Molecular Shapes

Molecular Shapes

Molecules have characteristic shapes that are crucial for their function. The arrangement of various electron groups around the central atom dictates their molecular geometry. Electron pairs in the valence shell of a central atom will adopt an arrangement that minimizes repulsions between the electron pairs by maximizing the distance between them. The valence electrons form either bonding pairs, located primarily between bonded atoms, or lone pairs.
Two regions of electron density in a diatomic...

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.

Newman Projections

Newman Projections

Different notations are used to represent the three-dimensional structure of molecules on two-dimensional surfaces. One of the most commonly used representations is the dash-wedge formula. The dashed wedges, solid wedges, and the plane lines indicate the groups situated behind the plane, coming out of the plane, and in the plane, respectively.
The organic molecules rotate across the single bonds leading to numerous temporary three-dimensional structures of varying energy known as...

Fischer Projections

Fischer Projections

Learning to draw Fischer projections of molecules and understanding their relevance plays a crucial role in the visual depiction of organic molecules. A Fischer projection is a two-dimensional projection on a planar surface to simplify the three-dimensional wedge–dash representation of molecules. This is especially helpful in the case of molecules with multiple chiral centers that can be difficult to draw. Here, all the bonds of interest are represented as horizontal or vertical lines.

Additional Subnuclear Structures

Additional Subnuclear Structures

The eukaryotic nucleus is a double membrane-bound organelle that contains nearly all of the cell’s genetic material in the form of chromosomes. It is rightly called the “brain” of the cell as it shoulders the responsibility of responding to various physiological processes, stress, altered metabolic conditions, and other cellular signals.
The nucleus contains many membrane-less subnuclear organelles or nuclear bodies, such as nucleoli, Cajal bodies, speckles,...

Background:

Molecular representation is crucial for drug design and discovery, often relying on neural networks.
Existing methods depend on manual feature extraction from biological experiments, which is costly and prone to noise.
There is a need for automated, efficient, and accurate molecular representation learning.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a novel method, Substructural Hierarchical Attention Network (SuHAN), for effective molecular representation learning.
To discover inherent molecular characteristics by analyzing both atomic and substructural features.
To improve the accuracy and stability of molecular property prediction for drug discovery.

Main Methods:

SuHAN utilizes a cascaded architecture with atom-level and substructure-level layers.
Molecules (in SMILES format) are partitioned into substructural fragments.
Hierarchical attention is applied to extract features from both atomic and substructural perspectives.

Main Results:

SuHAN demonstrated competitive performance with significant improvements in accuracy and stability on biophysics and physiology datasets.
The model effectively excavates prominent structural features from a fine-grained viewpoint.
The fusion of atomic and substructural views reconstructs representative molecular patterns.

Conclusions:

Substructural segments and progressive hierarchical networks are key to effective molecular representation.
SuHAN offers a novel perspective for reconstructing overall molecular patterns through local structures.
The proposed method enhances molecular representation learning for downstream drug discovery tasks.
