Is it time for artificial intelligence to predict the function of natural products based on 2D-structure

Currently, there is no established technique that allows the function of a compound produced by nature to be predicted by looking at its 2-dimensional chemical structure.

Comparing atom-based with residue-based descriptors in predicting binding site similarity: do backbone atoms matter?

Aim: We question the level of detail required in protein 3D-representation to detect site similarity which is relevant for polypharmacology prediction.
