• Authors: Xingang Peng, Jiaqi Guan, Qiang Liu, Jianzhu Ma
• Abstract summary: Deep generative models have recently achieved superior performance in 3D molecule generation. Most of them first generate atoms and then add chemical bonds based on the generated atoms in a post-processing manner. We define this problem as the atom-bond inconsistency problem and claim it is the main reason for current approaches to generating unrealistic 3D molecules.

• Abstract: Deep generative models have recently achieved superior performance in 3D molecule generation. Most of them first generate atoms and then add chemical bonds based on the generated atoms in a post-processing manner. However, there might be no corresponding bond solution for the temporally generated atoms as their locations are generated without considering potential bonds. We define this problem as the atom-bond inconsistency problem and claim it is the main reason for current approaches to generating unrealistic 3D molecules. To overcome this problem, we propose a new diffusion model called MolDiff which can generate atoms and bonds simultaneously while still maintaining their consistency by explicitly modeling the dependence between their relationships. We evaluated the generation ability of our proposed model and the quality of the generated molecules using criteria related to both geometry and chemical properties. The empirical studies showed that our model outperforms previous approaches, achieving a three-fold improvement in success rate and generating molecules with significantly better quality.

  Existing diffusion-based generative methods on de novo 3D molecule generation face two major challenges. We introduce a Dual-Track Transformer Network (DTN) to fully excevate global spatial relationships and learn high quality representations. As for the second challenge, we design Geometric-Facilitated Loss (GFLoss) which intervenes the formation of bonds during the training period, instead of directly embedding edges into the latent space.

  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.
