This project is jointly funded by Division of Mathematical Sciences/Mathematical Biology Program and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).A major trend of biological sciences in the 21st century is their transition from quantitative, phenomenological, and descriptive to quantitative, analytical, and predictive. Fundamental challenges that hinder the current understanding of biomolecular structure-function relationships, which is the central theme of biological sciences, are their tremendous structural complexity and excessively large datasets. The project will address grand challenges in understanding the biomolecular structure-function relationship from massive datasets by introducing new concepts in graph theory and differential geometry. The results from this project will open a new direction and foster similar approaches in biological data analysis. The graduate and undergraduate students will receive training in data analysis, biological modeling, and algorithm development from this project. In addition, novel mathematical frameworks will be available in the software packages to ensure extensive usage by the community of researchers throughout biology, computer science, and mathematics.This project will develop new spectral graph theory and differential geometry-based approaches to revolutionize the current practice in biomolecular data analysis and modeling. First, investigators will introduce multiscale weighted colored algebraic graphs (spectral graphs) to reduce the structural complexity of biomolecular data. These methods will be tailored for various biological systems, such as protein binding to protein, ligand, DNA, and RNA, protein folding stability changes upon mutation, drug toxicity, solvation, solubility, and partition coefficient. Secondly, investigators will construct low-dimensional element interactive manifolds for the first time to properly encode chemical and biological information. These methods will be carefully integrated with advanced machine learning or deep learning algorithms to uncover biomolecular structure-function relationships. Finally, investigators will extensively validate the proposed methods on a variety of datasets, optimize these mathematical learning strategies using parallel and GPU architectures, and develop user-friendly software packages or online servers for researchers who might not have training in mathematics and machine learning.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

本项目由数学科学部/数学生物学计划和促进竞争性研究计划（EPSCoR）共同资助。21世纪生物科学的一个主要趋势是从定量、现象学和描述性转向定量、分析和预测性。阻碍目前对生物分子结构-功能关系的理解的基本挑战是其巨大的结构复杂性和过大的数据集，这是生物科学的中心主题。该项目将通过引入图论和微分几何中的新概念，解决从大规模数据集中理解生物分子结构-功能关系的巨大挑战。该项目的结果将开辟一个新的方向，并促进生物数据分析的类似方法。研究生和本科生将从该项目中接受数据分析，生物建模和算法开发方面的培训。此外，新的数学框架将在软件包中提供，以确保整个生物学，计算机科学和数学领域的研究人员广泛使用。该项目将开发新的光谱图理论和微分几何为基础的方法，以彻底改变目前的生物分子数据分析和建模实践。首先，研究人员将引入多尺度加权彩色代数图（光谱图），以减少生物分子数据的结构复杂性。这些方法将针对各种生物系统进行定制，例如蛋白质与蛋白质、配体、DNA和RNA的结合，突变时蛋白质折叠稳定性的变化，药物毒性，溶剂化，溶解度和分配系数。其次，研究人员将首次构建低维元素交互流形，以正确编码化学和生物信息。这些方法将与先进的机器学习或深度学习算法仔细整合，以揭示生物分子的结构-功能关系。最后，研究人员将在各种数据集上广泛验证所提出的方法，使用并行和GPU架构优化这些数学学习策略，开发用户-友好的软件包或在线服务器的研究人员谁可能没有在数学和机器学习的培训。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得支持的评估使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
