Abstract
Predicting protein binding with the material surface still remains a challenge. Here, a novel approach, platypus dual perception neural network (Platyper), was developed to describe the interactions in protein-surface systems involving bioceramics with BMPs. The resulting model integrates a graph convolutional neural network (GCN) based on interatomic potentials with a convolutional neural network (CNN) model based on images of molecular structures. This dual-vision approach, inspired by the platypus's adaptive sensory system, addresses the challenge of accurately predicting the complex binding and unbinding dynamics in steered molecular dynamics (SMD) simulations. The model's effectiveness is demonstrated through its application in predicting surface interactions in protein-ligand systems. Notably, Platyper improves computational efficiency compared to classical SMD-based methods and overcomes the limitations of GNN-based methods for large-scale atomic simulations. The incorporation of heat maps enhances model's interpretability, providing valuable insights into its predictive capabilities. Overall, Platyper represents a promising advancement in the accurate and efficient prediction of protein-surface interactions in the context of bioceramics and growth factors.
