arXiv:2610.27001v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Drug--target affinity (DTA) prediction plays an important role in computer-aided drug discovery, where reliable computational models can help prioritize compound--protein pairs before experimental validation. A key challenge in DTA prediction is to effectively mine multi-level molecular information from drug structures while accurately modeling the binding-site environment of target proteins. To address these issues, we introduce HierDTA, a hierarchical structure-aware framework for DTA prediction. \textcolor{black}{HierDTA represents each drug as an atom--motif heterogeneous graph and introduces an augmentation module that propagates functional-motif semantics to the corresponding atoms. For proteins, kinase-domain structures are converted into residue interaction graphs. The resulting atom and residue representations are integrated using cross-attention to capture pair-specific relationships, while molecule fingerprints and pretrained ESM-2 embeddings provide complementary global information. Compared with state-of-the-art methods, HierDTA achieves superior performance on the Davis dataset across all metrics and attains the highest \(r_m^2\) of 0.791 on KIBA. It also exhibits strong generalization under cold-start settings, particularly on KIBA, where MSE is reduced by 21.7\% in the unseen-protein scenario. Ablation study and interpretability analysis supported the contributions of the hierarchical augmentation and interaction components.} Case studies further showed that HierDTA provided early enrichment of candidate bioactive compounds. These results indicate that HierDTA is an effective framework for affinity prediction and target-specific virtual screening.
