• Abstract summary: Imaging individual conformational instances of generic, inhomogeneous, transient or intrinsically disordered protein systems at the single molecule level in situ is one of the notable challenges in structural biology. Here we tackle the problem by designing a single molecule imaging platform technology embracing the advantages silicon-based spin qubits. We demonstrate through detailed simulation, that this platform enables scalable atomic-level structure-determination of individual molecular systems in native environments.

• Abstract: Imaging individual conformational instances of generic, inhomogeneous, transient or intrinsically disordered protein systems at the single molecule level in situ is one of the notable challenges in structural biology. Present techniques access averaged structural information by measuring over large ensembles of proteins in nearly uniform conformational states in synthetic environments. This poses significant implications for diagnostics and drug design which require a detailed understanding of subtle conformational changes, small molecule interactions and ligand dynamics. Here we tackle the problem by designing a single molecule imaging platform technology embracing the advantages silicon-based spin qubits offer in terms of quantum coherence and established fabrication pathways. We demonstrate through detailed simulation, that this platform enables scalable atomic-level structure-determination of individual molecular systems in native environments. The approach is particularly well suited to the high-value lipid-membrane context, and as such its experimental implementation could have far-reaching consequences for the understanding of membrane biology and drug development.

  We develop quantized auto-encoders that learn atom-level tokenizations of complete proteins, RNA and small molecule structures with reconstruction accuracies below and around 1 Angstrom. We demonstrate that the Mamba state space model architecture employed is comparatively efficient, requiring a fraction of the training data, parameters and compute needed to reach competitive accuracies and can scale to systems with almost 100,000 atoms.
