We investigate crystal nucleation in supersaturated colloid suspensions using enhanced molecular dynamics simulations augmented with machine learning techniques. The simulations reveal that crystallization in the model colloidal system studied here, with particles interacting through a repulsive screened Coulomb Yukawa potential, proceeds from vapor to dense liquid droplet to crystalline phases across multiple high barriers. Employing a one-dimensional reaction coordinate derived from the State Predictive Information Bottleneck framework, our simulations capture backand-forth phase transitions across multiple barriers effectively in biased metadynamics simulations. We obtain relative free energy differences between different phases and also quantify the roles of different molecular level features in driving the phase changes.

Small molecule drug design hinges on obtaining co-crystallized ligand-protein structures. Despite AlphaFold2's strides in protein native structure prediction, its focus on apo structures overlooks ligands and associated holo structures. Moreover, designing selective drugs often benefits from the targeting of diverse metastable conformations. Therefore, direct application of AlphaFold2 models in virtual screening and drug discovery remains tentative. Here, we demonstrate an AlphaFold2 based framework combined with all-atom enhanced sampling molecular dynamics and induced fit docking, named AF2RAVE-Glide, to conduct computational model based small molecule binding of metastable protein kinase conformations, initiated from protein sequences. We demonstrate the AF2RAVE-Glide workflow on three different protein kinases and their type I and II inhibitors, with special emphasis on binding of known type II kinase inhibitors which target the metastable classical DFG-out state. These states are not easy to sample from AlphaFold2. Here we demonstrate how with AF2RAVE these metastable conformations can be sampled for different kinases with high enough accuracy to enable subsequent docking of known type II kinase inhibitors with more than 50% success rates across docking calculations. We believe the protocol should be deployable for other kinases and more proteins generally., Comment: added revised version and DOI link to eLife version

Understanding nucleation from aqueous solutions is of fundamental importance in a multitude of fields, ranging from materials science to biophysics. The complex solvent-mediated interactions in aqueous solutions hamper the development of a simple physical picture elucidating the roles of different interactions in nucleation processes. In this work we make use of three complementary techniques to disentangle the role played by short and long-range interactions in solvent mediated nucleation. Specifically, the first approach we utilize is the local molecular field (LMF) theory to renormalize long-range Coulomb electrostatics. Secondly, we use well-tempered metadynamics to speed up rare events governed by short-range interactions. Thirdly, deep learning-based State Predictive Information Bottleneck approach is employed in analyzing the reaction coordinate of the nucleation processes obtained from LMF treatment coupled with well-tempered metadynamics. We find that the two-step nucleation mechanism can largely be captured by the short-range interactions, while the long-range interactions further contribute to the stability of the primary crystal state at ambient conditions. Furthermore, by analyzing the reaction coordinate obtained from combined LMF-metadynamics treatment, we discern the fluctuations on different time scales, highlighting the need for long-range interactions when accounting for metastability.

Condensed Matter - Soft Condensed Matter ,Condensed Matter - Statistical Mechanics - Abstract
Crystal nucleation is relevant across the domains of fundamental and applied sciences. However, in many cases its mechanism remains unclear due to a lack of temporal or spatial resolution. To gain insights to the molecular details of nucleation, some form of molecular dynamics simulations is typically performed; these simulations, in turn, are limited by their ability to run long enough to sample the nucleation event thoroughly. To overcome the timescale limits in typical molecular dynamics simulations in a manner free of prior human bias, here we employ the machine learning augmented molecular dynamics framework ``Reweighted Autoencoded Variational Bayes for enhanced sampling (RAVE)". We study two molecular systems, urea and glycine in explicit all-atom water, due to their enrichment in polymorphic structures and common utility in commercial applications. From our simulations, we observe multiple back-and-forth liquid-solid transitions of different polymorphs and from these trajectories calculate the polymorph stability relative to the dissolved liquid state. We further observe that the obtained reaction coordinates and transitions are highly non-classical., Comment: 12 pages, 7 figures

Recurrent neural networks have seen widespread use in modeling dynamical systems in varied domains such as weather prediction, text prediction and several others. Often one wishes to supplement the experimentally observed dynamics with prior knowledge or intuition about the system. While the recurrent nature of these networks allows them to model arbitrarily long memories in the time series used in training, it makes it harder to impose prior knowledge or intuition through generic constraints. In this work, we present a path sampling approach based on principle of Maximum Caliber that allows us to include generic thermodynamic or kinetic constraints into recurrent neural networks. We show the method here for a widely used type of recurrent neural network known as long short-term memory network in the context of supplementing time series collected from different application domains. These include classical Molecular Dynamics of a protein and Monte Carlo simulations of an open quantum system continuously losing photons to the environment and displaying Rabi oscillations. Our method can be easily generalized to other generative artificial intelligence models and to generic time series in different areas of physical and social sciences, where one wishes to supplement limited data with intuition or theory based corrections., Comment: Added results for open quantum system with dissipative photon dynamics

