Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the interdisciplinary fields of artificial intelligence and bioinformatics, and in particular to a method for predicting multimodal enzyme kinetic parameters adapted to protein language models. Background Technology

[0002] Enzymes, as core functional components in biocatalytic processes, directly quantify catalytic efficiency and substrate affinity through their kinetic parameters (such as transition number kcat, Michaelis constant Km, and inhibition constant Ki). These parameters serve as crucial foundational data for synthetic biology component screening, metabolic pathway optimization design, and targeted drug development. Traditional experimental methods for determining enzyme kinetic parameters are not only time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly, but also fail to meet the demands of high-throughput screening applications. With the deep penetration of artificial intelligence technology into computational biology, deep learning-based enzyme kinetic parameter prediction models have become an important research direction replacing traditional experimental methods, significantly improving parameter acquisition efficiency.

[0003] In recent years, enzyme kinetic parameter prediction methods have undergone multiple rounds of technological iteration, gradually evolving from early shallow machine learning models to deep learning architectures that integrate multimodal information. Three main technical paths have emerged: First, shallow fusion architectures based on sequence and molecular structure. While these methods achieve a preliminary combination of multimodal information, the depth of feature interaction is insufficient. Second, prediction architectures based on pre-trained protein language models (PLMs) acquire deep evolutionary and biochemical semantic features of enzyme sequences through feature freezing or fine-tuning, significantly improving prediction accuracy and becoming the current mainstream technical solution. Third, geometric enhancement architectures that introduce three-dimensional structural information extract three-dimensional geometric topological features of enzyme active sites through models such as isomorphic graph neural networks, attempting to compensate for the lack of spatial structural information in one-dimensional sequence representation, and hoping to further improve the model's ability to model enzyme-catalyzed reaction mechanisms.

[0004] Despite the progress made in existing technologies, significant limitations remain in simulating real enzymatic reactions, extracting the value of geometric structures, and ensuring the stability of multimodal fusion. These limitations severely restrict the predictive accuracy and generalization ability of the models. Specifically, the lack of modeling for the dynamic mechanisms of enzymatic reactions at different stages is a major issue. Real enzymatic reactions involve a dynamic process of "substrate-specific recognition - active site conformational adaptation - catalytic reaction occurrence." However, existing multimodal prediction models generally employ static fusion strategies. Whether through simple feature splicing or single cross-attention interaction, neither differentiates the modeling of the two key stages of "substrate recognition" and "conformational adaptation." This static modeling approach fails to capture the dynamic conformational changes of the enzyme's active site after substrate binding, making it difficult for the model to accurately characterize the specific interaction mechanism between the enzyme and the substrate, resulting in deviations between the predicted results and the actual enzymatic reaction patterns.

[0005] Insufficient utilization of the geometric heterogeneity of active sites: Enzyme active sites exhibit significant structural diversity and conformational flexibility. When binding to different substrates, the active site pockets undergo specific local conformational adjustments to adapt to the substrate structure. Existing methods for introducing 3D structural information mostly employ a single shared network module to process the geometric features of all active sites, failing to design differentiated feature extraction mechanisms for pocket structures with different geometric topologies. In particular, there is a lack of adaptive modeling strategies that can dynamically match pocket conformational changes, failing to fully explore the regulatory value of geometric structural information on enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Consequently, the introduction of 3D structural information fails to achieve the expected performance improvement, and in some scenarios, feature redundancy even reduces model generalization.

[0006] Lack of distributional stability in multimodal feature fusion: Existing methods generally lack effective distributional alignment constraint mechanisms when fusing sequential semantic features and 3D geometric features from pre-trained protein language models. Since sequential semantic features and geometric features originate from different data distribution spaces, direct forced fusion easily leads to semantic conflicts or one feature being overwhelmed by the other, disrupting the biochemical semantic manifold originally learned by the protein language model and causing a "catastrophic forgetting" of prior biochemical knowledge. Furthermore, during model training, if complex architectures such as multi-expert models are used, uneven utilization of expert networks often occurs, further exacerbating the instability of the feature space. This results in extremely poor robustness of the model in prediction tasks involving cross-datasets and out-of-distribution samples, making it difficult to meet practical application requirements.

[0007] Furthermore, existing models that rely on multi-expert networks often fail to design effective load balancing mechanisms, resulting in some expert networks being idle for extended periods while others are overloaded, thus failing to fully leverage the adaptability advantages of multi-expert architectures to complex heterogeneous features. At the same time, the lack of constraints on the stability of feature space distribution during model training makes it difficult for trained models to maintain stable predictive performance when processing unknown enzyme-related data, limiting their generalization ability.

[0008] In summary, accurately modeling the dynamic process of enzyme-catalyzed reactions, efficiently utilizing the geometric heterogeneity information of active sites, ensuring the distributional stability of multimodal feature fusion, and simultaneously optimizing the utilization balance and feature space stability of expert networks during model training have become core issues that current enzyme kinetic parameter prediction technologies urgently need to address. Therefore, this invention proposes a multimodal enzyme kinetic parameter prediction method adapted to protein language models. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems in the existing processing methods in the background art that lack modeling of the dynamic mechanism of enzyme-catalyzed reactions and insufficient utilization of three-dimensional structures, and to propose a multimodal enzyme kinetic parameter prediction method adapted to protein language models.

