AceFF: New ML Potential for Small Molecule Drug Discovery

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have introduced AceFF, a new machine learning interatomic potential (MLIP) designed for small molecule drug discovery. This model refines the TensorNet2 architecture and is trained on a large dataset of drug-like compounds to balance speed with accuracy. Two versions, AceFF-2 and AceFF-2-OMOL, are available, supporting various chemical elements and charged states, and have demonstrated state-of-the-art performance on benchmarks relevant to drug discovery. AI

IMPACT This new ML potential could accelerate drug discovery by providing faster and more accurate simulations for small molecules.

    AceFF: A State-of-the-Art Machine Learning Potential for Small Molecules

    arXiv:2601.00581v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce AceFF, a pre-trained machine learning interatomic potential (MLIP) optimized for small molecule drug discovery. While MLIPs have emerged as efficient alternatives to Density Functional Theory (DFT), generaliza…
