• Abstract: Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) provides a unique opportunity to study the structural heterogeneity of biomolecules. Being able to explain this heterogeneity with atomic models would help our understanding of their functional mechanisms but the size and ruggedness of the structural space (the space of atomic 3D cartesian coordinates) presents an immense challenge. Here, we describe a heterogeneous reconstruction method based on an atomistic representation whose deformation is reduced to a handful of collective motions through normal mode analysis. Our implementation uses an autoencoder. The encoder jointly estimates the amplitude of motion along the normal modes and the 2D shift between the center of the image and the center of the molecule . The physics-based decoder aggregates a representation of the heterogeneity readily interpretable at the atomic level. We illustrate our method on 3 synthetic datasets corresponding to different distributions along a simulated trajectory of adenylate kinase transitioning from its open to its closed structures. We show for each distribution that our approach is able to recapitulate the intermediate atomic models with atomic-level accuracy.

  We introduce a novel generative model termed Equivariant Blurring Diffusion (EBD) EBD defines a forward process that moves towards the fragment-level coarse-grained structure by blurring the fine atomic details of conformers. We demonstrate the effectiveness of EBD by geometric and chemical comparison to state-of-the-art denoising diffusion models on a benchmark of drug-like molecules.

  We show how photon-mediated interactions give rise to a plaquette-ordered bond pattern in the atomic ground state. The pattern opens a non-trivial topological gap in 2D, resulting in a higher-order topological phase hosting corner states. Our work shows how atomic quantum simulators can be harnessed to investigate novel strongly-correlated topological phenomena.

  Previous works usually generate atoms in an auto-regressive way, where element types and 3D coordinates of atoms are generated one by one. In real-world molecular systems, the interactions among atoms in an entire molecule are global, leading to the energy function pair-coupled among atoms. In this work, a generative diffusion model for molecular 3D structures based on target proteins is established, at a full-atom level in a non-autoregressive way.
