GNMCADS: Sampling For Protein Conformation Diversity With Gaussian Network Model Guided Condition Annealed Diffusion Sampler

Show abstract
Proteins are dynamic molecules existing in diverse conformational states underlying their biological functions. Although recent approaches have enabled diverse conformational sampling by emulating molecular dynamics simulations, perturbing evolutionary information, or steering internal mechanisms of structure prediction models, predicting conformations resulting from major domain motions or motions that occur over long timescales still remains a challenge. To this end, we introduce GNMCADS, a conformational sampling strategy that enhances the diversity of protein diffusion models by selectively annealing the conditioning signal guided by the intrinsic dynamical organization of the sampled protein. Further, we implement GNMCADS in the diffusion module of AlphaFold3, enabling the generation of diverse protein conformations. When benchmarked across 92 proteins that include 54 class A GPCRs, 15 transporters, and 23 proteins with major domain movements, GNMCADS exhibits improved sampling diversity compared to other current conformational sampling 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.
