Evaluation of the Wilma-SIE Virtual Screening Method in Community Structure–Activity Resource 2013 and 2014 Blind Challenges
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Prospective assessments of the Wilma-SIE (solvated interaction energy) platform for ligand docking and ranking were performed during the 2013 and 2014 editions of the Community Structure-Activity Resource (CSAR) blind challenge. Diverse targets like a steroid-binding protein, a serine protease (factor Xa), a tyrosine kinase (Syk), and a nucleotide methyltransferase (TrmD) were included. Pose selection was achieved with high precision; in all 24 tests Wilma-SIE top-ranked the native pose among carefully generated sets of decoy conformations. Good separation for the native pose was also observed indicating robustness in pose scoring. Cross-docking was also accomplished with high accuracy for the various systems, with ligand median-RMSD values around 1 Å from the crystal structures. Larger deviations were occasionally obtained due to the rigid-target approach even if multiple target structures were used. Affinity ranking of congeneric ligands after cross-docking was reasonable for three of the four systems, with Spearman ranking coefficients around 0.6. Poor affinity ranking for FXa is possibly due to missing structural domains, which are present during measurements. Assignment of protonation states is critical for affinity scoring with the SIE function, as shown here for the Syk system. Including the FiSH model improved cross-docking but worsened affinity predictions, pointing to the need for further fine-tuning of this newer solvation model. The consistently strong performance of the Wilma-SIE platform in recent CSAR and SAMPL blind challenges validates its applicability for virtual screening on a broad range of molecular targets.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
