Abstract

Comprehending the long-timescale dynamics of protein-ligand complexes is very important for drug discovery and structural biology, but it continues to be computationally challenging for large biomolecular systems. We introduce HemePLM-Diffuse, an innovative generative transformer model that is designed for accurate simulation of protein-ligand trajectories, inpaints the missing ligand fragments, and sample transition paths in systems with more than 10,000 atoms. HemePLM-Diffuse has features of SE(3)-Invariant tokenization approach for proteins and ligands, that utilizes time-aware cross-attentional diffusion to effectively capture atomic motion. We also demonstrate its capabilities using the 3CQV HEME system, showing enhanced accuracy and scalability compared to leading models such as TorchMD-Net, MDGEN, and Uni-Mol.