[0014] Step 4: Conformation adaptation feature extraction based on hybrid expert network: Combining substrate recognition conditional features and three-dimensional geometric features of active sites, the hybrid expert network is dynamically activated to generate deep features for the conformation adaptation stage.

[0015] Step 5, Enzyme-Substrate Distribution Alignment Feature Correction: Constrain the feature distribution distance through the enzyme-substrate distribution alignment module to ensure that the multimodal fusion features are consistent with the biochemical semantic manifold of the pre-trained protein language model;

[0026] Optionally, the cross-attention module mentioned in step three is a molecular recognition cross-attention module;

[0027] The specific process is as follows:

[0028] Embedding sequence semantics features Chemical characteristics of the substrate The input molecular recognition cross-attention module injects substrate information into the enzyme sequence representation through a cross-attention mechanism, generating conditional features for the substrate recognition stage. Using trainable projection matrices By calculating attention weights and context updates, intermediate features that aggregate substrate information are obtained. , The set of real numbers is represented by the formula:

[0029]

[0030]

[0031] The intermediate features are fused back into the enzyme sequence representation through residual connections and layer normalization to generate conditional features for the substrate recognition stage:

[0039] Optionally, the enzyme-substrate distribution alignment module described in step five uses a Gaussian kernel function to calculate the maximum mean difference index to constrain the distribution distance, thus constraining the features within the same semantic manifold. Specifically, it defines global feature representations for different stages:

[0040] ,

[0041] in These correspond to the initial sequence, MRCA output, and G-MoE output, respectively; using the Gaussian kernel function. Calculate the maximum mean difference:

[0053] Optionally, the training process in step eight is used to maintain the balance of expert network utilization and the stability of feature space distribution;

[0054] The trained model predicts the parameters to be tested by processing data related to unknown enzymes.

[0055] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0056] This invention proposes an enzyme-reaction bridging adapter, which, through the synergistic effect of a molecular recognition cross-attention module and a geometric perception hybrid expert module, achieves phased conditional modeling of substrate-specific recognition and active site conformational adaptation. This overcomes the limitation of existing technologies that simplify dynamic catalytic processes to static feature splicing. Specifically, the MRCA module simulates the enzyme's specific recognition process of the substrate, enabling enzyme sequence characterization to be specifically adjusted according to the chemical properties of the substrate; the G-MoE module simulates the induced fit mechanism of enzyme-substrate binding, dynamically adapting to the conformational changes of the active site pocket. This invention accurately replicates the core dynamic links of real enzymatic reactions, enabling the model to capture the specific interaction rules between the enzyme and the substrate, significantly improving the consistency between the predicted kinetic parameters and the actual catalytic mechanism.

[0057] This invention constructs a multi-structure expert network through a G-MoE module, combines the three-dimensional geometric features of active sites with substrate recognition features to generate a joint routing vector, and dynamically activates the top-k expert networks that adapt to the current pocket structure for low-rank adaptive transformation. This strategy abandons the drawback of the traditional single shared module processing all geometric structures, can accurately capture the local conformational dynamic changes of the active site pocket when different substrates bind, fully explore the regulatory value of three-dimensional geometric information on enzyme-catalyzed reactions, and effectively solve the problem of poor effect of introducing three-dimensional structures in the prior art, and even reduced generalization due to feature redundancy. In particular, it improves the prediction accuracy for complex scenarios such as highly active mutants.

[0058] Furthermore, by introducing an enzyme-substrate distribution alignment (ESDA) module, the maximum mean difference (MMD) index is used to constrain the distribution distance of sequence semantic features, substrate recognition features, and conformational adaptation features, ensuring that the multimodal fusion features are always kept within the biochemical semantic manifold of the pre-trained protein language model (PLM). This effectively solves the semantic conflict and feature submersion problems caused by the direct fusion of sequence semantic features and three-dimensional geometric features in existing technologies.

[0059] This invention employs a heteroscedastic Gaussian regression prediction head. By outputting the predicted mean and logarithmic variance, it can not only achieve high-precision regression prediction of key kinetic parameters such as enzyme turnover number (kcat), Michaelis constant (Km), and inhibition constant (Ki), but also estimate the uncertainty of the prediction results, providing a reliable confidence reference for subsequent experimental verification. Furthermore, the staged multimodal fusion strategy enables the model to integrate complementary information from enzyme sequence, substrate chemical structure, and the three-dimensional structure of active sites, generating deeper features with greater biochemical interpretability. Compared to existing single-modal or shallow fusion models, both prediction accuracy and generalization ability are significantly improved.

[0060] In summary, this invention utilizes an enzyme reaction bridging adapter and enzyme-substrate distribution alignment technology to model the enzyme-catalyzed dynamic process in stages. Combined with a distribution alignment strategy, it achieves high-precision prediction of enzyme kinetic parameters, significantly improving the accuracy and robustness across datasets.
