundancy is eliminated, the obtained PDB structure file is standardized, and samples are generated;

[0010] S2: In the feature engineering stage, the generated samples are used to construct a composite feature space including basic protein features and evolutionary conserved features;

[0011] S3: In the model training stage, a hierarchical feature transformation architecture is adopted for the composite feature space, feature dimension reduction is achieved through an integrated feature selection method, and the model architecture is carried out;

[0012] S4: In the verification and application stage, verification is carried out through the ROC-AUC and PR-AUC curve graphs of model performance evaluation, the model prediction accuracy curve graph, and the prediction score distribution graph of the non-redundant dataset.

[0013] In the present invention, multi-source information is effectively integrated to provide reliable prediction results and has good generalization ability. Especially for intractable drug targets, potential drug-binding sites can be accurately identified and evaluated. Moreover, the training performance of this method is excellent. The model achieved excellent performance with both ROC-AUC and PR-AUC reaching 0.9998 during the training stage. The prediction accuracy was improved from 96.49% to 99.44% in the 29th training cycle. It has strong speaking ability and new sites were discovered, showing great application value on a large scale.

[0014] The evaluation on the validation set shows that this method has good generalization ability on 954 non-redundant protein structures with sequence identity lower than 30%. Especially when using the ImprovedBindingPredictor model, predictions are made through the multi-head attention mechanism (attention_heads = 4) and feature interaction dimension (feature_interaction_dim = 128), combined with feature importance weighted processing (correlation weight 0.35, mutual information weight 0.35, random forest weight 0.3). An average prediction score of 0.587 ± 0.248 (median: 0.751) was obtained on 2,829 diverse protein chains; the prediction results showed a 44.4% overlap rate with the known binding site database (BioLiP), and at the same time, 1,986 new high-confidence sites (prediction score threshold > 0.8) were discovered. Through the consistency loss constraint of lambda_consistency = 0.1 in RegularizedLoss, the model demonstrated extremely strong generalization ability, especially outstanding performance on the protein test set with high structural diversity.

[0015] Preferably, the criteria for data screening in step S1 are as follows:

[0016] A. The resolution of the protein is greater than 2.5 Å;

[0017] B. There are no missing residues or atoms in the structure;

[0018] C. The R factor is less than 0.25. The greater than 2.5 Å can be, for example, 2.6 Å, 3 Å, 5 Å, 8 Å, 10 Å, 15 Å or 20 Å, etc. The less than 0.25 can be, for example, 0, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2 or 0.24, etc.

[0019] Preferably, the parameters for sequence redundancy elimination in step S1 include: the sequence identity threshold is 85%-95%, the sequence coverage ≥ 80%, and the length difference ≤ 30%. The 85%-95% can be, for example, 85%, 86%, 88%, 90%, 92%, 94%, or 95%, etc. The sequence coverage ≥ 80% can be, for example, 80%, 82%, 84%, 86%, 88%, 90%, 92%, 94%, 96%, 98%, or 100%, etc. The length difference ≤ 30% can be, for example, 1%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, or 30%, etc.

[0020] Preferably, the steps of the normalization process in step S1 include: removing water molecules, ligands, and impurities in the structure, repairing missing side chain atoms, optimizing the positions of hydrogen atoms, and naming the normalized atoms.

[0021] Preferably, the method for sample generation in step S1 is:

[0022] a. Selection of positive samples: Centering on the ligand heavy atoms, select amino acid residues with complete side chains within a radius range of 8-12 Å, and at the same time exclude ligand covalent binding sites through structural analysis;

[0023] b. Selection of negative samples: Surface residues more than 20 Å away from all ligand heavy atoms, and set a threshold condition of relative surface accessibility not less than 20%.

[0024] Preferably, the basic protein features in step S2 include amino acid property features, secondary structure features, position-specific information features, and structural features;

[0025] Preferably, the amino acid property features include the hydrophobicity index, polarity indicator, charge property, relative volume ratio, aromaticity indicator, hydrophobicity index, side chain dissociation constant, and Chou-Fasman structure parameters of the amino acid.

[0026] The above amino acid property features are represented by the following vector:

[0027] v aa =[[H i ,[[P i ,[[C i ,[[V i ,[[A i ,[[H i ′[[,[[pK i ,[[R i .

[0028] Among them, H i : The hydrophobicity index of the amino acid, P i : Polarity indicator (0 or 1), C i: Charge property (-1 represents negative charge, 0 represents neutral charge, and 1 represents positive charge), V i : relative volume ratio, A i : Aromaticity indicator, H i ′: hydrophobicity index, pK i : side chain dissociation constant, R i : Chou-Fasman structural parameters.

