Reaction-Transformation-Aware Flow Matching for Generalizable Transition State Generation
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.14076v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transition-state (TS) structures define the energetic barriers and mechanistic pathways of elementary chemical reactions, yet their identification remains computationally demanding because conventional saddle-point searches require expensive quantum-mechanical calculations. Recent machine-learning approaches have accelerated TS generation by predicting structures from reaction endpoint information, but they primarily learn geometric correspondence between endpoints and TSs, leaving the structural transformations underlying elementary reactions
