On September 7, 2026, arXiv released the NEAT-POCKET model, a self-regressive 3D molecular generation method for protein binding pockets. Based on atomic-level generation, maintaining atomic置换 invariance, and explicitly modeling hydrogen atoms, this model demonstrated competitive structure generation performance and significantly faster sampling speeds in benchmark tests on CrossDocked and SPINDR datasets. In addition to full molecule generation, NEAT-POCKET naturally supports pocket condition fragment completion tasks, making it suitable for lead optimization and skeleton extension, and is positioned as a fast, flexible, and practical framework for structure-oriented drug design.
