摘要

Accurately predicting binding affinities between drugs and targets is crucial for drug discovery but remains challenging due to the complexity of modeling interactions between small drug and large targets. This study proposes DMFF-DTA, a dual-modality neural network model integrates sequence and graph structure information from drugs and proteins for drug-target affinity prediction. The model introduces a binding site-focused graph construction approach to extract binding information, enabling more balanced and efficient modeling of drug-target interactions. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate DMFF-DTA outperforms state-of-the-art methods with significant improvements. The model exhibits excellent generalization capabilities on completely unseen drugs and targets, achieving an improvement of over 8% compared to existing methods. Model interpretability analysis validates the biological relevance of the model. A case study in pancreatic cancer drug repurposing demonstrates its practical utility. This work provides an interpretable, robust approach to integrate multi-view drug and protein features for advancing computational drug discovery.