[0029] Preferably, the method for obtaining the secondary structure characteristics includes the DSSP algorithm and / or the amino acid tendency prediction method;

[0030] Preferably, the formula of the method for predicting amino acid propensity is as follows:

[0031]

[0032] Among them, h aa is the helical tendency score of the amino acid, VAL is valine, ILE is isoleucine, and PHE is phenylalanine.

[0033] This formula describes a method for predicting secondary structure based on amino acid type. When the helical propensity score of an amino acid is higher than 0.6, an α-helical structure (H) is predicted; when the amino acid is valine, isoleucine, or phenylalanine, a β-sheet structure (E) is predicted; otherwise, a random coil structure (C) is predicted.

[0034] Preferably, the secondary structure feature vector is represented using one-hot encoding and is defined as:

[0035] v ss ={1 ss＝H ,1 ss＝E ,1 ss＝T ,1 ss＝C}

[0036] Among them, H represents α helix structure, E represents β fold structure, T represents β turn structure, and C represents random coil structure. When an amino acid has a certain secondary structure, the value of the corresponding position is 1, and the other positions are 0. For example, if the secondary structure of an amino acid is α helix (H), its eigenvector is v ss ={1,0,0,0}.

[0037] Preferably, the position-specific information feature is obtained by relative position and end indication in the sequence, and the calculation formula of the position-specific information feature is:

[0038]

[0039] in, is the relative position of the residue in the protein chain, 1 i≤3 is the N-terminal indicator, 1 i≥L-3 is the C-terminal indicator.

[0040] Preferably, the structural features include contact number feature, accessibility feature, backbone angle feature, side chain direction feature and other structural features.

[0041] Preferably, the contact number feature is calculated by counting the number of contacting residues within different radius ranges to describe the local structural environment:

[0042]

[0043] where: C r (i) represents the normalized contact number feature of residue i within a radius r, d ij represents the spatial distance between residue i and residue j (usually the Euclidean distance between α-carbon or β-carbon atoms), 1(d ij ≤r) is an indicator function that takes the value 1 when the distance between residue i and j is less than or equal to r, and 0 otherwise. Dividing by 100 is a normalization factor, and taking the minimum with 1.0 ensures that the feature value is restricted within the range [0,1]. This formula describes the local environmental crowding degree of residues in the protein structure and is an important parameter for characterizing the local structural features of proteins.

[0044] At different settings of radius r, local structural information at different scales can be captured:

[0045]

[0046] where and represent the contact number features within the ranges of 6 Å, 8 Å and 10 Å centered on residue i, respectively.

[0047] Preferably, the accessibility feature is calculated using the B factor, which reflects the exposure degree of the residue. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0048]

[0049] where, SC i represents the set of side chain atoms of residue i, B a represents the B factor of atom a. The complete accessibility feature vector is as follows:

[0050]

[0051] Preferably, the backbone angle feature is encoded using the sine and cosine values of the dihedral angle. The specific vector representation is as follows:

[0052] v angle = [cos(φ), sin(φ), cos(ψ), sin(ψ)].

[0053] In the present invention, the above coding method preserves the periodicity of the angle and avoids the discontinuity at 0° and 360°.

[0054] Preferably, the side-chain conformational feature is obtained by calculating the direction vector of the side-chain centroid relative to the Cα atom, and the specific vector representation is as follows:

[0055]

[0056] where is the vector pointing from the Cα atom to the side-chain centroid, and |SC i | is the number of side-chain atoms, which is used to represent the size of the side chain.

[0057] Preferably, the other structural features include the mean B-factor (1D), the three-dimensional coordinates of the α-carbon atom (3D), and other padding features (9D), which are used to capture the local and global structural environment information of the residue.

[0058] Preferably, the evolutionary conserved feature in step S2 is generated after being fused by a position-specific scoring matrix, a hidden Markov model feature, and a conservation score.

[0059] Preferably, the position-specific scoring matrix is obtained by normalizing each position i in the sequence, and the normalization formula is as follows:

[0060]

[0061] Preferably, the normalized position-specific scoring matrix contains 20 columns, corresponding to the occurrence probabilities or substitution propensities of 20 standard amino acids at each position. When the value range of a certain column is 0.05max(M i,j ) - min(M i,j ) < 0.05), this column is set to 0; when the original feature dimension is less than 20, the average value of the existing columns is used for filling, and the filling formula is as follows:

[0062]

[0063] where represents the filling value of the i-th row and j-th column in the position-specific scoring matrix, represents the normalized value of the i-th row and k-th column in the position-specific scoring matrix, j represents the column number to be filled, and j is greater than or equal to the original dimension.

[0064] Preferably, the hidden Markov model features are obtained by using a sliding window to calculate the local feature vector H for position i i , and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0065]

[0066] where w is the window size, and v k is the feature vector at position k.

