Many roles of computation in drug discovery Computation can be helpful for discovering new drugs with • better efficiency • lower cost • better affinity to the target • better selectivity • better solubility • better oral availability • better permeability • better bioavailability • better metabolites • no conflict of interests

  20. Characteristics of Biological Complex Problems • The potential energy function is extremely rugged. • The potential energy surface is usually highly asymmetric. • The true global minimum is often surrounded by many deceptive local minima. • The biological complex problems are mostly in the space of high dimensionality.

  21. The Flexible Docking Problem

  22. Thermodynamic Process of Docking

  23. AutoDock Scoring Function J. Comput. Chem. 19: 1639-1662 (1998) • A free energy-based empirical approach.

  24. Searching is Generally a Global Optimization Problem • Usually there is no general solution. • Most heuristics cannot guarantee the optimal solution. • Some of them have been classified as NP-complete or NP-hard problem.

  25. How to explore the phase space?(Or, how to find a needle in a haystack?)---Importance sampling • We should only explore the important region of the phase space, not the entire phase space. • Stochastic methods usually outperform deterministic approaches in higher dimensional space.

  26. Genetic Algorithm • [Start]Generate random population of n chromosomes (suitable solutions for the problem) • [Fitness]Evaluate the fitness f(x) of each chromosome x in the population • [New population]Create a new population by repeating following steps until the new population is complete • [Selection]Select two parent chromosomes from a population according to their fitness (the better fitness, the bigger chance to be selected) • [Crossover]With a crossover probability cross over the parents to form new offspring (children). If no crossover was performed, offspring is the exact copy of parents. • [Mutation]With a mutation probability mutate new offspring at each locus (position in chromosome). • [Accepting]Place new offspring in the new population • [Replace]Use new generated population for a further run of the algorithm • [Test]If the end condition is satisfied, stop, and return the best solution in current population • [Loop]Go to step 2

  27. Chromosomes for Flexible Docking Crossover operation Leach, 2001.

  28. Lamarckian Genetic Algorithm • LGA is a hybrid of the Genetic Algorithm with the adaptive local search method. • As in the GA scheme, energy is regarded as the phenotype, and the compound conformation and location are regarded as the genotype. • In the LGA scheme, phenotype is modified by the local searcher, and then the genotype is modified by the locally optimized phenotype. • In AutoDock, the so-called Solis-Wet algorithm is used (basically energy-based random move).

  29. The Rank-based Adaptive Mutation Evolutionary Algorithm Nucleic Acids Research 33: W233-W238 (2005) • n individuals, denoted bys1, s2, …, sn,are generated. Each si is a vector corresponding to a point in the domain of the objective function f . In order to achieve a scale-free representation,each component of si is linearly mapped to the numerical range of [0,1]. • The individuals in each generation of population are then sorted in the ascending order based on the values of the energy function on evaluated on these individuals. Let t1, t2, … tn denote the ordered individuals and we have f(t1)<f(t2)<f(tn). • nGaussian distributions, denoted by G1, G2, … Gn, are generated before the new generation of population is created. The center of each Gaussian distribution is selected randomly and independently from t1,t2, … tn, where the probability is not uniform but instead follows a discrete diminishing distribution, n : n-1 : … : 1.

  30. The RAME Algorithm

  31. LGA versus RAME

  33. Randomized Benchmark Functions m: dimensionality

  34. Performance of LGA vs. ME for a Random Benchmark Function Probability of finding the global minima Number of runs

  35. Summary for the RAME Algorithm • Our new RAME algorithm can find out the global minima for complex potential functions below dimensionality of 30 with substantial finite probability, which is suitable for most docking applications. • The RAME algorithm avoids the “purification” effect inherent in the genetic algorithm and its derivatives, and therefore reduce the over-compression of information in the searching process.
