Abstract
En 中文
Resolving the intricate details of biological phenomena at the molecular level is fundamentally limited by both length- and time scales that can be probed experimentally. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations at various scales are powerful tools frequently employed to offer valuable biological insights beyond experimental resolution. However, while it is relatively simple to observe long-lived, stable configurations of, for example, proteins, at the required spatial resolution, simulating the more interesting rare transitions between such states often takes orders of magnitude longer than what is feasible even on the largest supercomputers available today. One common aspect of this challenge is pathway discovery, where the start and end states of a scientific phenomenon are known or can be approximated, but the mechanistic details in between are unknown. Here, we propose a representation-learning-based solution that uses interpolation and extrapolation in an abstract representation space to synthesize potential transition states, which are automatically validated using MD simulations. The new simulations of the synthesized transition states are subsequently incorporated into the representation learning, leading to an iterative framework for targeted path sampling. Our approach is demonstrated by recovering the transition of a RAS-RAF protein domain (CRD) from membrane-free to interacting with the membrane using coarse-grain MD simulations.
