Drug Screening and Molecular Docking Workflow

Usage

1. MCP Server Definition

import json
from mcp.client.streamable_http import streamablehttp_client
from mcp import ClientSession

class DrugSDAClient:
    def __init__(self, server_url: str):
        self.server_url = server_url
        self.session = None

    async def connect(self):
        print(f"server url: {self.server_url}")
        try:
            self.transport = streamablehttp_client(
                url=self.server_url,
                headers={"SCP-HUB-API-KEY": "<your-api-key>"}
            )

2. Drug Screening and Docking Workflow

This workflow screens candidate molecules using drug-likeness and ADMET criteria, then performs molecular docking with a target protein to identify promising drug candidates.

Workflow Steps:

1. Calculate QED Scores - Assess drug-likeness using Quantitative Estimate of Drug-likeness
2. Predict ADMET Properties - Calculate LD50 toxicity prediction
3. Filter Molecules - Apply criteria (QED ≥ 0.6 and LD50 ≥ 3.0)
4. Retrieve Protein Structure - Download target protein from RCSB PDB
5. Extract Main Chain - Isolate primary protein chain
6. Fix Protein Structure - Repair PDB file using PDBFixer
7. Identify Binding Pocket - Locate binding site using Fpocket
8. Convert Ligand Format - Convert SMILES to PDBQT format
9. Convert Protein Format - Convert protein PDB to PDBQT
10. Perform Molecular Docking - Dock ligands and calculate binding affinity
11. Filter by Affinity - Select molecules with affinity ≤ -7.0 kcal/mol

Implementation:

## Initialize clients for both Tool and Model servers
tool_client = DrugSDAClient("https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/2/DrugSDA-Tool")
model_client = DrugSDAClient("https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/3/DrugSDA-Model")

if not await tool_client.connect() or not await model_client.connect():
    print("connection failed")
    return

## Input: List of candidate SMILES strings
smiles_list = ['O=C(Nc1cccc2c1CCCC2)N1CCc2c([nH]c3ccccc23)C1c1cccc(F)c1F', ...]

## Step 1: Calculate QED scores
result = await tool_client.session.call_tool(
    "calculate_mol_drug_chemistry",
    arguments={"smiles_list": smiles_list}
)
QED_result = tool_client.parse_result(result)["metrics"]

## Step 2: Predict ADMET properties (LD50)
result = await model_client.session.call_tool(
    "pred_molecule_admet",
    arguments={"smiles_list": smiles_list}
)
LD50_result = model_client.parse_result(result)["admet_preds"]

## Step 3: Filter molecules by QED and LD50 criteria
select_smiles_list = []
for i in range(len(smiles_list)):
    QED = QED_result[i]["qed"]
    LD50 = LD50_result[i]["LD50_Zhu"]
    if QED >= 0.6 and LD50 >= 3.0:
        select_smiles_list.append(smiles_list[i])

## Step 4: Retrieve protein structure by PDB code
pdb_code = "6vkv"
result = await tool_client.session.call_tool(
    "retrieve_protein_data_by_pdbcode",
    arguments={: pdb_code}
)
pdb_path = tool_client.parse_result(result)[]


result =  tool_client.session.call_tool(
    ,
    arguments={: pdb_path, : }
)
pdb_path = tool_client.parse_result(result)[]


result =  tool_client.session.call_tool(
    ,
    arguments={: pdb_path}
)
pdb_path = tool_client.parse_result(result)[]


result =  model_client.session.call_tool(
    ,
    arguments={: pdb_path}
)
best_pocket = tool_client.parse_result(result)[][]


result =  tool_client.session.call_tool(
    ,
    arguments={: select_smiles_list, : }
)
ligand_paths = [x[]  x  tool_client.parse_result(result)[]]


result =  tool_client.session.call_tool(
    ,
    arguments={: pdb_path}
)
receptor_path = tool_client.parse_result(result)[]


result =  model_client.session.call_tool(
    ,
    arguments={
        : receptor_path,
        : ligand_paths,
        : best_pocket[],
        : best_pocket[],
        : best_pocket[],
        : best_pocket[],
        : best_pocket[],
        : best_pocket[]
    }
)
docking_results = model_client.parse_result(result)[]


final_smiles_list = []
 item  docking_results:
     item[] <= -:
        final_smiles_list.append(select_smiles_list[item[]])
