Abstract

# VeloBind — trained models and reproducibility archive Companion data deposit for the paper *"VeloBind: A Compact, Structure-Free Modelfor Calibrated Protein–Ligand Binding Affinity Prediction"* (Mathur & Hassan, 2026). VeloBind predicts protein–ligand binding affinity (pKd) from protein sequence andligand SMILES alone, with calibrated, protein-family-conditional conformalprediction intervals.
