Drug Candidate Discovery

This skill uses the OpenBioMed repository to generate diverse druggable molecules for a given target or disease. It orchestrates a complete drug discovery workflow from target identification to candidate evaluation.

CRITICAL REQUIREMENTS

You MUST execute code to produce actual outputs. Writing scripts without running them is NOT acceptable.

Required outputs that MUST be created:

SDF files containing 3D molecular structures
Visualization files (PNG images of molecules and complexes)
Comprehensive markdown report

After writing any script, you MUST run it using the Bash tool to generate the actual outputs.

Inputs

The user should provide:

target_or_disease (required): Name of the target protein or disease (e.g., "BTK", "Alzheimer's disease", "KRAS G12C")
num_candidates (optional, default=5): Number of desired candidate molecules
property_constraints (optional): Desired molecular properties as a dictionary:
- logp_min, logp_max: LogP range (e.g., -1 to 3)
- qed_min: Minimum QED score (e.g., 0.5)
- vina_max: Maximum Vina docking score in kcal/mol (e.g., -8)
- sa_min: Minimum synthetic accessibility score (e.g., 0.5)
device (optional, default="cuda:0"): GPU device for running models
model_ckpt (optional, default="./checkpoints/molcraft/last_updated.ckpt"): Path to MolCraft checkpoint
max_attempts (optional, default=100): Maximum generation/optimization cycles

Workflow Overview

Phase 1: Target Identification & Research

CRITICAL: You MUST search web databases to find PDB structures with bound ligands. Do NOT use hardcoded PDB IDs.

Web Search for Target Information
- Use WebSearch tool to search for: "{target_name} protein drug target UniProt PDB structure"
- Identify the UniProt ID for the target protein
- Find known inhibitors/drugs and their PDB co-crystal structures
Query UniProt for Protein Metadata
- Use UniProtRequester tool with the UniProt ID
- Extract: protein name, gene name, organism, disease associations
Find PDB Structures with Ligands
- Use web search: "{target_name} PDB structure inhibitor ligand co-crystal"
- Search RCSB PDB API: https://search.rcsb.org/rcsbsearch/v2/query
- Prioritize structures with:
  - Small molecule ligands (not just ions/waters)
  - High resolution (< 3.0 Å)
  - Known drug/inhibitor complexes
Extract UniProt ID from PDB (if starting from PDB)
- Use PDBRequester with mode="metadata" to get PDB entry info
- Cross-reference UniProt ID from the structure

Phase 2: Structure Retrieval & Validation

Download PDB Structure
- Use PDBRequester tool with mode="file_only" to download the PDB file
- Save to ./tmp/{pdb_id}.pdb
Extract Protein and Ligands
- Use ExtractAllMoleculesFromPDB tool on the downloaded PDB file
- This returns: protein chains, ligands, and ions separately
- Identify the reference ligand (drug/inhibitor molecule)
Validate Binding Site
- Ensure at least one ligand molecule was extracted
- If no ligands found, try another PDB structure or notify user

Phase 3: Molecule Generation & Optimization

Define Binding Pocket
- Use Pocket.from_protein_ref_ligand(protein, ligand, radius=10.0)
- The pocket defines the 3D region for molecule generation
Generate Molecules
- If MolCraft checkpoint available: Use InferencePipeline with task="structure_based_drug_design"
- Otherwise: Use scaffold-based generation with modifications
Evaluate Properties
- Calculate QED, LogP, SA score using molecule methods
- Filter candidates meeting property constraints

Phase 4: Results & Reporting

Save candidate molecules as SDF files
Generate visualizations (2D structures, protein-ligand complexes)
Compile comprehensive markdown report with target research
VALIDATE that all outputs were created successfully

COMPLETE WORKFLOW SCRIPT

IMPORTANT: Write this complete script to a file, then EXECUTE it with the Bash tool.

Create a file drug_discovery_workflow.py in your output directory:

#!/usr/bin/env python
"""
Complete Drug Candidate Discovery Workflow
This script MUST be executed to generate actual outputs.

IMPORTANT: This workflow searches web databases for PDB structures with bound ligands.
It does NOT use hardcoded PDB IDs.

Execution Steps

Step 1: Create Output Directory

mkdir -p ./outputs/drug_discovery_results
mkdir -p ./outputs/drug_discovery_results/visualizations

Step 2: Write and Execute the Workflow Script

CRITICAL: After writing the Python script to a file, you MUST execute it:

cd /home/luoyz/projects/OpenBioMed/OpenBioMed_dev
python outputs/drug_discovery_results/drug_discovery_workflow.py

The script will:

Search web databases for target information
Query UniProt for protein metadata
Search RCSB PDB for structures with bound ligands
Download and parse PDB files
Extract protein and ligand molecules
Generate candidate molecules
Calculate molecular properties
Save all outputs

Step 3: Verify Outputs Were Created

After execution, verify the outputs exist:

ls -la ./outputs/drug_discovery_results/
ls -la ./outputs/drug_discovery_results/visualizations/

If outputs are missing, debug and re-run until they are created.

Alternative: Simplified Workflow (No ML Models)

If MolCraft checkpoint is unavailable, use this simplified workflow that still searches databases and produces valid outputs:

Output Structure

The skill MUST produce the following outputs:

outputs/drug_discovery_results/
├── candidate_1.sdf          # REQUIRED: 3D molecular structure with properties
├── candidate_2.sdf          # REQUIRED
├── candidate_3.sdf          # REQUIRED
├── visualizations/
│   ├── candidate_1_2d.png   # REQUIRED: 2D structure image
│   ├── candidate_2_2d.png   # REQUIRED
│   └── candidate_3_2d.png   # REQUIRED
└── report.md                # REQUIRED: Comprehensive report with target info from web search

Validation Checklist

Before reporting completion, verify:

At least 1 SDF file exists in outputs directory
At least 1 PNG visualization exists in visualizations directory
report.md exists and contains:
- Target introduction with UniProt ID (from web search)
- PDB structure information (from database search)
- Methods section describing the workflow
- Results table with molecular properties
All files have non-zero size

If any validation fails, debug and re-execute until it passes.
