Professor Michael Bronstein @mmbronstein.bsky.social and researchers from EPFL have used AI to predict ‘neosurfaces’ that form when drugs bind to proteins. This breakthrough could accelerate precision medicine by using molecular glues to influence protein behaviour. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A geometric deep learning tool by Marchand et al. designs protein binders on small-molecule “neosurfaces,” yielding switchable interactions. Validated on three drug-bound proteins, it unlocks new ways to regulate protein function, paving the way for future therapies. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Molecular recognition events between proteins drive biological processes in living systems1. However, higher levels of mechanistic regulation have emerged, in which protein–protein interactions are conditioned to small molecules2–5. Despite recent advances, computational tools for the design of new chemically induced protein interactions have remained a challenging task for the field6,7. Here we present a computational strategy for the design of proteins that target neosurfaces, that is, surfaces arising from protein–ligand complexes. To develop this strategy, we leveraged a geometric deep learning approach based on learned molecular surface representations8,9 and experimentally validated binders against three drug-bound protein complexes: Bcl2–venetoclax, DB3–progesterone and PDF1–actinonin. All binders demonstrated high affinities and accurate specificities, as assessed by mutational and structural characterization. Remarkably, surface fingerprints previously trained only on proteins

Marchand et al. use deep learning to target “neosurfaces,” where a small molecule reshapes a protein’s binding region. The approach recovers correct partners ~70% of the time, with up to 12% interface area from the ligand boosting predicted binding energies by ~28%. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Compared to the preprint (biorxiv.org/content/10.1...), we added an optimised design pipeline using AlphaFold and LigandMPNN, and super cool tumour cell killing results from Maddalena.

This is very cool, as the other study I have posted before.

The speed of these applications are making us, non-Ai-powered scientists, and our methods obsolete.

Is the future leading to mostly black-box-driven discoveries?

Is "understanding" still our target?
