Learning Biomolecular Motion: The Physics-Informed Machine Learning Paradigm
- 将物理定律嵌入机器学习,让模型兼具数据拟合与机理可解释性。
- 实现长时程动力学与稀有事件模拟,自由能计算更准确。
- 适合做分子模拟、药物设计的研究者,尤其关注机制建模的团队。
统计学习与分子物理的融合正在改变生物分子系统的建模方式。物理信息机器学习(PIML)提供了一种系统框架,将数据驱动推断与物理约束结合,构建出准确、机理清晰、可泛化且能外推至观测范围之外的模型。本文综述了物理信息神经网络、算子学习、可微分子模拟及混合物力场的最新进展,重点聚焦长时程动力学、稀有事件与自由能估算。我们将这些方法视为解决‘生物分子闭包问题’的方案,在保留经典力场热力学一致性的同时,恢复超出其范围的未解析相互作用,保持机理可解释性。文章分析了理论基础、工具框架、计算权衡及未解难题,如模型表达能力与稳定性。最后提出跨机器学习、统计物理与计算化学的前沿研究方向,认为未来突破依赖于机制性归纳偏置与一体化可微物理学习框架。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The convergence of statistical learning and molecular physics is transforming our approach to modeling biomolecular systems. Physics-informed machine learning (PIML) offers a systematic framework that integrates data-driven inference with physical constraints, resulting in models that are accurate, mechanistic, generalizable, and able to extrapolate beyond observed domains. This review surveys recent advances in physics-informed neural networks and operator learning, differentiable molecular simulation, and hybrid physics-ML potentials, with emphasis on long-timescale kinetics, rare events, and free-energy estimation. We frame these approaches as solutions to the "biomolecular closure problem", recovering unresolved interactions beyond classical force fields while preserving thermodynamic consistency and mechanistic interpretability. We examine theoretical foundations, tools and frameworks, computational trade-offs, and unresolved issues, including model expressiveness and stability. We outline prospective research avenues at the intersection of machine learning, statistical physics, and computational chemistry, contending that future advancements will depend on mechanistic inductive biases, and integrated differentiable physical learning frameworks for biomolecular simulation and discovery.
