Molecular Models

Molecular Models

Physical models representing molecular architectures of chemical compounds play essential roles in understanding chemistry. The use of molecular models makes it easier to visualize the structures and shapes of atoms and molecules.

Chemical Shift: Internal References and Solvent Effects

Chemical Shift: Internal References and Solvent Effects

In an NMR sample, precise measurement of the absolute absorption frequencies of nuclei is difficult. A standard internal reference compound is added, and the frequency difference between the reference signal and sample signals is measured.
The internal reference compound generally used in NMR spectroscopy is tetramethylsilane (TMS). TMS is preferred because it is chemically inert, soluble in NMR solvents, and easily removable. Also, the highly shielded methyl protons in TMS yield an intense...

Machine learning applications

Background:

Implicit solvent models are crucial for biomolecular simulations.
The solvent-excluded surface (SES) is a key component of these models.
Classical SES algorithms face limitations in parallelization and derivative calculation.

Purpose of the Study:

To overcome limitations of traditional SES computation methods.

Main Methods:

A three-step machine learning training process was employed.
The developed model was integrated into the Amber/PBSA program.
Performance was evaluated using molecular surfaces and reaction field energy calculations.

Main Results:

The machine-learned SES achieved over 95% agreement with classical methods.
The new SES demonstrated high stability and overlap with traditional SES.
Computational efficiency was improved by approximately 2.5 times on CPU platforms.
Reaction field energies showed high consistency with a 1% average deviation.

Conclusions:

The machine-learned SES offers a viable, efficient alternative to classical methods.
Its level set formulation is suitable for applications requiring surface derivatives or parallel computing.
Potential for significant performance gains on GPU platforms is anticipated.
