Excited to share our pre-print on the curation of a new bioactivity dataset for metabolic transformations. πŸ§ͺπŸ§‘β€πŸ’» We were surprised to find that roughly a quarter of our drug-metabolite-target combinations contain metabolites with retained or increased bioactivity relative to the parent drugs! #chemsky

We observe non-Arrhenius protein folding kinetics with temperature suggesting the model is learning realistic complex free energy landscapes qualitatively aligning with experimental data.

I'm excited to open the new year by sharing a new perspective paper.

I give a informal outline of MD and how it can interact with Generative AI. Then, I discuss how far the field has come since the seminal contributions, such as Boltzmann Generators, and what is still missing
