About this paper

Rakesh Bal, Yijia Xiao, Wei Wang

PGraphDTA replaces GraphDTA’s protein-sequence CNN with pretrained protein-language representations while retaining a graph representation of the drug. A second variant adds predicted protein contacts as structural context. On DAVIS, PGraphDTA with SeqVec achieves MSE 0.221 versus 0.271 for a reimplemented GraphDTA baseline. However, contact-map benefits are limited to some DAVIS variants and do not establish generalization or reduced costs.
