Project description:We present a complete set of chemo-structural descriptors to significantly extend the applicability of machine-learning (ML) in material screening and mapping energy landscape for multicomponent systems. These new descriptors allow differentiating between structural prototypes, which is not possible using the commonly used chemical-only descriptors. Specifically, we demonstrate that the combination of pairwise radial, nearest neighbor, bond-angle, dihedral-angle and core-charge distributions plays an important role in predicting formation energies, bandgaps, static refractive indices, magnetic properties, and modulus of elasticity for three-dimensional (3D) materials as well as exfoliation energies of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials. The training data consists of 24549 bulk and 616 monolayer materials taken from JARVIS-DFT database. We obtained very accurate ML models using gradient boosting algorithm. Then we use the trained models to discover exfoliable 2D-layered materials satisfying specific property requirements. Additionally, we integrate our formation energy ML model with a genetic algorithm for structure search to verify if the ML model reproduces the DFT convex hull. This verification establishes a more stringent evaluation metric for the ML model than what commonly used in data sciences. Our learnt model is publicly available on the JARVIS-ML website (https://www.ctcms.nist.gov/jarvisml) property predictions of generalized materials.

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.

Project description:Computational capabilities are rapidly increasing, primarily because of the availability of GPU-based architectures. This creates unprecedented simulative possibilities for the systematic and robust computation of thermodynamic observables, including the free energy of a drug binding to a target. In contrast to calculations of relative binding free energy, which are nowadays widely exploited for drug discovery, we here push the boundary of computing the binding free energy and the potential of mean force. We introduce a novel protocol that leverages enhanced sampling, machine learning, and ad hoc algorithms to limit human intervention, computing time, and free parameters in free energy calculations. We first validate the method on a host-guest system, and then we apply the protocol to glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta, a protein kinase of pharmacological interest. Overall, we obtain a good correlation with experimental values in relative and absolute terms. While we focus on protein-ligand binding, the strategy is of broad applicability to any complex event that can be described with a path collective variable. We systematically discuss key details that influence the final result. The parameters and simulation settings are available at PLUMED-NEST to allow full reproducibility.

Project description:The use of machine learning techniques in computational chemistry has gained significant momentum since large molecular databases are now readily available. Predictions of molecular properties using machine learning have advantages over the traditional quantum mechanics calculations because they can be cheaper computationally without losing the accuracy. We present a new extrapolatable and explainable molecular representation based on bonds, angles and dihedrals that can be used to train machine learning models. The trained models can accurately predict the electronic energy and the free energy of small organic molecules with atom types C, H N and O, with a mean absolute error of 1.2 kcal mol-1. The models can be extrapolated to larger organic molecules with an average error of less than 3.7 kcal mol-1 for 10 or fewer heavy atoms, which represent a chemical space two orders of magnitude larger. The rapid energy predictions of multiple molecules, up to 7 times faster than previous ML models of similar accuracy, has been achieved by sampling geometries around the potential energy surface minima. Therefore, the input geometries do not have to be located precisely on the minima and we show that accurate density functional theory energy predictions can be made from force-field optimised geometries with a mean absolute error 2.5 kcal mol-1.

Project description:The orthogonal space random walk (OSRW) method has shown enhanced sampling efficiency in free energy calculations from previous studies. In this study, the implementation of OSRW in accordance with the polarizable AMOEBA force field in TINKER molecular modeling software package is discussed and subsequently applied to the hydration free energy calculation of 20 small organic molecules, among which 15 are positively charged and five are neutral. The calculated hydration free energies of these molecules are compared with the results obtained from the Bennett acceptance ratio method using the same force field, and overall an excellent agreement is obtained. The convergence and the efficiency of the OSRW are also discussed and compared with BAR. Combining enhanced sampling techniques such as OSRW with polarizable force fields is very promising for achieving both accuracy and efficiency in general free energy calculations.

