Ensemble-Conditioned Molecular Design

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.15077v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Molecular design is typically approached as a problem of finding molecules which can adopt a single bioactive conformation. In reality, molecules occupy a distribution over conformations, and many of the properties which determine whether a candidate is viable depend on that distribution rather than on any single conformer. We reframe molecular design as an optimisation of both the modes and properties of molecules' conformational ensembles, where modes can be represented as shapes, pharmacophore profiles or protein pockets, and properties are aggregate scalars computed over the whole distribution. To realise this we introduce ensemble-conditioned guidance, a framework which conditions 3D molecular generative models on both axes simultaneousl
