Life INtelligent Consortium (LINC), where life-related companies, IT companies and academia are making collaborative efforts, is a consortium aiming for a process innovation of drug discovery, development, and life-cycle management based on artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. LINC working group 4 (WG4) consists of four projects; Project 11 (PJ11)–Prediction of 3D structure of proteins, PJ12–Prediction of a binding of ligand to proteins, PJ13–Integration of MD simulations and AI, and PJ14–Development of AI force field. Recent applications of AI technologies, especially of deep learning (DL) applied to the areas corresponding to the four projects of WG4, are reported firstly so as to help understanding of the technology trends in this field. Then, the activities for each project of WG4 are briefly introduced.
