Accurate prediction of drug-target binding affinity is essential in the early stages of drug discovery.  
This is an example of finetuning ibm/biomed.omics.bl.sm-ted-400 the task.  
Prediction of binding affinities using pKd, the negative logarithm of the dissociation constant, which reflects the strength of the interaction between a small molecule (drug) and a protein (target).  
The expected inputs for the model are the amino acid sequence of the target and the SMILES representation of the drug.  

The benchmark used for fine-tuning defined on: `https://tdcommons.ai/multi_pred_tasks/dti/`  
We also harmonize the values using data.harmonize_affinities(mode = 'max_affinity') and transforming to log-scale.  
By default, we are using Drug+Target cold-split, as provided by tdcommons.

## Usage

Using `ibm/biomed.omics.bl.sm.ma-ted-400m` requires installing [https://github.com/BiomedSciAI/biomed-multi-alignment](https://github.com/TBD)

```
pip install git+https://github.com/BiomedSciAI/biomed-multi-alignment.git
```

A simple example for a task already supported by `ibm/biomed.omics.bl.sm.ma-ted-400m`:
```python


# Load Model
model = Mammal.from_pretrained("ibm/biomed.omics.bl.sm.ma-ted-400m.dti_bindingdb_pkd")

# Load Tokenizer
tokenizer_op = ModularTokenizerOp.from_pretrained("ibm/biomed.omics.bl.sm.ma-ted-400m.dti_bindingdb_pkd")

# convert to MAMMAL style
sample_dict = {"target_seq": target_seq, "drug_seq": drug_seq}
sample_dict = DtiBindingdbKdTask.data_preprocessing(
    sample_dict=sample_dict,
    tokenizer_op=tokenizer_op,
    target_sequence_key="target_seq",
    drug_sequence_key="drug_seq",
    norm_y_mean=None,
    norm_y_std=None,
    device=nn_model.device,
)

# forward pass - encoder_only mode which supports scalars predictions
batch_dict = nn_model.forward_encoder_only([sample_dict])

# Post-process the model's output
batch_dict = DtiBindingdbKdTask.process_model_output(
    batch_dict,
    scalars_preds_processed_key="model.out.dti_bindingdb_kd",
    norm_y_mean=norm_y_mean,
    norm_y_std=norm_y_std,
)
ans = {
    "model.out.dti_bindingdb_kd": float(batch_dict["model.out.dti_bindingdb_kd"][0])
}

# Print prediction
print(f"{ans=}")
```
