Efficient transition path sampling for systems with multiple reaction pathways.
A new algorithm is developed for sampling transition paths and computing reaction rates. To illustrate the use of this method, we study a two-dimensional system that has two reaction pathways: one pathway is straight with a relatively high barrier and the other is roundabout with a lower barrier. The transition rate and the ratio between the numbers of the straight and roundabout transition pat...
متن کاملSampling-Based Coverage Path Planning for Inspection of Complex Structures
We present several new contributions in sampling-based coverage path planning, the task of finding feasible paths that give 100% sensor coverage of complex structures in obstaclefilled and visually occluded environments. First, we establish a framework for analyzing the probabilistic completeness of a sampling-based coverage algorithm, and derive results on the completeness and convergence of e...
متن کاملExploring chemical reaction mechanisms through harmonic Fourier beads path optimization.
Here, we apply the harmonic Fourier beads (HFB) path optimization method to study chemical reactions involving covalent bond breaking and forming on quantum mechanical (QM) and hybrid QM∕molecular mechanical (QM∕MM) potential energy surfaces. To improve efficiency of the path optimization on such computationally demanding potentials, we combined HFB with conjugate gradient (CG) optimization. Th...
متن کاملReaction coordinate of an enzymatic reaction revealed by transition path sampling.
The transition path sampling method previously applied in our group to the reaction catalyzed by lactate dehydrogenase was used to generate a transition path ensemble for this reaction. Based on analysis of the reactive trajectories generated, important residues behind the active site were implicated in a compressional motion that brought the donor-acceptor atoms of the hydride closer together....
متن کاملNew approaches for representing, analyzing and visualizing complex kinetic mechanisms
Complex kinetic representations involving thousands of reacting species and tens of thousands of reactions are currently required for the rational analysis of modern combustion systems. In order to represent, analyze and visualize effectively the ignition processes advanced computational techniques will be required. Recently, we introduced a novel concept that captured the principal elemental t...