[0067] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the window size is 3, and 28-dimensional local features are generated by applying sliding windows with different starting positions. This operation captures local patterns and variations by sliding a fixed-size window over the sequence:

[0068]

[0069] where v j is the jth value in the sequence, and n is the length of the sequence. These global statistical features can describe the distribution characteristics of the entire sequence.

[0070] All HMM features are standardized to ensure comparability between different dimensions:

[0071]

[0072] Preferably, the conservation score is calculated by a non-linear transformation, and the formula for the non-linear transformation calculation is as follows:

[0073]

[0074] where Conservation(i) is the score calculated by the non-linear transformation, and Var(M i ) is the variance of the position-specific scoring matrix at position i.

[0075] In the present invention, the above non-linear transformation calculation maps high variability (high variance) to low conservation values and low variability (low variance) to high conservation values, which is in line with biological intuition.

[0076] Preferably, the formula for fusion is as follows;

[0077] Vcomplete = [vaa, vss, vpos, vcontact, vacc, vangle, vsc, v struct , M normalized , H norm , Conservation];

[0078] where v aa represents the amino acid type feature vector, vss Represents the secondary structure feature vector, v pos Represents the position feature vector, v contact Represents the contact feature vector, v acc Represents the solvent accessibility feature vector, v angle Represents the dihedral angle feature vector, v sc Represents the side chain feature vector, v struct Represents the domain feature vector, M normalized Represents the position-specific scoring matrix after normalization, H norm Represents the normalized hydrogen bond formation propensity, and Conservation represents the sequence conservation score.

[0079] This fusion method integrates multiple protein features into a complete feature vector to provide more comprehensive protein structure and function information.

[0080] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, to generate binary classification labels, the K-means clustering algorithm (k = 2) is used to divide the samples into two categories:

[0081]

[0082] Where C i Is the i-th cluster, and μ i Is the centroid of this cluster. Label normalization ensures that the clustering labels are 0 and 1:

[0083] y = 1 - y if y < 1.

[0084] This rule ensures that all labels are normalized to values of 0 or 1. When the label value is less than 1, we transform it.

[0085] Preferably, the parameters of the integrated feature selection method in step S3 include correlation analysis with a weight of 0.3 - 0.4, mutual information index with a weight of 0.3 - 0.4, and random forest importance score with a weight of 0.25 - 0.35.

[0086] The combination of these parameter weights is used to comprehensively evaluate the importance of features, thereby performing optimal feature selection.

[0087] Preferably, the model architecture in step S3 includes capturing feature interaction relationships through a multi-head self-attention mechanism with 4 attention heads, each attention head having a dimension of 32, using Dropout with a probability of 0.1 for regularization, using a triple residual block with spectral normalization for feature compression, and applying label smoothing and binary cross-entropy loss function in the prediction layer, and using the AdamW optimizer for parameter optimization.

[0088] Preferably, the value range of α for label smoothing is 0.1 - 0.2, and for example, it can be 0.1, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13, 0.14, 0.15, 0.16, 0.17, 0.18, 0.19 or 0.20, etc.

[0089] Preferably, the learning rate range of the AdamW optimizer is 1×10 -5 to 1×10 -3 and for example, it can be 1×10 -3 、0.5×10 -3 、1×10 -4 、0.5×10 -4 or 1×10 -5 etc.

[0090] In the validation application stage, the accuracy of the prediction results was judged by the ROC-AUC and PR-AUC curve metrics in this experiment.

[0091] In a specific embodiment of this example, the accuracy of the prediction results was reflected through multi-dimensional model performance evaluation. The experimental results showed that both the ROC-AUC and PR-AUC curve metrics of this method reached an extremely high level of 0.9998, and the prediction accuracy steadily increased from the initial 96.49% to 99.44%. In the generalization ability test, the method showed excellent performance on 954 non-redundant protein structures with a sequence identity lower than 30%, and the average prediction score was 0.587 ± 0.248 (median: 0.751). In addition, the 44.4% overlap rate of the prediction results with the BioLiP database and 1,986 newly discovered high-confidence sites (prediction score > 0.8) further confirmed the high accuracy and practical value of this method in predicting unknown protein binding sites.

[0092] In a second aspect, the present invention provides an electronic device, including a processor, a memory, and a bus. The memory stores machine-readable instructions executable by the processor. When the electronic device runs, communication is carried out between the processor and the memory through the bus. When the machine-readable instructions are run by the processor, the steps of the prediction method for protein implicit binding sites based on deep learning as described in the first aspect are executed.

[0093] Preferably, the electronic device further includes a GPU acceleration module for accelerating deep learning model training and prediction, a distributed computing interface for supporting parallel computing in a cluster environment, a data storage module for managing prediction results and intermediate data, and a user interaction module for providing a command line and a graphical operation interface.

