Enerzyme: A Framework for Efficient Training of Reactive Neural Network Potentials for Enzyme Catalysis with Application to Methyltransferases

  • 设计模块化电荷感知神经网络,自动构建反应数据集。
  • 训练少于1000个构型即精准复现545原子酶体系的能垒和过渡态。
  • 可跨底物迁移,学习通用反应规律,适合酶机理研究者使用。

量子力学(QM)簇模型为酶反应机理研究提供有效框架,但计算成本高。神经网络势(NNPs)有望降低此成本,但酶体系因规模大、隐式溶剂环境、强极化及电荷转移而更具挑战性。本文提出Enerzyme软件框架,用于高效训练酶的神经网络势,以S-腺苷蛋氨酸依赖性甲基转移酶(MTases)的QM簇模型为例。该框架集成电荷感知的模块化神经网络结构,结合自动化QM簇构建与反应数据生成。其中,Enerzymette子包可实现基于NNP与DFT水平的反应路径探索。我们发现,迭代柔性扫描与弹珠弹性带计算对NNPs要求严于传统数据指标。然而,仅需少于1000个系统特异数据点训练的NNPs,即可在高达545原子的酶簇上以近化学精度再现反应能垒与过渡态结构。原子电荷的直接监督与一致的介电屏蔽显著提升模拟稳定性和准确性;多任务学习的原子电荷能捕捉电荷转移与极化趋势,并提供反应活性的化学意义描述符。此外,跨化学多样底物的儿茶酚O-甲基转移酶验证表明,随着训练数据扩展至多类酶,NNPs能学习到可迁移的反应规律。这些结果为加速酶机理研究奠定基础,并指导未来生物分子反应性神经网络势的发展。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Quantum mechanical (QM) cluster models provide an effective framework for mechanistic studies of enzymatic reactions but remain computationally demanding. Neural network potentials (NNPs) offer a promising route to reduce this cost, but enzymes present challenges beyond small molecules, including large system sizes, implicit-solvent environments, substantial polarization, and charge transfer. Here, we present an integrated software framework for efficient NNP training for mechanistic studies of enzymes, demonstrated on QM cluster models of S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyltransferases (MTases). Our Enerzyme code introduces modular electrostatics-aware NNP architectures and combines automated QM-cluster construction with reactive dataset generation. The Enerzymette subpackage automates reaction pathway exploration at both NNP and DFT levels. We show that iterative flexible scans and nudged elastic band calculations impose stricter requirements on NNPs than conventional dataset metrics. Nevertheless, NNPs trained on fewer than 1,000 system-specific datapoints reproduce reaction energetics and transition-state structures for MTase clusters containing up to 545 atoms with near-chemical accuracy. Direct supervision of atomic charges and consistent dielectric screening substantially improve simulation stability and accuracy, while multitask-learned atomic charges capture charge transfer and polarization trends and provide chemically meaningful descriptors of reactivity. Finally, transferability across chemically diverse catechol O-methyltransferase substrates indicates that NNPs learn generalizable reactivity patterns as training data expand across multiple enzymes. Together, these results establish a foundation for accelerating enzyme mechanistic studies and guide future NNP development for biomolecular reactivity.
