Show abstract
Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) provides an informative model system for developing methods to extract and compare residue-pair fluctuation patterns from molecular dynamics (MD) trajectories. We combined a one-dimensional convolutional autoencoder trained on apo STING with temporal mean pooling, Mahalanobis-distance clustering, and residue-pair similarity networks to compare apo, ligand-bound, and SAVI-associated multi-mutant datasets using 25-dimensional latent descriptors. Networks constructed from clusters capturing state-dependent fluctuation patterns showed lid-dominated organization in the ligand-bound dataset and a1b1-enriched, structurally distributed relationships involving residue 281 in the multi-mutant dataset. These findings identify contrasting residue-pair fluctuation signatures in the analyzed trajectories and provide an interpretable framework for generating hypotheses about ligand-associated and mutation-associated dynamic allostery.

"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.
