Abstract
Molecular surfaces play a pivotal role in elucidating the properties and functions of biological complexes. While various surfaces have been proposed for specific scenarios, their widespread adoption faces challenges due to limited efficiency stemming from hand-crafted modeling designs. In this work, we proposed a general framework that incorporates both the point cloud concept and neural networks. The use of matrix multiplication in this framework enables efficient implementation across diverse platforms and libraries. We applied this framework to develop the GENIUSES (Grid-robust Efficient Neural Interface for Universal Solvent-Excluded Surface) model for constructing SES. GENIUSES demonstrates high accuracy and efficiency across data sets with varying conformations and complexities. Compared to the classical implementation of SES in the AMBER software package, our framework achieved a 26-fold speedup while retaining ∼95% accuracy when ported to the GPU platform using CUDA. Greater speedups can be obtained in large-scale systems. Importantly, our model exhibits robustness against variations in the grid spacing. We have integrated this infrastructure into AMBER to enhance accessibility for research in drug screening and related fields, where efficiency is of paramount importance.

Abstract
Polarization plays important roles in charged and hydrogen bonding containing systems. Much effort ranging from the construction of physics-based models to quantum mechanism (QM)-based and machine learning (ML)-assisted models have been devoted to incorporating the polarization effect into the conventional force fields at different levels, such as atomic and coarse grained (CG). The application of polarizable force fields or polarization models was limited by two aspects, namely, computational cost and transferability. Different from physics-based models, no predetermining parameters were required in the QM-based approaches. Taking advantage of both the accuracy of QM calculations and efficiency of molecular mechanism (MM) and ML, polarization effects could be treated more efficiently while maintaining the QM accuracy. The computational cost could be reduced with variable electrostatic parameters, such as the charge, dipole, and electronic dielectric constant with the help of linear scaling fragmentation-based QM calculations and ML models. Polarization and entropy effects on the prediction of partition coefficient of druglike molecules are demonstrated by using both explicit or implicit all-atom molecular dynamics simulations and machine learning-assisted models. Directions and challenges for future development are also envisioned.

Abstract
Fast and accurate estimation of lipophilicity for organofluorine molecules is in great demand for accelerating drug and materials discovery. A lipophilicity data set of organofluorine molecules (OFL data set), containing 1907 samples, is constructed through density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experimental measurements. An efficient and interpretable model, called PoLogP, is developed to predict the n-octanol/water partition coefficient, log Po/w, of organofluorine molecules on the basis of the descriptors of polarization, which is a combination of polarity descriptors, including the molecular polarity index and molecular polarizability (α), and hydrogen bond (HBs) index, consisting of the number of donors (NHBD) and acceptors (NHBA and NHB-FA). The present PoLogP with a combination of polarity descriptors is demonstrated to perform better than the dipole moment (μ) alone for the F-contained molecules. With the aid of a multilevel attention graph convolutional neural network model, the fast generation of polarity descriptors of organofluorine molecules could be achieved with the DFT accuracy based only on a topological molecular graph structure. The performance of PoLogP is further validated on synthesized organofluorine molecules and 2626 non-fluorinated molecules with satisfactory accuracy, highlighting the potential usage of PoLogP in high-throughput screening of the functional molecules with the desired solubility in various solvent media.
