We introduce a machine learning approach for extracting fine-grained representations of protein evolution from molecular dynamics datasets. Metastable switching linear dynamical systems extend standard switching models with a physically-inspired stability constraint. This constraint enables the learning of nuanced representations of protein dynamics that closely match physical reality. We derive an EM algorithm for learning, where the E-step extends the forward-backward algorithm for HMMs and the M-step requires the solution of large biconvex optimization problems. We construct an approximate semidefinite program solver based on the Frank-Wolfe algorithm and use it to solve the M-step. We apply our EM algorithm to learn accurate dynamics from large simulation datasets for the opioid peptide met-enkephalin and the proto-oncogene Src-kinase. Our learned models demonstrate significant improvements in temporal coherence over HMMs and standard switching models for met-enkephalin, and sample transition paths (possibly useful in rational drug design) for Src-kinase.
