Scaffold hopping is a drug discovery strategy to generate new chemical entities by modifying the core structure, the \emph{scaffold}, of a known active compound. This approach preserves the essential molecular features of the original scaffold while introducing novel chemical elements or structural features to enhance potency, selectivity, or bioavailability. However, there is currently a lack of generative models specifically tailored for this task, especially in the pocket-conditioned context. In this work, we present DiffHopp, a conditional E(3)-equivariant graph diffusion model tailored for scaffold hopping given a known protein-ligand complex.

Quotient-Space Diffusion Models
Quotient-space diffusion models generate correct symmetric distributions by removing redundancy on the quotient space, simplifying learning and improving results on small molecules and proteins under SE(3) symmetry.

Quotient-Space Diffusion Models
Quotient-space diffusion models handle symmetries by diffusing on the space of equivalent configurations under group actions like SE(3), reducing learning complexity and guaranteeing correct sampling for molecular generation.
