J.Am.Chem.Soc., 148:13043-13054, 2026 Cited by PubMed Abstract: Covalent inhibitors are a prominent modality for research and therapeutic tools. However, a scarcity of computational methods for their discovery slows progress in this field. AI models such as AlphaFold3 (AF3) have shown accuracy in ligand pose prediction, but their applicability for virtual screening campaigns was not assessed. We show that AF3 cofolding predictions and an associated predicted confidence metric ranks true covalent binders with near-optimal classification over property-matched decoys, significantly outperforming state-of-the-art covalent docking tools for a set of protein kinases. In a prospective virtual screening campaign against the model kinase BTK, we discovered a chemically distinct, novel, covalent small molecule that displays potent inhibition and in cells while maintaining marked kinome and proteomic selectivity. Co-crystallography validated the subangstrom accuracy of the predicted AF3 binding mode. These results demonstrate that AF3 can be practically used to discover novel chemical matter for kinases, one of the most prolific families of drug targets.
