Abstract :

Large corpora of kinase small molecule inhibitor data are accessible to pubic sector research from thousands of journal article and patent publications. These data are generated employing a wide variety of assay methodologies and experimental procedures by numerous laboratories. We accessed this data of over 500,000 molecules from the Kinase Knowledge Base (KKB) and after rigorous aggregation and standardization generated over 180 diverse datasets covering all major groups of the human Kinome. To investigate how the data could be used to generate predictive models, which modeling technique(s) were best suited and applicable for virtual screening, and which characteristics of datasets were associated with the best predictors, we generated hundreds of classification and regression models. Their rigorous cross-validation and characterization demonstrated highly predictive classification and quantitative models for the majority of kinase targets if a minimum required number of active compounds or structure-activity data points, respectively, were available. Our results indicated that the publically accessible data are exceedingly valuable and well suited to develop highly accurate predictors employing different machine learning techniques with the potential for practical applications of virtual screening across the kinome.
