Introduction

We predict the mass spectrometry spectra of molecules using deep learning techniques applied to various molecule representations. The performance behavior is evaluated with a custom-made library matching task. In this task we identify molecules by matching its spectra to a library of labeled spectra. As a baseline, this library contains all of the molecules in the NIST main library, which mimics the behavior currently used by experimental chemists. To test our predictions, we replace portions of the library with spectra predictions from our model. This task is described in more detail below.

Required Packages:

It is recommended to use Anaconda with a Python 3.6 environment to install these packages.

• RDKit
• Tensorflow

Quickstart Guide for Making Model Predictions

1. Create a directory and download the weights for the model.

$ MODEL_WEIGHTS_DIR=/home/path/to/model
$ mkdir $MODEL_WEIGHTS_DIR
$ pushd $MODEL_WEIGHTS_DIR
$ curl -o https://storage.googleapis.com/deep-molecular-massspec/massspec_weights/massspec_weights.zip
$ unzip massspec_weights.zip
$ popd

2. Run the model prediction on the example molecule

$ python make_spectra_prediction.py \
--input_file=examples/pentachlorobenzene.sdf \
--output_file=/tmp/annotated.sdf \
--weights_dir=$MODEL_WEIGHTS_DIR/massspec_weights
