Comparison of HEAD vs. PoseBusters (Conformation Validity)

A detailed comparison highlights the strengths of HEAD over traditional geometric methods for assessing ligand conformation validity and ligand-protein interactions.

Feature HEAD (Our Model) PoseBusters (Benchmark)
Methodology
  • AI-derived force field (MLFF) for atomic energies, energy-based criteria, information entropy.
  • Geometric metrics (bond lengths, angles, Van der Waals overlap), global MM energy threshold.
Speed
  • 30x faster than PoseBusters.
  • Slower, geometry-based calculations.
Accuracy (GM-5K ΔE 200-600 kcal/mol)
  • Outperforms (Higher F1 scores).
  • Comparable/Lower F1 scores.
Atomic/Torsion Detail
  • Provides atomic-level energy assessment, identifies specific anomalies.
  • Global energy metric, limited atomic detail.
Strengths
  • High efficiency for high-throughput, sensitive to subtle electronic interactions, covers broad chemical space.
  • Effective for obvious geometric anomalies, widely adopted benchmark.
Limitations
  • Current ANI-2x limited to H, C, N, O, F, S, Cl. Decreased discriminative power for small anomalies.
  • Missing definitions for some geometric anomalies. Relies on representativeness of reference set.

Case Study: HEAD's Superiority in Clash Detection

A specific example demonstrating HEAD's ability to detect subtle hydrogen-hydrogen clashes, which traditional geometry-based methods often miss.

Hydrogen-Hydrogen Clash Detection

HEAD identified hydrogen-hydrogen clashes that PoseBusters overlooked due to its reliance on heavy-atom distances. Our energy-based framework accounts for both steric and electrostatic contributions from heavy and hydrogen atoms, demonstrating enhanced sensitivity to subtle electronic interactions. This is crucial for accurately assessing the validity of deep learning-generated 3D molecules.

Case Study: TED's Performance with Sigma-Hole Interactions

An illustration of TED's improved accuracy in predicting torsion energies compared to GFN2-xTB, particularly in complex sigma-hole interaction scenarios.

GFN2-xTB Overestimates Torsion Energy

TED demonstrated superior accuracy compared to GFN2-xTB, especially in scenarios like sigma-hole interactions where GFN2-xTB overestimates torsion energy. For instance, the torsion fragment involving sulfur and carbonyl oxygen at 180° dihedral angle shows GFN2-xTB inaccurately treating these interactions, which TED-Model correctly captures due to its DFT fine-tuning.