Project description:Elemental phosphorus is attracting growing interest across fundamental and applied fields of research. However, atomistic simulations of phosphorus have remained an outstanding challenge. Here, we show that a universally applicable force field for phosphorus can be created by machine learning (ML) from a suitably chosen ensemble of quantum-mechanical results. Our model is fitted to density-functional theory plus many-body dispersion (DFT + MBD) data; its accuracy is demonstrated for the exfoliation of black and violet phosphorus (yielding monolayers of "phosphorene" and "hittorfene"); its transferability is shown for the transition between the molecular and network liquid phases. An application to a phosphorene nanoribbon on an experimentally relevant length scale exemplifies the power of accurate and flexible ML-driven force fields for next-generation materials modelling. The methodology promises new insights into phosphorus as well as other structurally complex, e.g., layered solids that are relevant in diverse areas of chemistry, physics, and materials science.

Project description:While the construction of a dependable force field for performing classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is crucial for elucidating the structure and function of biomolecular systems, the attempts to do this for glycans are relatively sparse compared to those for proteins and nucleic acids. Currently, the use of GLYCAM06 force field is the most popular, but there have been a number of concerns about its accuracy in the systematic description of structural changes. In the present work, we focus on the improvement of the GLYCAM06 force field for β-d-glucose, a simple and the most abundant monosaccharide molecule, with the aid of machine learning techniques implemented with the TensorFlow library. Following the pre-sampling over a wide range of configuration space generated by MD simulation, the atomic charge and dihedral angle parameters in the GLYCAM06 force field were re-optimized to accurately reproduce the relative energies of β-d-glucose obtained by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations according to the structural changes. The validation for the newly proposed force-field parameters was then carried out by verifying that the relative energy errors compared to the DFT value were significantly reduced and that some inconsistencies with experimental (e.g., NMR) results observed in the GLYCAM06 force field were resolved relevantly.

Project description:Atomistic models provide a detailed representation of molecular systems, but are sometimes inadequate for simulations of large systems over long timescales. Coarse-grained models enable accelerated simulations by reducing the number of degrees of freedom, at the cost of reduced accuracy. New optimisation processes to parameterise these models could improve their quality and range of applicability. We present an automated approach for the optimisation of coarse-grained force fields, by reproducing free energy data derived from atomistic molecular simulations. To illustrate the approach, we implemented hydration free energy gradients as a new target for force field optimisation in ForceBalance and applied it successfully to optimise the un-charged side-chains and the protein backbone in the SIRAH protein coarse-grain force field. The optimised parameters closely reproduced hydration free energies of atomistic models and gave improved agreement with experiment.

Project description:In recent years, the use of machine learning (ML) in computational chemistry has enabled numerous advances previously out of reach due to the computational complexity of traditional electronic-structure methods. One of the most promising applications is the construction of ML-based force fields (FFs), with the aim to narrow the gap between the accuracy of ab initio methods and the efficiency of classical FFs. The key idea is to learn the statistical relation between chemical structure and potential energy without relying on a preconceived notion of fixed chemical bonds or knowledge about the relevant interactions. Such universal ML approximations are in principle only limited by the quality and quantity of the reference data used to train them. This review gives an overview of applications of ML-FFs and the chemical insights that can be obtained from them. The core concepts underlying ML-FFs are described in detail, and a step-by-step guide for constructing and testing them from scratch is given. The text concludes with a discussion of the challenges that remain to be overcome by the next generation of ML-FFs.

Project description:The ability of the Amber ff99 force field to predict relative free energies of RNA helix formation was investigated. The test systems were three hexaloop RNA hairpins with identical loops and varying stems. The potential of mean force of stretching the hairpins from the native state to an extended conformation was calculated with umbrella sampling. Because the hairpins have identical loop sequence, the differences in free energy changes are only from the stem composition. The Amber ff99 force field was able to correctly predict the order of stabilities of the hairpins, although the magnitude of the free energy change is larger than that determined by optical melting experiments. The two measurements cannot be compared directly because the unfolded state in the optical melting experiments is a random coil, while the end state in the umbrella sampling simulations was an elongated chain. The calculations can be compared to reference data by using a thermodynamic cycle. By applying the thermodynamic cycle to the transitions between the hairpins using simulations and nearest neighbor data, agreement was found to be within the sampling error of simulations, thus demonstrating that ff99 force field is able to accurately predict relative free energies of RNA helix formation.
