Research: PROTEIN-DYNAMICS-MODELING Folding Project #19600

Summary The AI4Science Group at Freie Universität Berlin develops machine learning methods for physical sciences, with a focus on physics-constrained learning algorithms, complex dynamical systems analysis, efficient generative learning methods for statistical mechanics, and highly accurate machine learning methods for quantum mechanics.

They are an interdisciplinary team of mathematicians, chemists, physicists, and computer scientists. Details The primary objective of this project is to develop large-scale artificial intelligence (AI) models to efficiently sample protein dynamics and predict the stability of folded states and protein-protein interactions.

Being able to do this efficiently and accurately would be a game-changer for the prediction of virus mutants and the design of therapies for various diseases.

AI techniques have demonstrated exceptional performance on benchmark systems and have the potential to vastly speed up computations yet maintain comparable levels of accuracy as classical molecular dynamics simulations. The project aims to generate a comprehensive dataset of small protein systems that will provide the necessary information for creating the next generation of AI models for protein simulations.

We will collaborate with the Clementi Group at Freie Universität Berlin to achieve this goal.
