Abstract
The expansion of the chemical space to tangible libraries containing billions of synthesizable molecules opens exciting opportunities for drug discovery, but also challenges the power of computer-aided drug design to prioritize the best candidates. This directly hits quantum mechanics (QM) methods, which provide chemically accurate properties, but subject to small-sized systems. Preserving accuracy while optimizing the computational cost is at the heart of many efforts to develop high-quality, efficient QM-based strategies, reflected in refined algorithms and computational approaches. The design of QM-tailored physics-based force fields and the coupling of QM with machine learning, in conjunction with the computing performance of supercomputing resources, will enhance the ability to use these methods in drug discovery. The challenge is formidable, but we will undoubtedly see impressive advances that will define a new era.

Abstract
We present software infrastructure for the design and testing of new quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical and machine-learning potential (QM/MM-ΔMLP) force fields for a wide range of applications. The software integrates Amber's molecular dynamics simulation capabilities with fast, approximate quantum models in the xtb package and machine-learning potential corrections in DeePMD-kit. The xtb package implements the recently developed density-functional tight-binding QM models with multipolar electrostatics and density-dependent dispersion (GFN2-xTB), and the interface with Amber enables their use in periodic boundary QM/MM simulations with linear-scaling QM/MM particle-mesh Ewald electrostatics. The accuracy of the semiempirical models is enhanced by including machine-learning correction potentials (ΔMLPs) enabled through an interface with the DeePMD-kit software. The goal of this paper is to present and validate the implementation of this software infrastructure in molecular dynamics and free energy simulations. The utility of the new infrastructure is demonstrated in proof-of-concept example applications. The software elements presented here are open source and freely available. Their interface provides a powerful enabling technology for the design of new QM/MM-ΔMLP models for studying a wide range of problems, including biomolecular reactivity and protein-ligand binding.

Abstract
We report the development and testing of new integrated cyberinfrastructure for performing free energy simulations with generalized hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) and machine learning potentials (MLPs) in Amber. The Sander molecular dynamics program has been extended to leverage fast, density-functional tight-binding models implemented in the DFTB+ and xTB packages, and an interface to the DeePMD-kit software enables the use of MLPs. The software is integrated through application program interfaces that circumvent the need to perform "system calls" and enable the incorporation of long-range Ewald electrostatics into the external software's self-consistent field procedure. The infrastructure provides access to QM/MM models that may serve as the foundation for QM/MM-ΔMLP potentials, which supplement the semiempirical QM/MM model with a MLP correction trained to reproduce ab initio QM/MM energies and forces. Efficient optimization of minimum free energy pathways is enabled through a new surface-accelerated finite-temperature string method implemented in the FE-ToolKit package. Furthermore, we interfaced Sander with the i-PI software by implementing the socket communication protocol used in the i-PI client-server model. The new interface with i-PI allows for the treatment of nuclear quantum effects with semiempirical QM/MM-ΔMLP models. The modular interoperable software is demonstrated on proton transfer reactions in guanine-thymine mispairs in a B-form deoxyribonucleic acid helix. The current work represents a considerable advance in the development of modular software for performing free energy simulations of chemical reactions that are important in a wide range of applications.

Electronic and Nuclear Quantum Effects on Proton Transfer Reactions of Guanine-Thymine (G-T) Mispairs Using Combined Quantum Mechanical/Molecular Mechanical and Machine Learning Potentials.

[PMID: 38893576 PMCID: PMC11173453 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29112703] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Rare tautomeric forms of nucleobases can lead to Watson-Crick-like (WC-like) mispairs in DNA, but the process of proton transfer is fast and difficult to detect experimentally. NMR studies show evidence for the existence of short-time WC-like guanine-thymine (G-T) mispairs; however, the mechanism of proton transfer and the degree to which nuclear quantum effects play a role are unclear. We use a B-DNA helix exhibiting a wGT mispair as a model system to study tautomerization reactions. We perform ab initio (PBE0/6-31G*) quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) simulations to examine the free energy surface for tautomerization. We demonstrate that while the ab initio QM/MM simulations are accurate, considerable sampling is required to achieve high precision in the free energy barriers. To address this problem, we develop a QM/MM machine learning potential correction (QM/MM-ΔMLP) that is able to improve the computational efficiency, greatly extend the accessible time scales of the simulations, and enable practical application of path integral molecular dynamics to examine nuclear quantum effects. We find that the inclusion of nuclear quantum effects has only a modest effect on the mechanistic pathway but leads to a considerable lowering of the free energy barrier for the GT*⇌G*T equilibrium. Our results enable a rationalization of observed experimental data and the prediction of populations of rare tautomeric forms of nucleobases and rates of their interconversion in B-DNA.

Abstract
Biomacromolecule structures are essential for drug development and biocatalysis. Quantum refinement (QR) methods, which employ reliable quantum mechanics (QM) methods in crystallographic refinement, showed promise in improving the structural quality or even correcting the structure of biomacromolecules. However, vast computational costs and complex quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) setups limit QR applications. Here we incorporate robust machine learning potentials (MLPs) in multiscale ONIOM(QM:MM) schemes to describe the core parts (e.g., drugs/inhibitors), replacing the expensive QM method. Additionally, two levels of MLPs are combined for the first time to overcome MLP limitations. Our unique MLPs+ONIOM-based QR methods achieve QM-level accuracy with significantly higher efficiency. Furthermore, our refinements provide computational evidence for the existence of bonded and nonbonded forms of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drug nirmatrelvir in one SARS-CoV-2 main protease structure. This study highlights that powerful MLPs accelerate QRs for reliable protein-drug complexes, promote broader QR applications and provide more atomistic insights into drug development.