When the computer program is executed by a processor, the steps of the prediction method for protein implicit binding sites based on deep learning described in the first aspect are implemented.

[0095] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

The prediction method of the present invention was verified on 954 non-redundant protein structures with a sequence identity lower than 30%, demonstrating good generalization ability. 54,950 potential binding sites were identified among 155 historically difficult-to-drug human proteins, including 21,203 signal transduction protein-related sites and 6,852 enzyme sites, with an overlap rate of 44.4% with the known sites in the BioLiP database, and 1,986 novel high-confidence sites (threshold > 0.8) were discovered.

[0121] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods. However, the following examples are only simple examples of the present invention and do not represent or limit the scope of the protection of the rights of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be subject to the claims.

[0122] Example 1

[0123] In this example, the prediction of implicit binding sites of proteins based on deep learning is carried out.

[0124] As Figure 1 shown in the overall process schematic diagram of the prediction method of the present invention, the present invention provides a method for predicting implicit binding sites of proteins based on deep learning. The method includes four main stages: data collection, feature engineering, model training, and verification and application. Strict quality control standards and parameter optimization processes are set in each stage.

[0125] (1) Data collection stage

[0126] The initial data set is obtained from the Protein Data Bank (PDB). To ensure data quality, the present invention sets strict screening criteria: (1) Obtain crystal structure data containing 37,347 protein-ligand complexes; (2) Select structures with a resolution better than 2.5 angstroms to ensure the accuracy of atomic positions; (3) Require that there are no missing residues or atoms in the structure to ensure data integrity; (4) The R-factor is less than 0.25 to ensure the quality of the crystal structure. Further, the CD-HIT (Cluster Database at High Identity with Tolerance) program is used to eliminate sequence redundancy in the data set, and the following parameters are set: the sequence identity threshold is 90%, the sequence coverage is required to be not less than 80%, and the length difference does not exceed 30%. The setting of these parameters effectively balances the representativeness and non-redundancy of the data set.

[0127] As Figure 2 shown in the protein structure preprocessing process schematic diagram, the present invention designs a systematic structure preprocessing process. First, the obtained PDB structure file is standardized, including: (1) Removing water molecules, ligands, and other impurities in the structure; (2) Repairing missing side-chain atoms; (3) Optimizing the positions of hydrogen atoms; (4) Standardizing atomic names. Subsequently, the DSSP program is used to calculate secondary structure information, and the NACCESS program is used to calculate the relative surface accessibility of residues. For the polypeptide chains contained in the structure, quality assessment at the chain level is carried out one by one, including integrity check, geometric constraint verification, and atomic collision detection.

[0128] After completing the structure preprocessing, the present invention adopts a scientific sample generation strategy. For the selection of positive samples, centered on the heavy atoms of the ligand, within a radius of 8-12 angstroms In this example, 10 angstroms is adopted Amino acid residues with complete side chains within a certain radius, while excluding ligand covalent binding sites through structural analysis to avoid the generation of false positive samples. In this process, a method combining geometric distance and chemical bond analysis is used to identify covalent binding sites, ensuring that the selected positive samples represent the true non-covalent binding characteristics. For the selection of negative samples, surface residues more than 20 angstroms away from all heavy atoms of the ligand are preferably selected, and a threshold condition with a relative solvent accessibility (RSA) of not less than 20% is set to ensure that the selected negative samples have surface exposure characteristics. In addition, the Voronoia program is used to analyze the atomic density distribution around the residues to further verify the rationality of the selection of negative samples. The above surface residues, and a threshold condition with a relative solvent accessibility (RSA) of not less than 20% is set to ensure that the selected negative samples have surface exposure characteristics. In addition, the Voronoia program is used to analyze the atomic density distribution around the residues to further verify the rationality of the selection of negative samples.

[0129] Through the above strict sample screening strategy, a high-quality dataset containing 14,388,315 training samples was finally constructed, including 3,597,079 positive samples and 10,791,236 negative samples. The setting of the sample ratio fully considers the distribution characteristics of binding sites and non-binding sites in actual protein structures.

[0130] (2) Feature engineering stage

[0131] As Figure 3 shown in the feature engineering processing flow chart and as Figure 4 shown in the schematic diagram of constructing a 94-dimensional feature space, the present invention constructs a high-dimensional feature space in the feature engineering stage. This feature space includes two main parts: basic protein features (43 dimensions) and evolutionary conserved features (51 dimensions).

