Abstract:
We have developed a new Artificial Intelligence Boosted Molecular Dynamics (AIBMD) method. Probabilistic Bayesian neural network models were implemented to construct boost potentials that exhibit Gaussian distribution with minimized anharmonicity, thereby allowing for accurate energetic reweighting and enhanced sampling of molecular simulations. AIBMD was demonstrated on model systems of alanine dipeptide and the fast-folding protein and RNA structures. For alanine dipeptide, 30ns AIMBD simulations captured up to 83-125 times more backbone dihedral transitions than 1s conventional molecular dynamics (cMD) simulations and were able to accurately reproduce the original free energy profiles. Moreover, AIBMD sampled multiple folding and unfolding events within 300ns simulations of the chignolin model protein and identified low-energy conformational states comparable to previous simulation findings. Finally, AIBMD captured a general folding pathway of three hairpin RNAs with the GCAA, GAAA, and UUCG tetraloops. Based on Deep Learning neural network, AIBMD provides a powerful and generally applicable approach to boosting biomolecular simulations. AIBMD is available with open source in OpenMM at https://github.com/MiaoLab20/AIBMD/.