An effective implementation of enhanced sampling algorithms for molecular dynamics simulations requires a priori knowledge of the approximate reaction coordinate describing the relevant mechanisms in the system. Here we demonstrate how the artificial intelligence based recent State Predictive Information Bottleneck (SPIB) approach can learn such a reaction coordinate as a deep neural network even from under-sampled trajectories. We demonstrate its usefulness by achieving more than 40 magnitudes of acceleration in simulating two test-piece biophysical systems through well-tempered metadynamics performed by biasing along the SPIB learned reaction coordinate. These include left- to right- handed chirality transitions in a synthetic protein (Aib)_9, and permeation of a small, asymmetric molecule benzoic acid through a synthetic, symmetric phospholipid bilayer. In addition to significantly accelerating the dynamics and achieving back-and-forth movement between different metastable states, the SPIB based reaction coordinate gives mechanistic insight into the processes driving these two important problems.

We study NaCl ion-pair dissociation in a dilute aqueous solution using computer simulations both for the full system with long range Coulomb interactions and for a well chosen reference system with short range intermolecular interactions. Analyzing results using concepts from Local Molecular Field (LMF) theory and the recently proposed AI-based analysis tool "State predictive information bottleneck" (SPIB) we show that the system with short range interactions can accurately reproduce the transition rate for the dissociation process, the dynamics for moving between the underlying metastable states, and the transition state ensemble. Contributions from long range interactions can be largely neglected for these processes because long range forces from the direct interionic Coulomb interactions are almost completely canceled ($>90\%$) by those from solvent interactions over the length scale where the transition takes place. Thus for this important monovalent ion-pair system, short range forces alone are able to capture detailed consequences of the collective solvent motion, allowing the use of physically suggestive and computationally efficient short range models for the disassociation event. We believe that the framework here should be applicable to disentangling mechanisms for more complex processes such as multivalent ion disassociation, where previous work has suggested that long range contributions may be more important.

Understanding the driving forces behind the nucleation of different polymorphs is of great importance for material sciences and the pharmaceutical industry. This includes understanding the reaction coordinate that governs the nucleation process as well as correctly calculating the relative free energies of different polymorphs. Here we demonstrate, for the prototypical case of urea nucleation from melt, how one can learn such a 1-dimensional reaction coordinate as a function of pre-specified order parameters, and use it to perform efficient biased all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. The reaction coordinate is learnt as a function of generic thermodynamic and structural order parameters using the "Spectral Gap Optimization of Order Parameters (SGOOP)" approach [P. Tiwary and B. J. Berne, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (2016)], and is biased using well-tempered metadynamics simulations. The reaction coordinate gives insight into the role played by different structural and thermodynamics order parameters, and the biased simulations obtain accurate relative free energies for different polymorphs. This includes accurate prediction of the approximate pressure at which urea undergoes a phase transition and one of the metastable polymorphs becomes the most stable conformation. We believe the ideas demonstrated in thus work will facilitate efficient sampling of nucleation in complex, generic systems.

Here we propose the Reweighted Autoencoded Variational Bayes for Enhanced Sampling (RAVE) method, a new iterative scheme that uses the deep learning framework of variational autoencoders to enhance sampling in molecular simulations. RAVE involves iterations between molecular simulations and deep learning in order to produce an increasingly accurate probability distribution along a low-dimensional latent space that captures the key features of the molecular simulation trajectory. Using the Kullback-Leibler divergence between this latent space distribution and the distribution of various trial reaction coordinates sampled from the molecular simulation, RAVE determines an optimum, yet nonetheless physically interpretable, reaction coordinate and optimum probability distribution. Both then directly serve as the biasing protocol for a new biased simulation, which is once again fed into the deep learning module with appropriate weights accounting for the bias, the procedure continuing until estimates of desirable thermodynamic observables are converged. Unlike recent methods using deep learning for enhanced sampling purposes, RAVE stands out in that (a) it naturally produces a physically interpretable reaction coordinate, (b) is independent of existing enhanced sampling protocols to enhance the fluctuations along the latent space identified via deep learning, and (c) it provides the ability to easily filter out spurious solutions learned by the deep learning procedure. The usefulness and reliability of RAVE is demonstrated by applying it to model potentials of increasing complexity, including computation of the binding free energy profile for a hydrophobic ligand-substrate system in explicit water with dissociation time of more than three minutes, in computer time at least twenty times less than that needed for umbrella sampling or metadynamics.

We consider a range of model potentials with metastable states undergoing molecular dynamics coupled to a thermal bath in the high friction regime, and consider how the optimal reaction coordinate depends on the diffusion anisotropy. For this we use our recently proposed method 'Spectral gap optimization of order parameters (SGOOP)' (Tiwary and Berne, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 113 2839 2016). We show how available information about dynamical observables in addition to static information can be incorporated into SGOOP, which can then be used to accurately determine the 'best' reaction coordinate for arbitrary anisotropies. We compare our results with transmission coefficient calculations and published benchmarks where applicable or available respectively.

