arXiv:2608. 14076v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transition-state (TS) structures define the energetic barriers and mechanistic pathways of elementary chemical reactions, yet their identification remains computationally demanding because conventional saddle-point searches require expensive quantum-mechanical calculations.
The paper introduces GenAIMMD, an iterative algorithm that learns the committor function and trains a conditioned Boltzmann Generator to generate uncorrelated transition paths without prior knowledge of the reaction coordinate. This method combines transition path sampling with committor learning, enabling fully parallelizable sampling. Benchmarks on a toy model and a polymer system show a substantial performance improvement over standard TPS.
Studying the dynamical behavior of a system often depends on characterizing how it transitions between long-lived states. Because such transitions are rare, observing them usually requires specialized...
arXiv:2608. 13800v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transition path sampling (TPS) aims to efficiently generate rare molecular transition trajectories between metastable states and is essential for understanding biomolecular mechanisms.
The paper introduces MCTH (Monte Carlo Tree Hallucination), an inference-only framework that performs all‑atom biomolecular sequence‑structure co‑design by treating pretrained folding and inverse‑folding models as black‑box operators. MCTH uses Monte Carlo Tree Search to allocate a fixed inference budget across competing design trajectories, incorporating model confidence, uncertainty, and cross‑expert consensus. Experiments across protein‑RNA, protein‑DNA, protein‑protein, and protein‑ligand design show that adaptive search outperforms simpler sampling strategies, and evaluations with AlphaFold3 and Chai‑1 demonstrate transferability beyond the search‑time oracle.
arXiv:2606. 23757v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Extracting interpretable governing equations from sparse, noisy chemical time-series data remains difficult because discrete reaction topology and continuous kinetic parameters are tightly coupled.
ChemBART is a BART‑based language model trained on holistic reaction expressions (Reactant > Reagent > Product) using a mask‑filling objective. It can solve diverse chemical tasks such as precursor/reagent generation, temperature‑yield regression, and property classification, and it is integrated with Monte Carlo tree search to design multi‑step synthesis routes. The model’s predictions were experimentally validated, yielding shorter synthetic pathways with over 20 % higher yield than literature benchmarks.
The article reviews modern machine learning techniques for estimating the committor and related kinetic statistics from molecular dynamics simulations. It emphasizes self‑supervised methods that solve the underlying dynamical equations instead of relying on labeled data, and unifies various approaches—generator‑based PDEs, variational principles, Markov state models, dynamical Galerkin approximation, and neural networks—under a common operator framework. The review also discusses practical guidance for handling non‑Markovian effects, sampling strategies, and outlines future research directions such as connections to reinforcement learning and generative modeling.
