Automatically Constructed Neural Network Potentials for Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Zinc Proteins.

ABSTRACT: The development of accurate and efficient potential energy functions for the molecular dynamics simulation of metalloproteins has long been a great challenge for the theoretical chemistry community. An artificial neural network provides the possibility to develop potential energy functions with both the efficiency of the classical force fields and the accuracy of the quantum chemical methods. In this work, neural network potentials were automatically constructed by using the ESOINN-DP method for typical zinc proteins. For the four most common zinc coordination modes in proteins, the potential energy, atomic forces, and atomic charges predicted by neural network models show great agreement with quantum mechanics calculations and the neural network potential can maintain the coordination geometry correctly. In addition, MD simulation and energy optimization with the neural network potential can be readily used for structural refinement. The neural network potential is not limited by the function form and complex parameterization process, and important quantum effects such as polarization and charge transfer can be accurately considered. The algorithm proposed in this work can also be directly applied to proteins containing other metal ions.

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Polymer Nanocomposites with Supramolecular Network Constructed via Functionalized Polymer End-Grafted Nanoparticles.

Project description:Since the proposal of self-healing materials, numerous researchers have focused on exploring their potential applications in flexible sensors, bionic robots, satellites, etc. However, there have been few studies on the relationship between the morphology of the dynamic crosslink network and the comprehensive properties of self-healing polymer nanocomposites (PNCs). In this study, we designed a series of modified nanoparticles with different sphericity (η) to establish a supramolecular network, which provide the self-healing ability to PNCs. We analyzed the relationship between the morphology of the supramolecular network and the mechanical performance and self-healing behavior. We observed that as η increased, the distribution of the supramolecular network became more uniform in most cases. Examination of the segment dynamics of polymer chains showed that the completeness of the supramolecular network significantly hindered the mobility of polymer matrix chains. The mechanical performance and self-healing behavior of the PNCs showed that the supramolecular network mainly contributed to the mechanical performance, while the self-healing efficiency was dominated by the variation of η. We observed that appropriate grafting density is the proper way to effectively enhance the mechanical and self-healing performance of PNCs. This study provides a unique guideline for designing and fabricating self-healing PNCs with modified Nanoparticles (NPs).

Complex reaction processes in combustion unraveled by neural network-based molecular dynamics simulation.

Project description:Combustion is a complex chemical system which involves thousands of chemical reactions and generates hundreds of molecular species and radicals during the process. In this work, a neural network-based molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is carried out to simulate the benchmark combustion of methane. During MD simulation, detailed reaction processes leading to the creation of specific molecular species including various intermediate radicals and the products are intimately revealed and characterized. Overall, a total of 798 different chemical reactions were recorded and some new chemical reaction pathways were discovered. We believe that the present work heralds the dawn of a new era in which neural network-based reactive MD simulation can be practically applied to simulating important complex reaction systems at ab initio level, which provides atomic-level understanding of chemical reaction processes as well as discovery of new reaction pathways at an unprecedented level of detail beyond what laboratory experiments could accomplish.

Deep Boosted Molecular Dynamics: Accelerating Molecular Simulations with Gaussian Boost Potentials Generated Using Probabilistic Bayesian Deep Neural Network.

Project description:We have developed a new deep boosted molecular dynamics (DBMD) method. Probabilistic Bayesian neural network models were implemented to construct boost potentials that exhibit Gaussian distribution with minimized anharmonicity, thereby allowing for accurate energetic reweighting and enhanced sampling of molecular simulations. DBMD was demonstrated on model systems of alanine dipeptide and the fast-folding protein and RNA structures. For alanine dipeptide, 30 ns DBMD simulations captured up to 83-125 times more backbone dihedral transitions than 1 μs conventional molecular dynamics (cMD) simulations and were able to accurately reproduce the original free energy profiles. Moreover, DBMD sampled multiple folding and unfolding events within 300 ns simulations of the chignolin model protein and identified low-energy conformational states comparable to previous simulation findings. Finally, DBMD captured a general folding pathway of three hairpin RNAs with the GCAA, GAAA, and UUCG tetraloops. Based on a deep learning neural network, DBMD provides a powerful and generally applicable approach to boosting biomolecular simulations. DBMD is available with open source in OpenMM at https://github.com/MiaoLab20/DBMD/.

Flexible Fitting of Small Molecules into Electron Microscopy Maps Using Molecular Dynamics Simulations with Neural Network Potentials.

Project description:Despite significant advances in resolution, the potential for cryo-electron microscopy (EM) to be used in determining the structures of protein-drug complexes remains unrealized. Determination of accurate structures and coordination of bound ligands necessitates simultaneous fitting of the models into the density envelopes, exhaustive sampling of the ligand geometries, and, most importantly, concomitant rearrangements in the side chains to optimize the binding energy changes. In this article, we present a flexible-fitting pipeline where molecular dynamics flexible fitting (MDFF) is used to refine structures of protein-ligand complexes from 3 to 5 Å electron density data. Enhanced sampling is employed to explore the binding pocket rearrangements. To provide a model that can accurately describe the conformational dynamics of the chemically diverse set of small-molecule drugs inside MDFF, we use QM/MM and neural-network potential (NNP)/MM models of protein-ligand complexes, where the ligand is represented using the QM or NNP model, and the protein is represented using established molecular mechanical force fields (e.g., CHARMM). This pipeline offers structures commensurate to or better than recently submitted high-resolution cryo-EM or X-ray models, even when given medium to low-resolution data as input. The use of the NNPs makes the algorithm more robust to the choice of search models, offering a radius of convergence of 6.5 Å for ligand structure determination. The quality of the predicted structures was also judged by density functional theory calculations of ligand strain energy. This strain potential energy is found to systematically decrease with better fitting to density and improved ligand coordination, indicating correct binding interactions. A computationally inexpensive protocol for computing strain energy is reported as part of the model analysis protocol that monitors both the ligand fit as well as model quality.

