CombiMOTS: AI Framework for Dual-Target Molecule Generation
A new AI framework called CombiMOTS, developed by researchers, uses Pareto Monte Carlo Tree Search to generate dual-target molecules. It addresses two key challenges in drug discovery: capturing trade-offs between target engagement and molecular properties, and integrating synthetic planning into the generative process. The method explores a synthesizable fragment space to produce compounds capable of interacting with two proteins simultaneously, potentially improving therapeutic efficiency and safety.
