Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental We extensively evaluate our approach, termed TPSDPS, on a synthetic system, small peptide, and challenging fast-folding proteins, demonstrating that it produces more realistic and diverse transition pathways than existing baselines.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Training 1: Initialize an empty replay buffer ˆD, an policy vθ, a scalar parameter w, the number of rollout I and training per rollout J, and an annealing schedule λstart = λ1 > > λI = λend. 2: for i = 1, . . . , I do
Open Source Code Yes We provide links to our project page and code.
Open Datasets Yes We extensively evaluate our method on the synthetic double-well potential with dual channels, Alanine Dipeptide, and four fast-folding proteins: Chignolin, Trp-cage, BBA, and BBL (Lindorff-Larsen et al., 2011).
Dataset Splits No All metrics are averaged over 1024 paths for the double-well system, and 64 paths for Alanine Dipeptide. All metrics are averaged over 64 paths.
Hardware Specification Yes RT and RI denote runtime (second) per rollout in training and inference on a single RTX A5000 GPU.
Software Dependencies Yes All real-world molecular systems are simulated using the Open MM library (Eastman et al., 2023). For the top two TICA components, we use Py EMMA library (Scherer et al., 2015)...
Experiment Setup Yes We use a 3-layer MLP for the double-well system, and a 6-layer MLP for real-world molecules with Re LU activation functions for neural bias force, potential, and scale. We update the parameters of the neural network with a learning rate of 0.0001, while the scalar parameter w is updated with a learning rate of 0.001. Table 3: Model configurations of TPS-DPS.
