Popis: Studying the deep learning-based molecular representation has great significance on predicting molecular property, promoted the development of drug screening and new drug discovery, and improving human well-being for avoiding illnesses. It is essential to learn the characterization of drug for various downstream tasks, such as molecular property prediction. In particular, the 3D structure features of molecules play an important role in biochemical function and activity prediction. The 3D characteristics of molecules largely determine the properties of the drug and the binding characteristics of the target. However, most current methods merely rely on 1D or 2D properties while ignoring the 3D topological structure, thereby degrading the performance of molecular inferring. In this paper, we propose 3DMol-Net to enhance the molecular representation, considering both the topology and rotation invariance (RI) of the 3D molecular structure. Specifically, we construct a molecular graph with soft relations related to the spatial arrangement of the 3D coordinates to learn 3D topology of arbitrary graph structure and employ an adaptive graph convolutional network to predict molecular properties and biochemical activities. Comparing with current graph-based methods, 3DMol-Net demonstrates superior performance in terms of both regression and classification tasks. Further verification of RI and visualization also show better robustness and representation capacity of our model.
