• Authors: Marloes Arts, Jes Frellsen, Wouter Boomsma
• Abstract summary: We present a new strategy for modelling protein densities in internal coordinates, which uses constraints in 3D space to induce covariance structure between the internal degrees of freedom. We demonstrate that our approach makes it possible to scale density models of internal coordinates to full protein backbones in two settings.

• Abstract: After the recent ground-breaking advances in protein structure prediction, one of the remaining challenges in protein machine learning is to reliably predict distributions of structural states. Parametric models of fluctuations are difficult to fit due to complex covariance structures between degrees of freedom in the protein chain, often causing models to either violate local or global structural constraints. In this paper, we present a new strategy for modelling protein densities in internal coordinates, which uses constraints in 3D space to induce covariance structure between the internal degrees of freedom. We illustrate the potential of the procedure by constructing a variational autoencoder with full covariance output induced by the constraints implied by the conditional mean in 3D, and demonstrate that our approach makes it possible to scale density models of internal coordinates to full protein backbones in two settings: 1) a unimodal setting for proteins exhibiting small fluctuations and limited amounts of available data, and 2) a multimodal setting for larger conformational changes in a high data regime.

  Traditional physics-based simulation methods often struggle with sampling equilibrium conformations. Deep generative models have shown promise in generating protein conformations as a more efficient alternative. We introduce Structure Language Modeling as a novel framework for efficient protein conformation generation.

DPLM-2 learns the joint distribution of sequence and structure, as well as their marginals and conditionals. Empirical evaluation shows that DPLM-2 can simultaneously generate highly compatible amino acid sequences and their corresponding 3D structures.