[0132] Among them, the basic protein features are further divided into four sub-modules: (1) Amino acid properties, including physicochemical characteristics such as hydrophilicity index, isoelectric point, molecular weight, and structural propensity parameters such as Chou-Fasman parameters; (2) Secondary structure features, calculating the probability distributions of alpha helix, beta sheet, turn, and random coil through the DSSP (Define Secondary Structure of Proteins) program; (3) Position-specific information, calculating relative solvent accessibility using the NACCESS program, calculating residue depth using the DEPTH program, and combining with the ProSA energy score; (4) Structural features, calculating microscopic structural features such as atomic density distribution, cavity volume, and atomic contact area through the Voronoia program.

[0133] Amino acid features (8 - dimensional): Contain key parameters based on the physicochemical properties of amino acids, specifically consisting of the following features: Amino acid hydrophilicity index, which reflects the dissolution tendency of amino acids in an aqueous environment; Presence or absence of polar groups (0 or 1 value), indicating whether the amino acid side chain contains polar functional groups; Charge property (-1 for negative charge, 0 for neutral, 1 for positive charge), reflecting the charged state of amino acids at physiological pH; Volume ratio, describing the relative size of amino acids; Aromaticity indicator, marking amino acids containing aromatic rings; Hydrophobicity index, representing the hydrophobic degree of amino acids; pKa value, indicating the side - chain dissociation constant; and Chou - Fasman parameters, indicating the tendency of amino acids to form specific secondary structures.

[0134] Secondary structure features (4 - dimensional): The predicted distribution obtained through the DSSP (Define Secondary Structure of Proteins) program. These features include: Alpha - helix probability, indicating the likelihood that the residue forms an alpha - helix structure; Beta - sheet probability, indicating the tendency to form a beta - sheet structure; Turn structure probability, representing the likelihood of forming a turn or bend conformation; Random coil probability, reflecting the tendency of an irregular structure. When the DSSP program is unavailable, the code makes a simple prediction based on the alpha - helix and beta - sheet propensities of the amino acids themselves.

[0135] Position features (4 - dimensional): Reflect the position and structural environment of residues in the protein chain. Specifically include: Relative position (the position of the residue in the chain divided by the chain length), indicating the relative position of the residue in the sequence; N - terminal indicator, marking whether it is in the first three positions before the amino - terminus; C - terminal indicator, marking whether it is in the last three positions after the carboxyl - terminus; and a padding value of 1.0 for feature normalization.

[0136] Contact number features (3 - dimensional): Based on the count of neighboring residues within spheres of different radii, reflecting the spatial contact environment of residues. Include: The number of contacts within 6.0 Å (normalized to 0 - 1); The number of contacts within 8.0 Å (normalized to 0 - 1); The number of contacts within 10.0 Å (normalized to 0 - 1). These features reflect the crowding degree and local density of residues.

[0137] Accessibility features (3 - dimensional): Evaluate the degree of exposure of residues to the solvent. These features include: The proportion of side - chain atoms with a B - factor greater than 30, estimating the likelihood of exposure to the solvent; Exposure indicator, marking whether there are exposed atoms (0 or 1); Atom count indicator, marking whether there are side - chain atoms (0 or 1). A higher B - factor usually indicates that the atomic position is unstable and may be more exposed to the solvent.

[0138] Backbone angle features (4 - dimensional): Describe the geometric information of the protein backbone dihedral angles. Include: Cosine value of the angle, Sine value of the angle, cosine value of the ψ angle, sine value of the ψ angle. This trigonometric function encoding method ensures the periodic representation of the angle, and the ψ angle are key parameters defining the backbone conformation of the protein.

[0139] Side-chain direction features (4D): Describe the spatial orientation of the amino acid side chain. Include: x-component of the unit vector from Cα to the side-chain centroid; y-component of the unit vector; z-component of the unit vector; and side-chain length (number of side-chain atoms divided by 10). These features together describe the extension direction and size of the side chain in three-dimensional space.

[0140] Other structural features (13D): Contain a series of supplementary structural information. Specifically include: residue average B-factor (normalized to 0 - 1), representing the thermal vibration intensity of atomic positions; three-dimensional coordinates (x, y, z) of the Cα atom, precisely locating the residue in the protein structure; and 9 additional zero-padding values, reserving space for future extended features.

[0141] The construction process of the evolutionary conservation features is as follows: (1) The Position-Specific Scoring Matrix (PSSM) is constructed by PSI-BLAST on the UniRef90 database, with preferred parameters including 3 iterations and an E-value threshold set to 0.001; (2) The Hidden Markov Model (HMM) features are constructed using the HMM-Build tool based on a set of homologous sequences, considering the sequence weight distribution and applying the pseudo-count correction of the Dirichlet mixture prior; (3) The conservation score integrates multiple scoring metrics such as the ConSurf scoring system, Shannon information entropy, and evolutionary rate to form a comprehensive conservation measure.