Abstract
In the last several years, there has been a surge in the development of machine learning potential (MLP) models for describing molecular systems. We are interested in a particular area of this field - the training of system-specific MLPs for reactive systems - with the goal of using these MLPs to accelerate free energy simulations of chemical and enzyme reactions. To help new members in our labs become familiar with the basic techniques, we have put together a self-guided Colab tutorial (https://cc-ats.github.io/mlp_tutorial/), which we expect to be also useful to other young researchers in the community. Our tutorial begins with the introduction of simple feedforward neural network (FNN) and kernel-based (using Gaussian process regression, GPR) models by fitting the two-dimensional Müller-Brown potential. Subsequently, two simple descriptors are presented for extracting features of molecular systems: symmetry functions (including the ANI variant) and embedding neural networks (such as DeepPot-SE). Lastly, these features will be fed into FNN and GPR models to reproduce the energies and forces for the molecular configurations in a Claisen rearrangement reaction.

Abstract
Molecular simulations of high energetic materials (HEMs) are limited by efficiency and accuracy. Recently, neural network potential (NNP) models have achieved molecular simulations of millions of atoms while maintaining the accuracy of density functional theory (DFT) levels. Herein, an NNP model covering typical HEMs containing C, H, N, and O elements is developed. The mechanical and decomposition properties of 1,3,5-trinitroperhydro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (HMX), and 2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20) are determined by employing the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations based on the NNP model. The calculated results show that the mechanical properties of α-RDX, β-HMX, and ε-CL-20 agree with previous experiments and theoretical results, including cell parameters, equations of state, and elastic constants. In the thermal decomposition simulations, it is also found that the initial decomposition reactions of the three crystals are N-NO2 homolysis, corresponding radical intermediates formation, and NO2-induced reactions. This decomposition trajectory is mainly divided into two stages separating from the peak of NO2: pyrolysis and oxidation. Overall, the NNP model for C/H/N/O elements in this work is an alternative reactive force field for RDX, HMX, and CL-20 HEMs, and it opens up new potential for future kinetic study of nitramine explosives.

Abstract
This article gives a perspective on the progress of AI tools in computational chemistry through the lens of the author's decade-long contributions put in the wider context of the trends in this rapidly expanding field. This progress over the last decade is tremendous: while a decade ago we had a glimpse of what was to come through many proof-of-concept studies, now we witness the emergence of many AI-based computational chemistry tools that are mature enough to make faster and more accurate simulations increasingly routine. Such simulations in turn allow us to validate and even revise experimental results, deepen our understanding of the physicochemical processes in nature, and design better materials, devices, and drugs. The rapid introduction of powerful AI tools gives rise to unique challenges and opportunities that are discussed in this article too.

Abstract
Machine learning potentials, particularly the deep potential (DP) model, have revolutionized molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, striking a balance between accuracy and computational efficiency. To facilitate the DP model's integration with the popular MD engine OpenMM, we have developed a versatile OpenMM plugin. This plugin supports a range of applications, from conventional MD simulations to alchemical free energy calculations and hybrid DP/MM simulations. Our extensive validation tests encompassed energy conservation in microcanonical ensemble simulations, fidelity in canonical ensemble generation, and the evaluation of the structural, transport, and thermodynamic properties of bulk water. The introduction of this plugin is expected to significantly expand the application scope of DP models within the MD simulation community, representing a major advancement in the field.

Ivanova B. Stochastic Dynamic Mass Spectrometric Quantitative and Structural Analyses of Pharmaceutics and Biocides in Biota and Sewage Sludge. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24076306. [PMID: 37047279 PMCID: PMC10094044 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24076306] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2023] [Revised: 03/17/2023] [Accepted: 03/25/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Mass spectrometric innovations in analytical instrumentation tend to be accompanied by the development of a data-processing methodology, expecting to gain molecular-level insights into real-life objects. Qualitative and semi-quantitative methods have been replaced routinely by precise, accurate, selective, and sensitive quantitative ones. Currently, mass spectrometric 3D molecular structural methods are attractive. As an attempt to establish a reliable link between quantitative and 3D structural analyses, there has been developed an innovative formula [DSD″,tot=∑inDSD″,i=∑in2.6388.10−17×Ii2¯−Ii¯2] capable of the exact determination of the analyte amount and its 3D structure. It processed, herein, ultra-high resolution mass spectrometric variables of paracetamol, atenolol, propranolol, and benzalkonium chlorides in biota, using mussel tissue and sewage sludge. Quantum chemistry and chemometrics were also used. Results: Data on mixtures of antibiotics and surfactants in biota and the linear dynamic range of concentrations 2–80 ng.(mL)−1 and collision energy CE = 5–60 V are provided. Quantitative analysis of surfactants in biota via calibration equation ln[D″SD] = f(conc.) yields the exact parameter |r| = 0.99991, examining the peaks of BAC-C12 at m/z 212.209 ± 0.1 and 211.75 ± 0.15 for tautomers of fragmentation ions. Exact parameter |r| = 1 has been obtained, correlating the theory and experiments in determining the 3D molecular structures of ions of paracetamol at m/z 152, 158, 174, 301, and 325 in biota.
