用多体交互模型从质谱图生成分子结构,提升异构体区分能力。

De Novo Molecular Generation from Mass Spectra via Many-Body Enhanced Diffusion

  • 引入多体注意力机制和高阶边建模,捕捉复杂断裂信息。
  • 在两个基准上性能最高提升230%,显著优于现有方法。
  • 适合代谢研究与新药发现中的分子结构逆向解析任务。

从质谱分析中生成分子结构是理解细胞代谢和发现新化合物的基础。尽管串联质谱(MS/MS)可实现高通量获取碎片指纹,但这些谱图常反映多个原子和键协同断裂的高阶相互作用——对解析复杂异构体和非局域断裂机制至关重要。然而,现有方法多采用原子为中心或成对交互建模,忽略了高阶边交互,难以系统捕捉分子生成所需的关键多体特性。为此,我们提出MBGen,一种基于多体增强扩散框架的从质谱图进行从头分子结构生成的方法。通过集成多体注意力机制与高阶边建模,MBGen全面利用MS/MS谱图中蕴含的丰富结构信息,实现高精度的从头生成与异构体区分。在NPLIB1和MassSpecGym两个基准上的实验表明,MBGen性能超越当前最优方法达230%,凸显了多体建模在质谱驱动分子生成中的科学价值与实用意义。进一步分析与消融实验显示,该方法有效捕捉高阶交互,对复杂异构体及非局域断裂信息具有更强敏感性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Molecular structure generation from mass spectrometry is fundamental for understanding cellular metabolism and discovering novel compounds. Although tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) enables the high-throughput acquisition of fragment fingerprints, these spectra often reflect higher-order interactions involving the concerted cleavage of multiple atoms and bonds-crucial for resolving complex isomers and non-local fragmentation mechanisms. However, most existing methods adopt atom-centric and pairwise interaction modeling, overlooking higher-order edge interactions and lacking the capacity to systematically capture essential many-body characteristics for structure generation. To overcome these limitations, we present MBGen, a Many-Body enhanced diffusion framework for de novo molecular structure Generation from mass spectra. By integrating a many-body attention mechanism and higher-order edge modeling, MBGen comprehensively leverages the rich structural information encoded in MS/MS spectra, enabling accurate de novo generation and isomer differentiation for novel molecules. Experimental results on the NPLIB1 and MassSpecGym benchmarks demonstrate that MBGen achieves superior performance, with improvements of up to 230% over state-of-the-art methods, highlighting the scientific value and practical utility of many-body modeling for mass spectrometry-based molecular generation. Further analysis and ablation studies show that our approach effectively captures higher-order interactions and exhibits enhanced sensitivity to complex isomeric and non-local fragmentation information.
