Title: Machine Learning for Molecular Simulation
Machine learning (ML) is transforming all areas of science.The complex and time-consuming calculations in molecular simulations are particularly suitable for an ML revolution and have already been profoundly affected by the application of existing ML methods. Here we review recent ML methods for molecular simulation, with particular focus on (deep) neural networks for the prediction of quantum-mechanical energies and forces, on coarse-grained molecular dynamics, on the extraction of free energy surfaces and kinetics, and on generative network approaches to sample molecular equilibrium structures and compute thermodynamics. To explain these methods and illustrate open methodological problems,we review some important principles of molecular physics and describe how they can be incorporated into ML structures. Finally,we identify and describe a list of open challenges for the interface between ML and molecular simulation.  more » « less

    In this review, we examine how machine learning (ML) can build on molecular simulation (MS) algorithms to advance tremendously our ability to predict the thermodynamic properties of a wide range of systems. The key thermodynamic properties that govern the evolution of a system and the outcome of a process include the entropy, the Helmholtz and the Gibbs free energy. However, their determination through advanced molecular simulation algorithms has remained challenging, since such methods are extremely computationally intensive. Combining MS with ML provides a solution that overcomes such challenges and, in turn, accelerates discovery through the rapid prediction of free energies. After presenting a brief overview of combined MS–ML protocols, we review how these approaches allow for the accurate prediction of these thermodynamic functions and, more broadly, of free energy landscapes for molecular and biological systems. We then discuss extensions of this approach to systems relevant to energy and environmental applications, i.e. gas storage and separation in nanoporous materials, such as metal–organic frameworks and covalent organic frameworks. We finally show in the last part of the review how ML models can suggest new ways to explore free energy landscapes, identify novel pathways and provide new insight into assembly processes.

    Abstract Cryo‐electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) has become a major experimental technique to determine the structures of large protein complexes and molecular assemblies, as evidenced by the 2017 Nobel Prize. Although cryo‐EM has been drastically improved to generate high‐resolution three‐dimensional maps that contain detailed structural information about macromolecules, the computational methods for using the data to automatically build structure models are lagging far behind. The traditional cryo‐EM model building approach is template‐based homology modeling. Manual de novo modeling is very time‐consuming when no template model is found in the database. In recent years, de novo cryo‐EM modeling using machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) has ranked among the top‐performing methods in macromolecular structure modeling. DL‐based de novo cryo‐EM modeling is an important application of artificial intelligence, with impressive results and great potential for the next generation of molecular biomedicine. Accordingly, we systematically review the representative ML/DL‐based de novo cryo‐EM modeling methods. Their significances are discussed from both practical and methodological viewpoints. We also briefly describe the background of cryo‐EM data processing workflow. Overall, this review provides an introductory guide to modern research on artificial intelligence for de novo molecular structure modeling and future directions in this emerging field.

    Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is crucial for small-molecule analysis; however, traditional computational methods are limited by incomplete reference libraries and complex data processing. Machine learning (ML) is transforming small-molecule mass spectrometry in three key directions: (a) predicting MS/MS spectra and related physicochemical properties to expand reference libraries, (b) improving spectral matching through automated pattern extraction, and (c) predicting molecular structures of compounds directly from their MS/MS spectra. We review ML approaches for molecular representations [descriptors, simplified molecular-input line-entry (SMILE) strings, and graphs] and MS/MS spectra representations (using binned vectors and peak lists) along with recent advances in spectra prediction, retention time, collision cross sections, and spectral matching. Finally, we discuss ML-integrated workflows for chemical formula identification. By addressing the limitations of current methods for compound identification, these ML approaches can greatly enhance the understanding of biological processes and the development of diagnostic and therapeutic tools.

    The combination of machine learning (ML) models with chemistry-related tasks requires the description of molecular structures in a machine-readable way. The nature of these so-called molecular descriptors has a direct and major impact on the performance of ML models and remains an open problem in the field. Structural descriptors like SMILES strings or molecular graphs lack size-independence and can be memory intensive. Machine-learned descriptors can be of low dimensionality and constant size but lack physical significance and human interpretability. Sigma profiles, which are unnormalized histograms of the surface charge distributions of solvated molecules, combine physical significance with low dimensionality and size-independence, making them a suitable candidate for a universal molecular descriptor. However, their widespread adoption in ML applications requires open access to sigma profile generation, which is currently not available. This work details the development of OpenSPGen – an open-source tool for generating sigma profiles. Also presented are studies on the effect of different settings on the efficacy of the generated sigma profiles at predicting thermophysical material properties when used as inputs to a Gaussian process as a simple surrogate ML model. We find that a higher level of theory does not translate to more accurate results. We also provide further recommendations for sigma profile calculation and use in ML models.
