The paper proposes a new framework called ensemble-conditioned guidance that reframes molecular design as an optimisation over both the modes and properties of a molecule’s conformational ensemble. It allows 3D generative models to be conditioned simultaneously on multiple axes—such as shapes, pharmacophore profiles, or protein pockets—by adaptively combining vector fields from each condition. The authors introduce adaptive symmetry learning for composable conditions across reference frames, extend the framework to support flexible-size generation, and demonstrate its effectiveness on new benchmarks and practical drug‑discovery tasks, showing improved outcomes when conditioning on additional states compared to single‑state approaches.

WEECFP-SuRGE introduces a position‑aware substructure encoding method that combines tokenized hierarchical Morgan fingerprints with graph‑distance‑dependent rotations applied at the input and within transformer self‑attention. The approach captures local chemistry, long‑range interactions, and molecular topology without requiring external pretraining or 3‑D conformer generation. Benchmarks on MoleculeNet and the Therapeutic Data Commons ADMET datasets show competitive performance, and a reconstruction procedure correctly identifies constitutional isomers for 92.6% of a 4,200‑molecule library.
