Mass spectra prediction with structural motif-based graph neural networks.

ABSTRACT: Mass spectra, which are agglomerations of ionized fragments from targeted molecules, play a crucial role across various fields for the identification of molecular structures. A prevalent analysis method involves spectral library searches, where unknown spectra are cross-referenced with a database. The effectiveness of such search-based approaches, however, is restricted by the scope of the existing mass spectra database, underscoring the need to expand the database via mass spectra prediction. In this research, we propose the Motif-based Mass Spectrum prediction Network (MoMS-Net), a GNN-based architecture to predict the mass spectra pattern utilizing the structural motif information of the molecule. MoMS-Net considers both a molecule and its substructures as a graph form, which facilitates the incorporation of long-range dependencies while using less memory compared to the graph transformer model. We evaluated our model over various types of mass spectra and showed the validity and superiority over the conventional models.

Project description:Predictive modeling of toxicity is a crucial step in the drug discovery pipeline. It can help filter out molecules with a high probability of failing in the early stages of de novo drug design. Thus, several machine learning (ML) models have been developed to predict the toxicity of molecules by combining classical ML techniques or deep neural networks with well-known molecular representations such as fingerprints or 2D graphs. But the more natural, accurate representation of molecules is expected to be defined in physical 3D space like in ab initio methods. Recent studies successfully used equivariant graph neural networks (EGNNs) for representation learning based on 3D structures to predict quantum-mechanical properties of molecules. Inspired by this, we investigated the performance of EGNNs to construct reliable ML models for toxicity prediction. We used the equivariant transformer (ET) model in TorchMD-NET for this. Eleven toxicity data sets taken from MoleculeNet, TDCommons, and ToxBenchmark have been considered to evaluate the capability of ET for toxicity prediction. Our results show that ET adequately learns 3D representations of molecules that can successfully correlate with toxicity activity, achieving good accuracies on most data sets comparable to state-of-the-art models. We also test a physicochemical property, namely, the total energy of a molecule, to inform the toxicity prediction with a physical prior. However, our work suggests that these two properties can not be related. We also provide an attention weight analysis for helping to understand the toxicity prediction in 3D space and thus increase the explainability of the ML model. In summary, our findings offer promising insights considering 3D geometry information via EGNNs and provide a straightforward way to integrate molecular conformers into ML-based pipelines for predicting and investigating toxicity prediction in physical space. We expect that in the future, especially for larger, more diverse data sets, EGNNs will be an essential tool in this domain.