We use a recently proposed method called Spectral Gap Optimization of Order Parameters (SGOOP) (Tiwary and Berne, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci 2016, 113, 2839 (2016)), to determine an optimal 1-dimensional reaction coordinate (RC) for the unbinding of a bucky-ball from a pocket in explicit water. This RC is estimated as a linear combination of the multiple available order parameters that collectively can be used to distinguish the various stable states relevant for unbinding. We pay special attention to determining and quantifying the degree to which water molecules should be included in the RC. Using SGOOP with under-sampled biased simulations, we predict that water plays a distinct role in the reaction coordinate for unbinding in the case when the ligand is sterically constrained to move along an axis of symmetry. This prediction is validated through extensive calculations of the unbinding times through metadynamics, and by comparison through detailed balance with unbiased molecular dynamics estimate of the binding time. However when the steric constraint is removed, we find that the role of water in the reaction coordinate diminishes. Here instead SGOOP identifies a good one-dimensional RC involving various motional degrees of freedom., Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures

We consider the rate of transition for a particle between two metastable states coupled to a thermal environment for various magnitudes of the coupling strength, using the recently proposed infrequent metadynamics approach (Tiwary and Parrinello, Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 230602 (2013)). We are interested in understanding how this approach for obtaining rate constants performs as the dynamics regime changes from energy diffusion to spatial diffusion. Reassuringly, we find that the approach works remarkably well for various coupling strengths in the strong coupling regime, and to some extent even in the weak coupling regime., Comment: 3 pages, 1 figure, submitted to J.

In modern day simulations of many-body systems much of the computational complexity is shifted to the identification of slowly changing molecular order parameters called collective variables (CV) or reaction coordinates. A vast array of enhanced sampling methods are based on the identification and biasing of these low-dimensional order parameters, whose fluctuations are important in driving rare events of interest. Here describe a new algorithm for finding optimal low-dimensional collective variables for use in enhanced sampling biasing methods like umbrella sampling, metadynamics and related methods, when limited prior static and dynamic information is known about the system, and a much larger set of candidate CVs is specified. The algorithm involves estimating the best combination of these candidate CVs, as quantified by a maximum path entropy estimate of the spectral gap for dynamics viewed as a function of that CV. Through multiple practical examples, we show how this post-processing procedure can lead to optimization of CV and several orders of magnitude improvement in the convergence of the free energy calculated through metadynamics, essentially giving the ability to extract useful information even from unsuccessful metadynamics runs., Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures; corrected missing figure number and added a reference

Condensation of a liquid droplet from a supersaturated vapour phase is initiated by a prototypical nucleation event. As such it is challenging to compute its rate from atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. In fact at realistic supersaturation conditions condensation occurs on time scales that far exceed what can be reached with conventional molecular dynamics methods. Another known problem in this context is the distortion of the free energy profile associated to nucleation due to the small, finite size of typical simulation boxes. In this work the problem of time scale is addressed with a recently developed enhanced sampling method while contextually correcting for finite size effects. We demonstrate our approach by studying the condensation of argon, and showing that characteristic nucleation times of the order of magnitude of hours can be reliably calculated, approaching realistic supersaturation conditions, thus bridging the gap between what standard molecular dynamics simulations can do and real physical systems., Comment: 9 pages, 7 figures, additional figures and data provided as supplementary information.

A key factor influencing a drug's efficacy is its residence time in the binding pocket of the host protein. Using atomistic computer simulation to predict this residence time and the associated dissociation process is a desirable but extremely difficult task due to the long timescales involved. This gets further complicated by the presence of biophysical factors such as steric and solvation effects. In this work, we perform molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the unbinding of a popular prototypical hydrophobic cavity-ligand system using a metadynamics based approach that allows direct assessment of kinetic pathways and parameters. When constrained to move in an axial manner, we find the unbinding time to be on the order of 4000 sec. In accordance with previous studies, we find that the ligand must pass through a region of sharp dewetting transition manifested by sudden and high fluctuations in solvent density in the cavity. When we remove the steric constraints on ligand, the unbinding happens predominantly by an alternate pathway, where the unbinding becomes 20 times faster, and the sharp dewetting transition instead becomes continuous. We validate the unbinding timescales from metadynamics through a Poisson analysis, and by comparison through detailed balance to binding timescale estimates from unbiased MD. This work demonstrates that enhanced sampling can be used to perform explicit solvent molecular dynamics studies at timescales previously unattainable, obtaining direct and reliable pictures of the underlying physio-chemical factors including free energies and rate constants., Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, supplementary PDF file, submitted
