E(n) Equivariant Graph Neural Network for Learning Interactional Properties of Molecules.

ABSTRACT: We have developed a multi-input E(n) equivariant graph convolution-based model designed for the prediction of chemical properties that result from the interaction of heterogeneous molecular structures. By incorporating spatial features and constraining the functions learned from these features to be equivariant to E(n) symmetries, the interactional-equivariant graph neural network (IEGNN) can efficiently learn from the 3D structure of multiple molecules. To verify the IEGNN's capability to learn interactional properties, we tested the model's performance on three molecular data sets, two of which are curated in this study and made publicly available for future interactional model benchmarking. To enable the loading of these data sets, an open-source data structure based on the PyTorch Geometric library for batch loading multigraph data points is also created. Finally, the IEGNN's performance on a data set consisting of an unknown interactional relationship (the frictional properties resulting between monolayers with variable composition) is examined. The IEGNN model developed was found to have the lowest mean absolute percent error for the predicted tribological properties of four of the six data sets when compared to previous methods.

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.
