Accurate prediction of B-form/A-form DNA conformation propensity from primary sequence: A machine learning and free energy handshake.

ABSTRACT: DNA carries the genetic code of life, with different conformations associated with different biological functions. Predicting the conformation of DNA from its primary sequence, although desirable, is a challenging problem owing to the polymorphic nature of DNA. We have deployed a host of machine learning algorithms, including the popular state-of-the-art LightGBM (a gradient boosting model), for building prediction models. We used the nested cross-validation strategy to address the issues of "overfitting" and selection bias. This simultaneously provides an unbiased estimate of the generalization performance of a machine learning algorithm and allows us to tune the hyperparameters optimally. Furthermore, we built a secondary model based on SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) that offers crucial insight into model interpretability. Our detailed model-building strategy and robust statistical validation protocols tackle the formidable challenge of working on small datasets, which is often the case in biological and medical data.

Machine learned features from density of states for accurate adsorption energy prediction.

Project description:Materials databases generated by high-throughput computational screening, typically using density functional theory (DFT), have become valuable resources for discovering new heterogeneous catalysts, though the computational cost associated with generating them presents a crucial roadblock. Hence there is a significant demand for developing descriptors or features, in lieu of DFT, to accurately predict catalytic properties, such as adsorption energies. Here, we demonstrate an approach to predict energies using a convolutional neural network-based machine learning model to automatically obtain key features from the electronic density of states (DOS). The model, DOSnet, is evaluated for a diverse set of adsorbates and surfaces, yielding a mean absolute error on the order of 0.1 eV. In addition, DOSnet can provide physically meaningful predictions and insights by predicting responses to external perturbations to the electronic structure without additional DFT calculations, paving the way for the accelerated discovery of materials and catalysts by exploration of the electronic space.

MLSolvA: solvation free energy prediction from pairwise atomistic interactions by machine learning.

Project description:Recent advances in machine learning technologies and their applications have led to the development of diverse structure-property relationship models for crucial chemical properties. The solvation free energy is one of them. Here, we introduce a novel ML-based solvation model, which calculates the solvation energy from pairwise atomistic interactions. The novelty of the proposed model consists of a simple architecture: two encoding functions extract atomic feature vectors from the given chemical structure, while the inner product between the two atomistic feature vectors calculates their interactions. The results of 6239 experimental measurements achieve outstanding performance and transferability for enlarging training data owing to its solvent-non-specific nature. An analysis of the interaction map shows that our model has significant potential for producing group contributions on the solvation energy, which indicates that the model provides not only predictions of target properties but also more detailed physicochemical insights.

Propensity to form amyloid fibrils is encoded as excitations in the free energy landscape of monomeric proteins.

Project description:Protein aggregation, linked to many of diseases, is initiated when monomers access rogue conformations that are poised to form amyloid fibrils. We show, using simulations of src SH3 domain, that mechanical force enhances the population of the aggregation-prone (N(⁎)) states, which are rarely populated under force free native conditions but are encoded in the spectrum of native fluctuations. The folding phase diagrams of SH3 as a function of denaturant concentration ([C]), mechanical force (f), and temperature exhibit an apparent two-state behavior, without revealing the presence of the elusive N(⁎) states. Interestingly, the phase boundaries separating the folded and unfolded states at all [C] and f fall on a master curve, which can be quantitatively described using an analogy to superconductors in a magnetic field. The free energy profiles as a function of the molecular extension (R), which are accessible in pulling experiments, (R), reveal the presence of a native-like N(⁎) with a disordered solvent-exposed amino-terminal β-strand. The structure of the N(⁎) state is identical with that found in Fyn SH3 by NMR dispersion experiments. We show that the timescale for fibril formation can be estimated from the population of the N(⁎) state, determined by the free energy gap separating the native structure and the N(⁎) state, a finding that can be used to assess fibril forming tendencies of proteins. The structures of the N(⁎) state are used to show that oligomer formation and likely route to fibrils occur by a domain-swap mechanism in SH3 domain.

Accurate prediction of X-ray pulse properties from a free-electron laser using machine learning.

Project description:Free-electron lasers providing ultra-short high-brightness pulses of X-ray radiation have great potential for a wide impact on science, and are a critical element for unravelling the structural dynamics of matter. To fully harness this potential, we must accurately know the X-ray properties: intensity, spectrum and temporal profile. Owing to the inherent fluctuations in free-electron lasers, this mandates a full characterization of the properties for each and every pulse. While diagnostics of these properties exist, they are often invasive and many cannot operate at a high-repetition rate. Here, we present a technique for circumventing this limitation. Employing a machine learning strategy, we can accurately predict X-ray properties for every shot using only parameters that are easily recorded at high-repetition rate, by training a model on a small set of fully diagnosed pulses. This opens the door to fully realizing the promise of next-generation high-repetition rate X-ray lasers.

Funnel metadynamics as accurate binding free-energy method.

Project description:A detailed description of the events ruling ligand/protein interaction and an accurate estimation of the drug affinity to its target is of great help in speeding drug discovery strategies. We have developed a metadynamics-based approach, named funnel metadynamics, that allows the ligand to enhance the sampling of the target binding sites and its solvated states. This method leads to an efficient characterization of the binding free-energy surface and an accurate calculation of the absolute protein-ligand binding free energy. We illustrate our protocol in two systems, benzamidine/trypsin and SC-558/cyclooxygenase 2. In both cases, the X-ray conformation has been found as the lowest free-energy pose, and the computed protein-ligand binding free energy in good agreement with experiments. Furthermore, funnel metadynamics unveils important information about the binding process, such as the presence of alternative binding modes and the role of waters. The results achieved at an affordable computational cost make funnel metadynamics a valuable method for drug discovery and for dealing with a variety of problems in chemistry, physics, and material science.

