Graph Nets for Partial Charge Prediction
(1909.07903)Abstract
Atomic partial charges are crucial parameters for Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations, molecular mechanics calculations, and virtual screening, as they determine the electrostatic contributions to interaction energies. Current methods for calculating partial charges, however, are either slow and scale poorly with molecular size (quantum chemical methods) or unreliable (empirical methods). Here, we present a new charge derivation method based on Graph Netsa set of update and aggregate functions that operate on molecular topologies and propagate information thereonthat could approximate charges derived from Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations with high accuracy and an over 500-fold speed up.