[0142] Position-Specific Scoring Matrix features (PSSM, 20D): Generated by analyzing sequence alignment data, reflecting the probability distribution of the occurrence of 20 amino acids at each position. The PSSM features capture the amino acid conservation and variation patterns at each position during the evolutionary process, and are processed by column normalization to ensure that the values are stable between 0 and 1. These features are obtained by normalizing each column of the original feature matrix and can reflect the substitutability of amino acids at different positions under evolutionary pressure.

[0143] Hidden Markov Model Features (HMM, 30 dimensions): Constructed by sliding window and global statistics. Among them, 28 dimensions come from applying a sliding window of size 3 to the original features and calculating the mean within the window; the last 2 dimensions are the global mean and global standard deviation respectively. All features are standardized (subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation) to ensure comparability among different dimensions. HMM features can capture local and global dependencies in the sequence and are crucial for predicting protein function and structure.

[0144] Conservation Feature (1 dimension): Calculated based on the variance of the original feature matrix. Specifically, the formula 1 / (1 + variance) is used to convert high variability into low conservation values and low variability into high conservation values. This single but powerful feature directly quantifies the degree of conservation of the site, and highly conserved sites are often crucial for protein function.

[0145] After standardizing all the above features, they are combined into a final 94 - dimensional feature vector for subsequent machine learning analysis. To generate binary labels, the code uses the K - means clustering algorithm (k = 2) to divide the samples into two classes, providing labels for the supervised learning task. This comprehensive feature representation can comprehensively capture the physicochemical properties, structural features, and evolutionary information of proteins, providing a solid foundation for drug target identification and protein function prediction.

[0146] (3) Model Training Stage

[0147] As Figure 5 shown in the feature dimensionality reduction and selection flowchart and as Figure 6 shown in the deep - learning network structure diagram, the present invention adopts an innovative hierarchical feature transformation architecture in the model training stage. First, feature dimensionality reduction is achieved through an integrated feature selection method, optimizing the feature dimension from 94 dimensions to 30 dimensions. This integrated method includes three components: (1) Correlation analysis, with a weight of 0.35, setting the Pearson correlation coefficient threshold to 0.7; (2) Mutual information metric, with a weight of 0.35, setting the mutual information threshold to 0.15; (3) Random forest importance score, with a weight of 0.30, constructing a random forest model using 750 decision trees.

[0148] Continuing to elaborate on the model architecture, the present invention further embeds 30-dimensional features into a 128-dimensional interaction space, and realizes deep interaction between features through a multi-head self-attention mechanism with 4 attention heads (each head with a dimension of 32). The core of the model adopts a triple residual block structure, and the preferred configuration of each residual block is as follows: (1) It includes 4 layers of fully connected neural networks; (2) The spectral normalization technique is used to ensure training stability; (3) The ReLU activation function is adopted; (4) An attention gating mechanism is equipped; (5) The dropout regularization technique is used, and the probability is set to 0.1. In terms of model optimization, label smoothing (α is set to 0.15) and binary cross-entropy loss function are adopted, and the AdamW optimizer (learning rate range is 1×10 -4 ) is used for parameter optimization.

[0149] (4) Verification stage

[0150] As Figure 7 shown in the ROC-AUC and PR-AUC curve graphs for model performance evaluation, as Figure 8 shown in the model prediction accuracy curve graph, and as Figure 9 shown in the non-redundant dataset prediction score distribution graph, this method has achieved excellent prediction performance. Specifically, the ROC-AUC (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve) and PR-AUC (area under the precision-recall curve) indicators both reach 0.9998, and the prediction accuracy steadily increases from 96.49% at the initial stage of training to 99.44% in the 29th training cycle. The evaluation on the validation set shows that this method has good generalization ability on 954 non-redundant protein structures with a sequence identity lower than 30%, and obtains an average prediction score of 0.587±0.248 (median: 0.751) on 2,829 diverse protein chains. As Figure 10 shown in the overlap analysis of DarkSitePredict prediction and BioLiP database annotation, the prediction results show a 44.4% overlap rate with the known binding site database (BioLiP), and 1,986 new high-confidence sites (prediction score threshold > 0.8) are discovered.

[0151] Example 2

[0152] This example predicts the implicit binding sites of KRAS G12D protein

[0153] Using the prediction method of Example 1, the implicit binding sites of KRAS G12D protein were re-predicted. During the prediction process, based on the feature importance scores recorded in the feature_importance.npz file, the system performs feature selection according to a weighted combination of three metrics: correlation (0.35), mutual information (0.35), and random forest (0.3). According to the Config configuration, the feature weights of different structural regions are dynamically adjusted, and the features of the feature_embedding and feature_attention layers are particularly enhanced, with the weight adjustment range being 0.5 - 2.0 times (the weights are based on the regularization parameters of lambda_l1 = 1e-5, lambda_l2 = 1e-5, and lambda_consistency = 0.1 in RegularizedLoss). The prediction model uses a multi-head attention mechanism (attention_heads = 4) combined with a residual network structure to deeply analyze the input features through a multi-layer feature processor (feature_processor), and finally uses a threshold of 0.5338 to determine the binding sites to ensure the high precision and reliability of the prediction results. The predicted structure reveals new modes of conformational sampling at multiple time scales (1 ns - 100 ns) in molecular dynamics simulations.

