Modelling And Predicting Binding Affinity Of Pcp-like Compounds Using Machine Learning Methods

Machine learning methods have been promising tools in science and engineering fields. The use of these methods in chemistry and drug design has advanced after 1990s. In this study, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surfaces of PCP-like compounds are modelled and visualized in order to extract features which will be used in predicting binding affinity. In modelling, Cartesian coordinates of MEP surface points are mapped onto a spherical self-organizing map. Resulting maps are visualized by using values of electrostatic potential. These values also provide features for prediction system. Support vector machines and partial least squares method are used for predicting binding affinity of compounds, and results are compared.
