DrugGen: AI-Powered Drug Discovery Through Target-Specific Molecule Generation

DrugGen: Accelerating Drug Discovery with AI Language Models DrugGen Workflow Diagram Why Intelligent Drug Design Tools Matter Pharmaceutical R&D typically requires 12-15 years and $2.6 billion per approved drug. Traditional methods screen chemical compounds through exhaustive lab experiments—akin to finding a needle in a haystack. DrugGen revolutionizes this process by generating drug-like molecular structures from protein targets, potentially accelerating early-stage discovery by orders of magnitude. 1. Core Capabilities of DrugGen 1.1 Molecular Generator Input: Protein sequences (direct input) or UniProt IDs (auto-retrieved sequences) Output: Drug-like SMILES structures Throughput: Generates 10-100 candidate structures per batch Accuracy: Dual validation ensures chemical validity …
