Abstract
Deep learning has proven promising in biological and chemical applications, aiding in accurate predictions of properties such as atomic forces, energies, and material band gaps. Traditional methods with rotational invariance, one of the most crucial physical laws for predictions made by machine learning, have relied on Fourier transforms or specialized convolution filters, leading to complex model design and reduced accuracy and efficiency. However, models without rotational invariance exhibit poor generalization ability across datasets. Addressing this contradiction, this work proposes a rotationally invariant graph neural network, named RotNet, for accurate and accelerated quantum mechanical calculations that can overcome the generalization deficiency caused by rotations of molecules. RotNet ensures rotational invariance through an effective transformation and learns distance and angular information from atomic coordinates. Benchmark experiments on three datasets (protein fragments, electronic materials, and QM9) demonstrate that the proposed RotNet framework outperforms popular baselines and generalizes well to spatial data with varying rotations. The high accuracy, efficiency, and fast convergence of RotNet suggest that it has tremendous potential to significantly facilitate studies of protein dynamics simulation and materials engineering while maintaining physical plausibility.

Abstract
Depression, a mental disorder that plagues the world, is a burden on many families. There is a great need for new, fast-acting antidepressants to be developed. N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) is an ionotropic glutamate receptor that plays an important role in learning and memory processes and its TMD region is considered as a potential target to treat depression. However, due to the unclear binding sites and pathways, the mechanism of drug binding lacks basic explanation, which brings great complexity to the development of new drugs. In this study, we investigated the binding affinity and mechanisms of an FDA-approved antidepressant (S-ketamine) and seven potential antidepressants (R-ketamine, memantine, lanicemine, dextromethorphan, Ro 25-6981, ifenprodil, and traxoprodil) targeting the NMDA receptor by ligand-protein docking and molecular dynamics simulations. The results indicated that Ro 25-6981 has the strongest binding affinity to the TMD region of the NMDA receptor among the eight selected drugs, suggesting its potential effective inhibitory effect. We also calculated the critical binding-site residues at the active site and found that residues Leu124 and Met63 contributed the most to the binding energy by decomposing the free energy contributions on a per-residue basis. We further compared S-ketamine and its chiral molecule, R-ketamine, and found that R-ketamine had a stronger binding capacity to the NMDA receptor. This study provides a computational reference for the treatment of depression targeting NMDA receptors, and the proposed results will provide potential strategies for further antidepressant development and is a useful resource for the future discovery of fast-acting antidepressant candidates.