Network visualization of conformational sampling during molecular dynamics simulation.

Project description:Effective data reduction methods are necessary for uncovering the inherent conformational relationships present in large molecular dynamics (MD) trajectories. Clustering algorithms provide a means to interpret the conformational sampling of molecules during simulation by grouping trajectory snapshots into a few subgroups, or clusters, but the relationships between the individual clusters may not be readily understood. Here we show that network analysis can be used to visualize the dominant conformational states explored during simulation as well as the connectivity between them, providing a more coherent description of conformational space than traditional clustering techniques alone. We compare the results of network visualization against 11 clustering algorithms and principal component conformer plots. Several MD simulations of proteins undergoing different conformational changes demonstrate the effectiveness of networks in reaching functional conclusions.

Observation of the amorphous zinc oxide recrystalline process by molecular dynamics simulation.

Project description:The detailed structural variations of amorphous zinc oxide (ZnO) as well as wurtzite (B4) and zinc blende (B3) crystal structures during the temperature elevation process were observed by molecular dynamics simulation. The amorphous ZnO structure was first predicted through the simulated-annealing basin-hopping algorithm with the criterion to search for the least stable structure. The density and X-ray diffraction profiles of amorphous ZnO of the structure were in agreement with previous reports. The local structural transformation among different local structures and the recrystalline process of amorphous ZnO at higher temperatures are observed and can explain the structural transformation and recrystalline mechanism in a corresponding experiment [Bruncko et al., Thin Solid Films 520, 866-870 (2011)].

Accelerated Molecular Dynamics Simulation for Helical Proteins Folding in Explicit Water.

Project description:In this study, we examined the folding processes of eight helical proteins (2I9M, TC5B, 1WN8, 1V4Z, 1HO2, 1HLL, 2KFE, and 1YYB) at room temperature using the explicit solvent model under the AMBER14SB force field with the accelerated molecular dynamics (AMD) and traditional molecular dynamics (MD), respectively. We analyzed and compared the simulation results obtained by these two methods based on several aspects, such as root mean square deviation (RMSD), native contacts, cluster analysis, folding snapshots, free energy landscape, and the evolution of the radius of gyration, which showed that these eight proteins were successfully and consistently folded into the corresponding native structures by AMD simulations carried out at room temperature. In addition, the folding occurred in the range of 40~180 ns after starting from the linear structures of the eight proteins at 300 K. By contrast, these stable folding structures were not found when the traditional molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was used. At the same time, the influence of high temperatures (350, 400, and 450 K) is also further investigated. Study found that the simulation efficiency of AMD is higher than that of MD simulations, regardless of the temperature. Of these temperatures, 300 K is the most suitable temperature for protein folding for all systems. To further investigate the efficiency of AMD, another trajectory was simulated for eight proteins with the same linear structure but different random seeds at 300 K. Both AMD trajectories reached the correct folded structures. Our result clearly shows that AMD simulation are a highly efficient and reliable method for the study of protein folding.

Differentiable simulation to develop molecular dynamics force fields for disordered proteins.

Project description:Implicit solvent force fields are computationally efficient but can be unsuitable for running molecular dynamics on disordered proteins. Here I improve the a99SB-disp force field and the GBNeck2 implicit solvent model to better describe disordered proteins. Differentiable molecular simulations with 5 ns trajectories are used to jointly optimise 108 parameters to better match explicit solvent trajectories. Simulations with the improved force field better reproduce the radius of gyration and secondary structure content seen in experiments, whilst showing slightly degraded performance on folded proteins and protein complexes. The force field, called GB99dms, reproduces the results of a small molecule binding study and improves agreement with experiment for the aggregation of amyloid peptides. GB99dms, which can be used in OpenMM, is available at https://github.com/greener-group/GB99dms. This work is the first to show that gradients can be obtained directly from nanosecond-length differentiable simulations of biomolecules and highlights the effectiveness of this approach to training whole force fields to match desired properties.

Simulating protein-ligand binding with neural network potentials.

Project description:Drug molecules adopt a range of conformations both in solution and in their protein-bound state. The strain and reduced flexibility of bound drugs can partially counter the intermolecular interactions that drive protein-ligand binding. To make accurate computational predictions of drug binding affinities, computational chemists have attempted to develop efficient empirical models of these interactions, although these methods are not always reliable. Machine learning has allowed the development of highly-accurate neural-network potentials (NNPs), which are capable of predicting the stability of molecular conformations with accuracy comparable to state-of-the-art quantum chemical calculations but at a billionth of the computational cost. Here, we demonstrate that these methods can be used to represent the intramolecular forces of protein-bound drugs within molecular dynamics simulations. These simulations are shown to be capable of predicting the protein-ligand binding pose and conformational component of the absolute Gibbs energy of binding for a set of drug molecules. Notably, the conformational energy for anti-cancer drug erlotinib binding to its target was found to be considerably overestimated by a molecular mechanical model, while the NNP predicts a more moderate value. Although the ANI-1ccX NNP was not trained to describe ionic molecules, reasonable binding poses are predicted for charged ligands, but this method is not suitable for modeling charged ligands in solution.
