Assessing Interaction Recovery of Predicted Protein-Ligand Poses

Abstract

The field of protein-ligand pose prediction has seen significant advances in recent years, with machine learning-based methods now being commonly used in lieu of classical docking methods or even to predict all-atom protein-ligand complex structures. Most contemporary studies focus on the accuracy and physical plausibility of ligand placement to determine pose quality, often neglecting a direct assessment of the interactions observed with the protein. In this work, we demonstrate that ignoring protein-ligand interaction fingerprints can lead to overestimation of model performance, most notably in recent protein-ligand cofolding models which often fail to recapitulate key interactions.
