Predicting the location of coordinated metal ion-ligand binding sites using geometry-aware graph neural networks

Published in Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2024

A novel structure-based method that transforms the 3-dimensional structure of a protein into a point cloud representation and then designs a geometry-aware graph neural network to learn the local structural properties of each amino acid residue under specific ligand-binding supervision.
