| - 2 GB disk space |
| - ~30 seconds per screening (200 drugs × 10 targets) |
|
|

| - NVIDIA GPU with CUDA 12.0+ |
| - 16+ GB GPU VRAM |
| - 4 GB disk space |
| - ~5 seconds per screening (600 drugs × 10 targets) |
|

| - NVIDIA H100 (80GB VRAM) |
|

|
|
| ## 🔧 Dependency Installation |
|
|
| ### Automatic (Recommended) |
| ```bash |
| # Windows |
| start.bat |
| |
| # Linux/Mac |
| ./start.sh |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### Manual Installation |
|
|
| #### 1. Base Dependencies |
| ```bash |
| pip install -r requirements.txt |
| ``` |
|
|
| #### 2. DeepPurpose (AI Model) - RECOMMENDED |
| ```bash |
| pip install git+https://github.com/kexinhuang12345/DeepPurpose.git |
| ``` |
|
|
| Without this, the API will use mock predictions instead of real ones. |
|
|
| #### 3. TDC (Drug Data) - RECOMMENDED |
| ```bash |
| # Option A: From GitHub |
| pip install git+https://github.com/Alantic/TDC.git |
| |
| # Option B: Via conda |
| conda install -c conda-forge pytdc |
| ``` |
|
|
| Without this, the API will use the local fallback with 40+ FDA-approved drugs. |
|
|
| #### 4. GPU Support (Optional but recommended) |
| ```bash |
| # For NVIDIA GPU (CUDA 12.1) |
| pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121 |
| ``` |
|
|
| Without this, the API runs fine on CPU (just slower). |
|

|
|
| ## 📈 Performance Tuning |
|
|
| ### Configuration File: `app/config.py` |
|
|
| Key settings: |
|
|
| ```python |
| # GPU detection (auto-detects) |
| HAS_GPU = torch.cuda.is_available() # Auto-set |
| |
| # Max drugs for screening (based on availability) |
| # GPU: 600 drugs (2-3 minutes) |
| # CPU: 200 drugs (5-10 minutes) |
| MAX_DRUGS_FOR_DEMO = _get_max_drugs(HAS_GPU) |
| |
| # Batch size for predictions |
| BATCH_SIZE = 32 if HAS_GPU else 8 |
| |
| # Model to use (always MPNN_CNN_BindingDB for production) |
| DEEP_PURPOSE_MODEL = "MPNN_CNN_BindingDB" |
| |
| # TDC Dataset to use |
| TDC_DATASET = "Half_Life_Obach" # 234 drugs |
| |
| # Max targets to use |
| MAX_TARGETS = 50 |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### Optimization Tips |
|
|
| 1. **Increase speed**: Reduce `top_n_targets` (e.g., use 5-10 instead of 50) |
| 2. **Increase accuracy**: Increase `top_n_targets` (e.g., use 30-40) |
| 3. **With GPU**: Can process 600+ drugs, 30+ targets |
| 4. **On CPU**: Keep to 200 drugs, 10-20 targets for reasonable runtime |
|

|
|
| ## 🐛 Troubleshooting |
|
|
| ### API won't start |
|
|
| **Error**: `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'DeepPurpose'` |
|
|
| **Solution**: Install DeepPurpose |
| ```bash |
| pip install git+https://github.com/kexinhuang12345/DeepPurpose.git |
| ``` |
|
|
| The API will still start and run with mock predictions, but real AI is essential for production. |
|
|
| ### Slow predictions |
|
|
| **Check 1**: Are you using GPU? |
| ```bash |
| curl http://localhost:8000/api/v1/model-status |
| # Look for "device": "cuda" or "device": "cpu" |
| ``` |
|
|
| **Check 2**: GPU not being used despite having one? |
| - Ensure PyTorch CUDA version matches your NVIDIA driver |
| - Run: `python -c "import torch; print(torch.cuda.is_available())"` |
| - Should return `True` |
|
|
| ### Out of memory errors |
|
|
| **If GPU error**: Reduce `MAX_DRUGS_FOR_DEMO` in config.py |
| ```python |
| MAX_DRUGS_FOR_DEMO = 300 # Instead of 600 |
| ``` |
|
|
| **If CPU error**: Reduce both drugs and targets |
| ```python |
| MAX_DRUGS_FOR_DEMO = 100 # Instead of 200 |
| MAX_TARGETS = 5 # Instead of 50 |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### Disease not found |
|
|
| **Check**: OpenTargets API is working |
| ```bash |
| curl -X POST "https://api.platform.opentargets.org/api/v4/graphql" \ |
| -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ |
| -d '{"query":"query{search(queryString:\"Diabetes\", entityNames:[\"disease\"]){hits{id name}}}"}' |
| ``` |
|
|
| **Workaround**: Try exact disease name or use disease ID directly |
|
|
| ### No drugs loaded |
|
|
| **Check**: TDC is available |
| ```bash |
| python -c "from tdc.single_pred import ADME; print(ADME('Half_Life_Obach').get_data())" |
| ``` |
|
|
| **Fallback**: System uses local_tdc.py with 40+ FDA-approved drugs automatically |
| |

| |
| ## 📚 Understanding Results |
| |
| ### Score Interpretation |
| |
| All predictions are normalized to 0.0 - 1.0 range: |
| |
| - **0.0 - 0.3**: Very weak or no binding |
| - **0.3 - 0.5**: Weak binding |
| - **0.5 - 0.7**: Moderate binding (bioactive) |
| - **0.7 - 0.9**: Strong binding (likely to work) |
| - **0.9 - 1.0**: Very strong binding (high confidence) |
| |
| ### Result Types |
| |
| 1. **Known Treatment** (✅) |
| - Drug already approved for this disease |
| - Useful for validation and benchmarking |
| |
| 2. **Potential Discovery** (🆕) |
| - Drug not yet in approved list |
| - Candidate for further investigation |
