To address the imbalanced data problem in molecular docking-based virtual screening methods, this paper proposes a virtual screening method for drug proteins based on imbalanced data mining, which introduces machine learning technology into the virtual screening technology for drug proteins to deal with the imbalanced data problem in the virtual screening process and improve the accuracy of the virtual screening. First, to address the data imbalance problem caused by the large difference between the number of active compounds and the number of inactive compounds in the docking conformation generated by the actual virtual screening process, this paper proposes a way to improve the data imbalance problem using SMOTE combined with genetic algorithm to synthesize new active compounds artificially by upsampling active compounds. Then, in order to improve the accuracy in the virtual screening process of drug proteins, the idea of integrated learning is introduced, and the random forest (RF) extended from Bagging integrated learning technique is combined with the support vector machine (SVM) technique, and the virtual screening of molecular docking conformations using RF-SVM technique is proposed to improve the prediction accuracy of active compounds in docking conformations. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed technique, first, HIV-1 protease and SRC kinase were used as test data for the experiments, and then, CA II was used to validate the model of the test data. The virtual screening of drug proteins using the proposed method in this paper showed an improvement in both enrichment factor (EF) and AUC compared with the use of the traditional virtual screening, for the test dataset. Therefore, it can be shown that the proposed method can effectively improve the accuracy of drug virtual screening.
