Some Remarks on Sampling Methods in Molecular Dynamics
We present an overview of sampling techniques in molecular dynamics. We start with phase-space sampling techniques, and recall that deterministic methods may suffer from non-ergodicity problems. Then, we focus on methods relying on stochastic perturbations of the usual Hamiltonian dynamics. We also consider the problem of free energy computations, where the measure to sample is supported by a s...
متن کاملEnhanced Conformational Sampling in Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Solvated Peptides: Fragment-Based Local Elevation Umbrella Sampling.
A new method, fragment-based local elevation umbrella sampling (FB-LEUS), is proposed to enhance the conformational sampling in explicit-solvent molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of solvated polymers. The method is derived from the local elevation umbrella sampling (LEUS) method [ Hansen and Hünenberger , J. Comput. Chem. 2010 , 31 , 1 - 23 ], which combines the local elevation (LE) conformat...
متن کاملTheoretical and Numerical Comparison of Some Sampling Methods for Molecular Dynamics
The purpose of the present article is to compare different phase-space sampling methods, such as purely stochastic methods (Rejection method, Metropolized independence sampler, Importance Sampling), stochastically perturbed Molecular Dynamics methods (Hybrid Monte Carlo, Langevin Dynamics, Biased Random Walk), and purely deterministic methods (Nosé-Hoover chains, Nosé-Poincaré and Recursive Mul...
متن کاملEvaluation of Enhanced Sampling Provided by Accelerated Molecular Dynamics with Hamiltonian Replica Exchange Methods
Many problems studied via molecular dynamics require accurate estimates of various thermodynamic properties, such as the free energies of different states of a system, which in turn requires well-converged sampling of the ensemble of possible structures. Enhanced sampling techniques are often applied to provide faster convergence than is possible with traditional molecular dynamics simulations....
متن کاملImportance Sampling
We describe an application of using a change of sampling density to get easier access to rare events during numeric simulations (this is called importance sampling). Our emphasis is on the derivation of the change of density instead of the algorithmic details. We work a small example to make the technique concrete.
