Augmenting Molecular Language Models with Local -gram Memory

Xinni Zhang, Zijing Liu, He Cao +2

Transformer-based language models for SMILES strings suffer from a locality gap: standard character-level tokenization fragments chemically meaningful motifs, forcing models to rep…

Pushing Biomolecular Utility-Diversity Frontiers with Supergroup Relative Policy Optimization

Xinwu Ye, He Cao, Hao Li +5

Biomolecular generators are often adapted with reward feedback to improve task-specific utility, but pushing utility alone can concentrate generation on a narrow family of candidat…

Learning the Interaction Prior for Protein-Protein Interaction Prediction: A Model-Agnostic Approach

Ziqi Gao, Chenyi Zi, Zijing Liu +3

Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are fundamental to cellular function and disease mechanisms. Current learning-based PPI predictors focus on learning powerful protein representa…

A Novel 4-D Dataset Paradigm for Studying Complete Ligand-Protein Dissociation Dynamics

Maodong Li, Jiying Zhang, Zhe Wang +7

The kinetics and dynamics of drug-protein binding and dissociation are crucial to understanding drug absorption and metabolism. Despite advances in artificial intelligence (AI) too…