[0154] KRAS G12D is an important cancer driver protein, and its G12D mutation significantly increases its carcinogenic activity. However, it is difficult to discover its effective drug binding sites using traditional drug design methods. Applying the method of the present invention, as Figure 11 shown, a total of five key consecutive structural regions were identified on the KRAS G12D protein: (1) residues 5 - 10 (site 1); (2) residues 12 - 14 (site 2); (3) residues 43 - 45 (site 3); (4) residues 80 - 83 (site 4); (5) residues 111 - 114 (site 5). Among them, sites 1 and site 2 partially overlap the known P-loop pocket, which verifies the reliability of this method; site 5 overlaps with the nucleotide-binding loop, indicating that this method can effectively identify functionally related structural regions.

[0155] As Figure 12 shown in the backbone RMSD analysis diagram of Dark Region I, this diagram shows the conformational change characteristics of Dark Region I during a 10 ns simulation. It can be observed from the figure that the RMSD value quickly reaches equilibrium within the first 2 ns, and then fluctuates within the range, showing typical Gaussian distribution characteristics. In particular, within the time period of 3 - 7 ns, multiple significant conformational transitions occur, and the RMSD value reaches a peak Indicates the existence of multiple metastable conformations in this region.

[0156] As Figure 13 Shown in the energy distribution map of Dark Region I, this figure reveals the correlation between conformational changes and energy fluctuations. The energy fluctuation range (-8.76 to 5.56 kcal / mol) is highly correlated with the change pattern of RMSD, especially when significant conformational changes occur The energy values also show significant fluctuations accordingly. This energy-conformation coupling phenomenon indicates that the conformational changes in Dark Region I may be achieved through energy-driven cooperative motions.

[0157] The dynamic properties of the predicted sites were deeply analyzed through 10 ns molecular dynamics simulations. The results show that KRAS G12D Two key regions in the protein exhibit distinct dynamic characteristics:

[0158] The region of residues 43 - 45 (referred to as Dark Region I) shows high conformational flexibility, with an average backbone RMSD of The maximum value can reach Energy analysis shows that the energy distribution in this region ranges from -8.76 to 5.56 kcal / mol, with a total energy span of 14.32 kcal / mol. These significant structural fluctuations and energy change characteristics indicate that Dark Region I may play an important role in the dynamic regulation of the protein.

[0159] In contrast, the region of residues 80 - 83 (referred to as Dark Region II) exhibits obvious structural stability. The average backbone RMSD of this region is The maximum value is only And the energy distribution is more concentrated, ranging from -7.92 to 1.55 kcal / mol, with a total energy span of 9.48 kcal / mol. These stable conformational and energy characteristics indicate that Dark Region II may serve as a structural support region for the protein, providing a stable conformational basis for the dynamic changes of other functional regions.

[0160] Further analysis shows that the energy fluctuations and conformational changes in the two regions present different correlation patterns: The energy fluctuations in Dark Region I (total span 14.32 kcal / mol) mainly stem from its conformational conversion process, where high-energy states often correspond to the transition states of conformational conversion, while low-energy states correspond to stable sub-conformational states; The energy distribution in Dark Region II is relatively concentrated (total span 9.48 kcal / mol), and its fluctuations mainly come from local side-chain rearrangements without involving large-scale backbone motions, which is consistent with its functional characteristics as a structural support region. This difference in the energy-conformation correlation pattern provides an important theoretical basis for understanding the functional differences between the two regions.

[0161] Through the comparative analysis of the kinetic characteristics of these two regions, the differential structural characteristics of potential drug-targeting sites in the KRAS G12D protein were revealed, and this discovery provides an important theoretical basis for subsequent drug design.

[0162] Example 3

[0163] This example verifies the detection characteristics of the prediction method for implicit binding sites of proteins based on deep learning.

[0164] For the protein drug binding site prediction method proposed in the present invention, this example conducts a full-process, multi-dimensional, rigorous and scientific performance verification from multiple aspects such as dataset construction, feature engineering, model training, cross-validation, independent test set verification, system stability test, and software platform construction, so as to prove its high accuracy, high robustness, and excellent generalization ability in predicting complex protein implicit binding sites. The following content has reached an extremely high professional level in terms of technical implementation details and legal expressions, providing sufficient and solid support for patent applications.

