Self-supervised learning (SSL) methods have achieved remarkable success in learning image representations allowing invariances in them — but therefore discarding transformation information that some computer vision tasks actually require. While recent approaches attempt to address this limitation by learning equivariant features using linear operators in feature space, they impose restrictive assumptions that constrain flexibility and generalization.

Proton transfer (PT) plays a key role in the function of several transporters. Here, we report our recent quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) studies of PT processes in two members of the solute carrier 17 family, the human vesicular glutamate transporter VGLUT2 and its bacterial homolog and the D-galactonate transporter (DgoT).
