About the NR-Predictor

A comprehensive deep learning framework for nuclear receptor ligand binding prediction and functional classification.

Model Framework

NR Predictor Framework Architecture

Architecture Overview

  • Module A: 12 single-task ML models using molecular fingerprints and descriptors for individual NR target predictions.
  • Module B: Message-passing neural network with molecule-level attention mechanism for graph-based molecular representation learning.
  • Module C: Meta-learner with task-specific attention that combines outputs from Modules A and B for final binding prediction.
  • Module D: Functional classifier integrating molecular descriptors with Vina-derived interaction features for downstream functional classification.
  • Attention Mechanism: K-layer GRU-based attention with super node aggregation for interpretable predictions.
