MolAS is a learning-based framework that predicts, for each protein–ligand pair, which docking or pose-generation method is most likely to succeed.
This repository contains the full training, evaluation, and analysis code used in the accompanying paper *Molecular Embedding–Based Algorithm Selection in Protein–Ligand Docking*.

## **Installation**
Create a new environment and install PyTorch **separately**.
```bash
# 1) Create env
conda env create -f environment.yaml
conda activate as_dock
# 2) Install PyTorch (choose a CUDA build)
pip install --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu124 \
torch torchvision torchaudio
# 3) Install remaining dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
---
## **Data Preparation**
Download the processed MolAS dataset and trained checkpoints from:
**Zenodo: https://zenodo.org/records/17760688**
Then update the `data_path` variables in `data/dataset.py`.
### **Expected directory structure**
```

│ └── pyg_graph_{pdbid}_{ligandid}_esmc_600m.pt

├── ligand_chemberta.pt
│
├── {benchmark}_pb_ratio.csv # PoseBusters validity (per-algorithm)
└── {benchmark}_rmsd.csv # RMSD targets (per-algorithm)
```
### Notes on checkpoints
Log folder of checkpoints (named `lightning_logs`) should be placed inside the repository root, **parallel** to this README.md.
---
## **Quick Start**
### **5-Fold and Multi-GPU Training**
Use the preset runner:
```bash
bash main.sh
```
Configure:
* `benchmark` (e.g., `posex_self_docking`, `posex_cross_docking`, `astex_posex`, `moad`, `posebusters`)
* `relaxation` (`both | true | false`)
* `incl_columns` (algorithm list; ensure count matches `--num_classes`)
* `devices` (e.g., `"0,1,2,3"` for torchrun)
* `test=1` to run test-only mode and export reports
* `version=0` to set the initial version of the 5-version bundle for testing
#### **Version Directory**
To reproduce the results using the Zenodo-released checkpoints, set `version` according to the target benchmark and post-processing mode. Each entry refers to a contiguous 5-checkpoint bundle (`version`–`version+4`).
| Benchmark | Post-process | `version` | Version bundle |
| ------------- | ------------------- | --------- | -------------- |
| MOAD-curated | — | 5 | 5–9 |
| PoseX + Astex | Mixed | 219 | 219–223 |
| PoseX-SD | Mixed | 5 | 5–9 |
| PoseX-CD | Mixed | 5 | 5–9 |
| PoseBusters | Mixed | 20 | 20–24 |
| PoseX + Astex | No | 209 | 209–213 |
| PoseX + Astex | Relaxation | 214 | 214–218 |
| PoseX-SD | No | 10 | 10–14 |
| PoseX-SD | Relaxation | 30 | 30–34 |
| PoseX-CD | No | 30 | 30–34 |
| PoseX-CD | Relaxation | 25 | 25–29 |
| PoseBusters | No | 10 | 10–14 |
| PoseBusters | Energy minimisation | 15 | 15–19 |
### **Single-GPU Example**
```bash
python main.py \
--benchmark posex_self_docking \
--batch_size 16 \
--lr 1e-3 \
--max_epochs 100 \
--devices 0 \
--model MolAS \
--num_node_features 1152 \
--num_classes 24 \
--incl_columns surfdock unimol diffdock diffdock_l gnina autodock glide alphafold3 moe dynamicbind rfaa fabind equibind boltz1x tankbind neuralplexer chai deepdock boltz ifd protenix diffdock_pocket DS interformer
```
### **Testing With a Checkpoint**
```bash
python main.py \
--benchmark posex_self_docking \
--devices 0 \
--model MolAS \
--num_node_features 1152 \
--num_classes 24 \
--incl_columns <algorithm list> \
--test \
--ckpt_path path/to/checkpoint.ckpt
```

## **Important Arguments**
* `--model`
`MolAS` (default) or multi-GNN variants (e.g., `MolAS_GCN_GAT_GINE`, `MolAS_EGNN_GAT_GINE`, `MolASGT`).
Multi-GNN variants require node features and adjacency consistent with provided graphs.
* `--incl_columns`
Space-separated algorithm names. Must match `--num_classes`.
* `--use_ndcg_loss`, `--ndcg_loss_weight`, `--ndcg_k`
Enable LambdaNDCG ranking loss.
* `--use_logistic_loss`, `--logistic_loss_weight`
Pairwise logistic ranking objective.
* `--k_folds`, `--fold_num`
Enable K-fold cross-validation.
* `--log_root`, `--log_name`, `--log_version`
Control Lightning logging layout.
