RosettaAMRLD: A Reaction-Driven Approach for Structure-Based Drug Design from Combinatorial Libraries with Monte Carlo Metropolis Algorithms
Bibliographic record
Abstract
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide The Rosetta automated Monte Carlo reaction-based ligand design (RosettaAMRLD) integrates a Monte Carlo Metropolis (MCM) algorithm and reaction-driven molecule proposal to enhance structure-based de novo drug discovery. By leveraging combinatorial ultralarge libraries, RosettaAMRLD ensures synthetic accessibility, optimizing protein–ligand interactions while efficiently sampling accessible chemical space. Importantly, RosettaAMRLD can be initiated without a known binder, broadening its applicability to novel pharmaceutical targets. We applied RosettaAMRLD to three protein classes typically targeted by drugs, demonstrating its ability to generate novel, synthetically accessible ligands with active-like binding poses. Benchmark results show that RosettaAMRLD can propose diverse ligands with significantly improved docking scores compared to random sampling, and multiround iteration further enhances output quality, resulting in molecules with in silico properties exceeding those of known actives. The method’s capability to explore ultralarge chemical spaces and generate novel drug-like molecules highlights its potential in early stage drug discovery.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
