abstract
MOTIVATION: Target discovery is crucial in drug development, especially for complex chronic diseases. Recent advances in high-throughput technologies and the explosion of biomedical data have highlighted the potential of computational druggability prediction methods. However, most current methods rely on sequence-based features with machine learning, which often face challenges related to hand-crafted features, reproducibility, and accessibility. Moreover, the potential of raw sequence and protein structure has not been fully investigated. RESULTS: Here, we leveraged both protein sequence and structure using deep learning techniques, revealing that protein sequence, especially pre-trained embeddings, is more informative than protein structure. Next, we developed DrugTar, a high-performance deep learning algorithm integrating sequence embeddings from the ESM-2 pre-trained protein language model with gene ontologies to predict druggability. DrugTar achieved areas under the curve and precision-recall curve values of 0.94, outperforming state-of-the-art methods. In conclusion, DrugTar streamlines target discovery as a bottleneck in developing novel therapeutics. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: DrugTar is available as a web server at www.DrugTar.com. The data and source code are at https://github.com/NBorhani/DrugTar.
