Predicting Enantioselectivity of Ruthenium-Catalyzed Ketone Hydrogenation with 3D Structure-Based Deep Learning.

| Source: Journal of the American Chemical Society

We report machine-learning (ML) models that predict with high accuracy the enantioselectivity of ketone hydrogenation with Noyori-type diphosphine-diamine catalysts. To mitigate bias in published data, we combined a data set curated from the literature with >1,000 examples from our own high-throughput experimentation. We demonstrate that 3D graph neural networks, trained on 3D representations derived from the enantiodetermining transition state, outperform models based on 2D graphs, molecular

We report machine-learning (ML) models that predict with high accuracy the enantioselectivity of ketone hydrogenation with Noyori-type diphosphine-diamine catalysts. To mitigate bias in published data, we combined a data set curated from the literature with >1,000 examples from our own high-throughput experimentation. We demonstrate that 3D graph neural networks, trained on 3D representations derived from the enantiodetermining transition state, outperform models based on 2D graphs, molecular fingerprints, and descriptors derived from semiempirical quantum calculations. These results indicate that models trained on 3D structural representations that reflect catalyst-substrate interactions relevant to enantioselectivity can accurately extrapolate to structures distinct from those in the training set.

PLK1-mediated phosphorylation of PHGDH reprograms serine metabolism in advanced prostate cancer.

Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of cancer, enabling tumor cells to meet their increased biosynthetic and energetic demands. Although cells possess the capacity for de novo serine biosynthesis, most transformed cancer cells preferentially rely on exogenous serine uptake to sustain their growth, yet the regulatory mechanisms driving this metabolic dependency remain poorly understood. Here, we uncover a mechanism by which Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1), frequently overexpressed in prostate cancer,

When coordination is avoidable: A monotonicity analysis of organizational tasks.

Organizations devote substantial resources to coordination, yet which tasks actually require it for correctness remains unclear. The problem is acute in multiagent AI systems, where coordination cost is directly measurable and can exceed the cost of the work itself. Distributed systems theory provides a precise criterion: Coordination is required when a task specification is nonmonotonic, meaning that as histories grow, new information can invalidate prior conclusions. Here we show that Thompson

Dapagliflozin and Acute Kidney Injury Following Cardiac Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Two percent to 50% of patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery experience acute kidney injury (AKI) postoperatively. Medications to prevent AKI after elective cardiac surgery have not been identified. In patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery, to evaluate whether initiating dapagliflozin 1 day prior to surgery reduces the incidence of AKI at 7 days after cardiac surgery, compared with placebo. Multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial conducted at 2 academ

Context-aware multimodal AI navigates hidden pathways in five centuries of art evolution.

The rise of multimodal generative AI transforms the intersection of technology and art, offering richer insights into large-scale artworks. While significant research has focused on their creative potential, their ability to represent artworks in latent spaces remains underexamined. We use generative AI, specifically Stable Diffusion, to analyze 500 y of Western paintings by extracting two types of latent information with the model: formal aspects (e.g., colors) and contextual aspects (e.g., sub

Advancing cancer detection and treatment using longitudinal routine clinical data.

Cancer management remains fragmented across its continuum, from late-stage diagnosis and salvage therapies to non-personalized surveillance. Here, we present Oncoformer, a unified multimodal transformer model trained on the China Oncology Multimodal Prediction and Surveillance Study (COMPASS) cohort (3.67 million individuals, 17.7 million clinical visits) and validated on independent external cohorts, including the UK Biobank. Oncoformer integrates longitudinal electronic health records with che