The free energy cost of accurate biochemical oscillations.

Project description:Oscillation is an important cellular process that regulates timing of different vital life cycles. However, in the noisy cellular environment, oscillations can be highly inaccurate due to phase fluctuations. It remains poorly understood how biochemical circuits suppress phase fluctuations and what is the incurred thermodynamic cost. Here, we study three different types of biochemical oscillations representing three basic oscillation motifs shared by all known oscillatory systems. In all the systems studied, we find that the phase diffusion constant depends on the free energy dissipation per period following the same inverse relation parameterized by system specific constants. This relationship and its range of validity are shown analytically in a model of noisy oscillation. Microscopically, we find that the oscillation is driven by multiple irreversible cycles that hydrolyze the fuel molecules such as ATP; the number of phase coherent periods is proportional to the free energy consumed per period. Experimental evidence in support of this general relationship and testable predictions are also presented.

Machine learning of accurate energy-conserving molecular force fields.

Project description:Using conservation of energy-a fundamental property of closed classical and quantum mechanical systems-we develop an efficient gradient-domain machine learning (GDML) approach to construct accurate molecular force fields using a restricted number of samples from ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) trajectories. The GDML implementation is able to reproduce global potential energy surfaces of intermediate-sized molecules with an accuracy of 0.3 kcal mol-1 for energies and 1 kcal mol-1 Å̊-1 for atomic forces using only 1000 conformational geometries for training. We demonstrate this accuracy for AIMD trajectories of molecules, including benzene, toluene, naphthalene, ethanol, uracil, and aspirin. The challenge of constructing conservative force fields is accomplished in our work by learning in a Hilbert space of vector-valued functions that obey the law of energy conservation. The GDML approach enables quantitative molecular dynamics simulations for molecules at a fraction of cost of explicit AIMD calculations, thereby allowing the construction of efficient force fields with the accuracy and transferability of high-level ab initio methods.

Energy-free machine learning force field for aluminum.

Project description:We used the machine learning technique of Li et al. (PRL 114, 2015) for molecular dynamics simulations. Atomic configurations were described by feature matrix based on internal vectors, and linear regression was used as a learning technique. We implemented this approach in the LAMMPS code. The method was applied to crystalline and liquid aluminum and uranium at different temperatures and densities, and showed the highest accuracy among different published potentials. Phonon density of states, entropy and melting temperature of aluminum were calculated using this machine learning potential. The results are in excellent agreement with experimental data and results of full ab initio calculations.

Accurate Binding Free Energy Method from End-State MD Simulations.

Project description:Herein, we introduce a new strategy to estimate binding free energies using end-state molecular dynamics simulation trajectories. The method is adopted from linear interaction energy (LIE) and ANI-2x neural network potentials (machine learning) for the atomic simulation environment (ASE). It predicts the single-point interaction energies between ligand-protein and ligand-solvent pairs at the accuracy of the wb97x/6-31G* level for the conformational space that is sampled by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Our results on 54 protein-ligand complexes show that the method can be accurate and have a correlation of R = 0.87-0.88 to the experimental binding free energies, outperforming current end-state methods with reduced computational cost. The method also allows us to compare BFEs of ligands with different scaffolds. The code is available free of charge (documentation and test files) at https://github.com/otayfuroglu/deepQM.

Accurate and rapid prediction of tuberculosis drug resistance from genome sequence data using traditional machine learning algorithms and CNN.

Project description:Effective and timely antibiotic treatment depends on accurate and rapid in silico antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) predictions. Existing statistical rule-based Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) drug resistance prediction methods using bacterial genomic sequencing data often achieve varying results: high accuracy on some antibiotics but relatively low accuracy on others. Traditional machine learning (ML) approaches have been applied to classify drug resistance for MTB and have shown more stable performance. However, there is no study that uses deep learning architecture like Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) on a large and diverse cohort of MTB samples for AMR prediction. We developed 24 binary classifiers of MTB drug resistance status across eight anti-MTB drugs and three different ML algorithms: logistic regression, random forest and 1D CNN using a training dataset of 10,575 MTB isolates collected from 16 countries across six continents, where an extended pan-genome reference was used for detecting genetic features. Our 1D CNN architecture was designed to integrate both sequential and non-sequential features. In terms of F1-scores, 1D CNN models are our best classifiers that are also more accurate and stable than the state-of-the-art rule-based tool Mykrobe predictor (81.1 to 93.8%, 93.7 to 96.2%, 93.1 to 94.8%, 95.9 to 97.2% and 97.1 to 98.2% for ethambutol, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, isoniazid and ofloxacin respectively). We applied filter-based feature selection to find AMR relevant features. All selected variant features are AMR-related ones in CARD database. 78.8% of them are also in the catalogue of MTB mutations that were recently identified as drug resistance-associated ones by WHO. To facilitate ML model development for AMR prediction, we packaged every step into an automated pipeline and shared the source code at https://github.com/KuangXY3/MTB-AMR-classification-CNN .
