Background: In the face of a growing disparity between high-throughput sequence data and low-throughput experimental studies, the emerging field of deep learning stands as a promising alternative. Generally, many data-driven approaches are capable of facilitating fast and accurate predictions of protein functions. Nevertheless, the inherent statistical nature of deep learning techniques may limit their generalization capabilities when applied to novel nonhomologous proteins that diverge significantly from existing ones.

Conventional docking approaches perform well in redocking tasks with known protein binding pocket conformation in the complex state. However, in real-world docking scenario without knowing the protein binding conformation for a new ligand, accurately modeling the binding complex structure remains challenging as flexible docking is computationally expensive and inaccurate.

However, existing structure-based drug target protein-identification algorithms are limited by the insufficient number of proteins with experimentally resolved structures. Moreover, sequence-based algorithms cannot effectively extract information from protein sequences and thus display insufficient accuracy.
