A novel deep learning algorithm called flow matching for reaction coordinates (FMRC) is designed to identify optimal reaction coordinates (RC) in biomolecular reversible dynamics. FMRC leverages mathematical principles like lumpability and decomposability, reformulated into a conditional probability framework using deep generative models. Unlike traditional methods, FMRC doesn’t explicitly learn the transfer operator or its eigenfunctions, instead encoding leading eigenfunction dynamics into low-dimensional RC spaces. Comparing FMRC with state-of-the-art algorithms on biomolecular systems demonstrates its superiority in constructing Markov state models (MSM). Additionally, FMRC shows promise for bias deposition in enhanced sampling methods and MSM construction.

A new way to understand how molecules move is called flow matching for reaction coordinates (FMRC). It’s a special kind of computer program that helps scientists figure out the best paths for molecules to follow. FMRC uses math to find patterns in how molecules behave, and it does this really well compared to other methods. This could help scientists study complex systems like biomolecules more easily.
