# Do Language Models Dream of Binding Molecules? Benchmarking LLMs under Spatial Constraints

Derived from arXiv:2607.18144 - Do Language Models Dream of Binding Molecules? Benchmarking LLMs under Spatial Constraints

## Core Concept
Structure-based drug design (SBDD) leverages the 3D structure of protein targets, often complemented by other spatial constraints, to generate candidate binding molecules. While diffusion models have dominated as a leading paradigm for high-quality 3D molecule generation, LLM-based methods are rapidly emerging in molecular design and have shown competitive performance in pocket-conditioned molecular generation. However, their ability to reason about physics and 3D spatial environments is largely...
