Equivariant 3D Conditional Diffusion Model for Molecular Linker Design

Equivariant 3D Conditional Diffusion Model for Molecular Linker Design

From early drug discovery researchers face a daunting challenge – to find drug-like candidate molecules among approximately 10^60 possible molecular structures. One successful solution is to start from smaller “fragment” molecules, a strategy known as fragment-based drug design (FBDD). In the FBDD process, the first step is to computationally scree...
