RAPiDock is presented, an all-atom diffusion model that predicts peptide–protein binding patterns across 92 amino acid types, enabling high-throughput virtual screening for advancing therapeutic peptide design and serve as a powerful tool for high-throughput virtual screening with structural precision.
Abstract Cyclic peptides represent a highly promising class of biopharmaceutical scaffolds. The screening of cyclic peptides against protein targets can be greatly facilitated using computational approaches, especially molecular docking. However, it remains a crucial challenge to accurately predict protein–cyclic pepti...

Accurate prediction of metalloprotein-ligand interactions is critical for metalloprotein-targeted drug discovery. Conventional docking tools and existing deep learning (DL) models fail to reliably capture metal-ligand interactions, hampering the discovery of potent metalloprotein inhibitors. Here, we propose MetalloDoc...
