End to end differentiable protein structure refinement
Tian, P.; Cao, X.
Show abstract
Free energy is arguably the most important property of molecular systems. Despite great progress in both its efficient estimation by scoring functions/potentials and more rigorous computation based on extensive sampling, we remain far from accurately predicting and manipulating biomolecular structures and their interactions. There are fundamental limitations, including accuracy of interaction description and difficulty of sampling in high dimensional space, to be tackled. Computational graph underlies major artificial intelligence platforms and is proven to facilitate training, optimization and learning. Combining autodifferentiation, coordinates transformation and generalized solvation free energy theory, we construct a computational graph infrastructure to realize seamless integration of fully trainable local free energy landscape with end to end differentiable iterative free energy optimization. This new framework greatly improves efficiency by replacing local sampling with differentiation. Its specific implementation in protein structure refinement achieves superb efficiency and competitive accuracy when compared with state of the art all-atom mainstream methods.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
