New GRACE model improves molecular collision cross section prediction

Researchers have developed GRACE (Geometric Residual Adduct Conditioning via Early-fusion), a novel machine learning model designed to predict collision cross sections (CCS) for molecular annotation. Unlike previous methods that often treat adduct identity as a late feature or ignore 3D structure, GRACE integrates adduct information early in the encoding process. This approach, which includes residual learning and learned adduct tokens with attention adapters, significantly improves prediction accuracy across various generalization splits and outperforms existing physics-based workflows on external test sets.

    Predicting Collision Cross Sections with GRACE: Geometric Residual Adduct Conditioning via Early-fusion

    arXiv:2609.12223v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Collision cross section (CCS), derived from ion mobility mass spectrometry, is a common descriptor for molecular annotation. Prediction is challenging for machine learning models because it reflects the size, shape, and ionization s…
