• Abstract summary: We devise a machine learning method that can simultaneously perform dimensionality reduction and clustering of biomolecular conformations. We show that GMVAE can learn a reduced representation of the free energy landscape of protein folding. We also show that GMVAE embedding resembles the folding funnel with folded states down the funnel and unfolded states outer in the funnel path.

• Abstract: Conformational sampling of biomolecules using molecular dynamics simulations often produces large amount of high dimensional data that makes it difficult to interpret using conventional analysis techniques. Dimensionality reduction methods are thus required to extract useful and relevant information. Here we devise a machine learning method, Gaussian mixture variational autoencoder (GMVAE) that can simultaneously perform dimensionality reduction and clustering of biomolecular conformations in an unsupervised way. We show that GMVAE can learn a reduced representation of the free energy landscape of protein folding with highly separated clusters that correspond to the metastable states during folding. Since GMVAE uses a mixture of Gaussians as the prior, it can directly acknowledge the multi-basin nature of protein folding free-energy landscape. To make the model end-to-end differentialble, we use a Gumbel-softmax distribution. We test the model on three long-timescale protein folding trajectories and show that GMVAE embedding resembles the folding funnel with folded states down the funnel and unfolded states outer in the funnel path. Additionally, we show that the latent space of GMVAE can be used for kinetic analysis and Markov state models built on this embedding produce folding and unfolding timescales that are in close agreement with other rigorous dynamical embeddings such as time independent component analysis (TICA).

  This work explores the challenging problem of molecule design by framing it as a conditional generative modeling task. We propose a novel generative model comprising three components: (1) a latent vector with a learnable prior distribution; (2) a molecule generation model based on a causal Transformer, which uses the latent vector as a prompt; and (3) a property prediction model that predicts a molecule's target properties and/or constraint values using the latent prompt.

We develop a bottom-up CG force field with chemical transferability, which can be used for extrapolative molecular dynamics on new sequences. We demonstrate that the model successfully predicts folded structures, intermediates, metastable folded and unfolded basins, and the fluctuations of intrinsically disordered proteins.
