Escaping free-energy minima.
We introduce a powerful method for exploring the properties of the multidimensional free energy surfaces (FESs) of complex many-body systems by means of coarse-grained non-Markovian dynamics in the space defined by a few collective coordinates. A characteristic feature of these dynamics is the presence of a history-dependent potential term that, in time, fills the minima in the FES, allowing th...
متن کاملDNA rings with multiple energy minima.
Within the context of DNA rings, we analyze the relationship between intrinsic shape and the existence of multiple stable equilibria, either nicked or cyclized with the same link. A simple test, based on a perturbation expansion of symmetry breaking within a continuum elastic rod model, provides good predictions of the occurrence of such multiple equilibria. The reliability of these predictions...
متن کاملAccelerating the search for global minima on potential energy surfaces using machine learning.
Controlling molecule-surface interactions is key for chemical applications ranging from catalysis to gas sensing. We present a framework for accelerating the search for the global minimum on potential surfaces, corresponding to stable adsorbate-surface structures. We present a technique using Bayesian inference that enables us to predict converged density functional theory potential energies wi...
متن کاملSufficient Conditions for Capillary Surfaces to Be Energy Minima
It is shown that if a capillary surface satisfies conditions relating to the eigenvalues of a certain differential operator, then the surface is a constrained strict local minimum for the relevant energy functional. The space of perturbations of the surface is first defined in terms of graphs of functions in curvilinear coordinates and then related to perturbations of capillary surfaces which a...
متن کاملSimultaneous NMR characterisation of multiple minima in the free energy landscape of an RNA UUCG tetraloop.
RNA molecules in solution tend to undergo structural fluctuations of relatively large amplitude and to populate a range of different conformations some of which with low populations. It is still very challenging, however, to characterise the structures of these low populated states and to understand their functional roles. In the present study, we address this problem by using NMR residual dipo...
