Real-World Assessment of Machine-Learned Docking Using Bioassay-Derived Benchmarks.

This work systematically evaluates the performance of a popular ML-based docking method, DiffDock-Pocket, on high-throughput screening (HTS) data sets derived from the PubChem BioAssay database, a premier source of bioactivity data.

Modeling the Sensitivity of Large-Scale Virtual Screening to Scoring Function Accuracy, Artifacts, and Library Composition

A quantitative framework for understanding how docking performance responds to methodological improvements has been lacking is developed by modeling large-scale experiments from three previously published docking campaigns, providing an objective basis for benchmarking and comparing virtual screening approaches.

Topological deep learning for drug–target interaction, virtual screening, and docking scoring: a practical, benchmark-driven review

A decision-oriented taxonomy and a benchmark-driven evaluation playbook that specifies minimum standards for splits, metrics, baselines, and ablations to isolate the topological contribution are presented.

PETA:Parameter-Efficient Test-Time Adaptation for Virtual Screening

This work forms the specialization of pretrained virtual screening models to individual pockets as a test-time adaptation problem and proposes PETA, a parameter-efficient framework that directly adapts pretrained model at test time and outperforms both pretrained and fully retrained baselines while updating only the LayerNorm parameters.

BoltzMol-1: Towards Reliable Virtual Screening for Fast and Cost-Effective Hit Discovery

This work establishes a practical framework for low-throughput, cost-constrained discovery campaigns capable of delivering chemically tractable binders with favorable property profiles, and introduces a suite of ADMET models for kinetic solubility, lipophilicity, and Caco-2 permeability to improve developability at the point of selection.

Evaluating BioEmu-Generated Kinase Ensembles Reveals Structure Selection as the Virtual Screening Bottleneck.

It is shown that prospective structure selection, rather than structure generation, represents the primary bottleneck in ensemble-based VS, highlighting an urgent need for novel structural descriptors to identify high-performing conformations.
