DrugGPT
A generative drug design model based on GPT2.
π© Introduction
DrugGPT is a generative pharmaceutical strategy based on GPT structure, which aims to bring innovation to drug design by using natural language processing technique.
This project applies the GPT model to the exploration of chemical space to discover new molecules with potential binding abilities for specific proteins.
DrugGPT provides a fast and efficient method for the generation of drug candidate molecules by training on up to 1.8 million protein-ligand binding data.

π How to use
Required parameters:
-p
|--pro_seq
: Input a protein amino acid sequence.-f
|--fasta
: Input a FASTA file.Only one of -p and -f should be specified.
-l
|--ligand_prompt
: Input a ligand prompt.-e
|--empty_input
: Enable directly generate mode.-n
|--number
: At least how many molecules will be generated.-d
|--device
: Hardware device to use. Default is 'cuda'.-o
|--output
: Output directory for generated molecules. Default is './ligand_output/'.-b
|--batch_size
: How many molecules will be generated per batch. Try to reduce this value if you have low RAM. Default is 32.
π¬ Example usage
If you want to input a protein FASTA file
python drug_generator.py -f bcl2.fasta -n 50
If you want to input the amino acid sequence of the protein
python drug_generator.py -p MAKQPSDVSSECDREGRQLQPAERPPQLRPGAPTSLQTEPQGNPEGNHGGEGDSCPHGSPQGPLAPPASPGPFATRSPLFIFMRRSSLLSRSSSGYFSFDTDRSPAPMSCDKSTQTPSPPCQAFNHYLSAMASMRQAEPADMRPEIWIAQELRRIGDEFNAYYARRVFLNNYQAAEDHPRMVILRLLRYIVRLVWRMH -n 50
If you want to provide a prompt for the ligand
python drug_generator.py -f bcl2.fasta -l COc1ccc(cc1)C(=O) -n 50
Note: If you are running in a Linux environment, you need to enclose the ligand's prompt with single quotes ('').
python drug_generator.py -f bcl2.fasta -l 'COc1ccc(cc1)C(=O)' -n 50
