Geometry-enhanced pretraining on interatomic potentials

Geometric Enhanced Pretraining for Interatomic Potentials Introduction Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations play an important role in fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, and materials science, providing insights into atomic-level processes. The accuracy and efficiency of MD simulations depend on the choice of interatomic potential functions ...

Equivariant 3D Conditional Diffusion Model for Molecular Linker Design

Equivariant 3D Conditional Diffusion Model for Molecular Linker Design

From early drug discovery researchers face a daunting challenge – to find drug-like candidate molecules among approximately 10^60 possible molecular structures. One successful solution is to start from smaller “fragment” molecules, a strategy known as fragment-based drug design (FBDD). In the FBDD process, the first step is to computationally scree...

Tandem mass spectrum prediction for small molecules using graph transformers

This is a paper about MassFormer, a graph transformer model for small molecule mass spectrometry prediction. This research addresses the problem of molecular identification in mass spectrometry data and proposes a novel deep learning approach to predict mass spectra of small molecules. Background: Mass spectrometry (MS) is an analytical technique w...
