Reformulating biomolecular docking as a graph-based combinatorial problem unlocks optimisation with fewer resources while retaining essential structures. This work demonstrates how advanced encoding translates complex calculations into forms suitable for near term devices. Successful execution upon an IBM quantum computer confirms its potential to accelerate structure-based drug discovery processes.

A hybrid quantum-classical computing approach streamlines complex calculations by reformulating a key challenge in drug discovery: identifying how molecules bind to target proteins. This new method tackles molecular docking by transforming it into a graph-based problem solvable with advanced encoding techniques; this allows for more efficient use of computational resources while maintaining key optimisation structures. A new computational method has been devised for molecular docking, integrating both classical and quantum computing…