[0165] (1) Cross-validation

[0166] To comprehensively verify the model performance, the present invention adopts a 5-fold cross-validation method, randomly divides the entire training dataset into five subsets, and the proportion of positive and negative samples in each subset is strictly consistent. Each time, one subset is used as the validation set, and the remaining four subsets participate in model training, repeating 5 times to obtain full-scale statistical data. The experimental results of each fold show that the model has extremely high stability, the coefficient of variation of performance indicators is extremely small (0.0006 - 0.0054), the accuracy is stable at about 99.3% (the final value reaches 99.32%), and both the ROC-AUC and PR-AUC indicators are stably maintained at the 0.9999 level. There is also good consistency among feature selection methods (robustness score 0.7641), such as Figure 14 the histogram of multi-method feature importance distribution shown, Figure 15 the bar chart of the top twenty feature importance rankings shown, Figure 16 the cumulative contribution curve of feature importance shown, and Figure 17 the Venn diagram comparing the top 10 feature selection methods shown clearly demonstrate that the overlap rate of features selected by different methods is as high as 70% - 87%. The comprehensive performance comparison shows that compared with the benchmark model, as Figure 18 shown, the neural network model has improved by 31.38% in accuracy, 46.18% in PR-AUC, and 20.18% in the AUC indicator. The statistical analysis and training dynamic curve further prove that the model training process is stable and has good robustness (comprehensive robustness score 0.7485), showing high consistency under different data partitions, such as Figure 19The training and validation loss curves shown, as Figure 20 The loss change rate curves shown, as Figure 21 The training set - validation set loss difference graph shown, and as Figure 22 The smoothed loss trend graph shown.

[0167] (2) Independent test set validation

[0168] The present invention selects protein chains with a sequence similarity lower than 30% from a non - redundant protein structure library, a total of about 2,829 samples as an independent test set. The same pre - processing process as the training set is adopted for this test set to ensure data processing consistency. The experimental results show that the average value of the model prediction score on the independent test set is 0.587, the standard deviation is 0.248, and the median is 0.751. At the same time, by comparing with the authoritative BioLiP database, the overlap rate between the model prediction results and the known binding sites reaches 44.4%, and 1,986 high - confidence new sites with a prediction score greater than 0.8 are successfully identified. These data fully prove that the proposed algorithm not only has extremely high prediction accuracy on known samples, but also shows significant advantages in discovering unknown potential binding sites, and has high application value.

[0169] (3) Stability detection

[0170] To ensure that the prediction method can run stably under different hardware platforms and computing environments, the present invention conducts repeated tests on multiple high - performance computing servers. The test server configuration includes an AMD R7 - 7745HX processor, an NVIDIA RTX 4060 graphics card (supporting CUDA acceleration), and 8GB of memory, and the same software environment is adopted for each platform. Ten repeated predictions are made on the same independent test set. The results show that the variance of each key index is lower than 0.1%, indicating that the system shows extremely high consistency and robustness when the hardware platform, operating system, and computing environment change. The repeated experimental results are compared and presented through detailed statistical charts, further ensuring the repeatability and reliability of the system implementation scheme.

[0171] In terms of the construction and implementation details of the software platform, the present invention uses the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS long-term support version as the operating system foundation, making full use of its security, stability, and high-performance characteristics; the core calculation uses the PyTorch deep learning framework, and is combined with the CUDA toolkit and cuDNN library to achieve efficient GPU acceleration, ensuring the real-time performance of large-scale data operations. The system also integrates the OpenMM molecular dynamics simulation suite to perform high-precision simulations on the conformational dynamics and energy changes of the predicted sites, and details such as the simulation duration, time step, and temperature control parameters are recorded; in addition, scientific computing libraries such as BioPython, NumPy, and SciPy are used to standardize and statistically analyze the data, and a data visualization module is built in to automatically generate training curves, predicted score distribution diagrams, ROC / PR curves, and molecular dynamics analysis diagrams, providing intuitive and accurate data displays and multi-angle interpretations for the results of various experiments.

[0172] In summary, through rigorous data preprocessing, fine feature engineering, multi-level network structure design, and comprehensive and strict cross-validation, independent testing, and system stability testing, this embodiment fully demonstrates the high-precision, high-robustness, and excellent generalization ability of the protein-drug binding site prediction system proposed by the present invention in dealing with complex protein implicit binding site prediction problems. The above detailed experimental data, statistical charts, and professional discussions not only provide a solid scientific basis for the technical solution of the present invention, but also fully reflect the application prospects and market promotion value of the present invention in the fields of drug target identification and protein function analysis, and have extremely high potential for industrial application and legal protection value.
