Rugged Free-Energy Landscapes – An Introduction
Understanding the static and even more the dynamical behavior of complex physical systems is one of the most challenging problems of current research in physics, chemistry and biology. Paradigmatic examples of condensed matter physics are spin glasses and structural glasses. More recently, in life sciences, the rapid advances in computational biology have added the exploration of the properties...
متن کاملMetadynamic sampling of the free-energy landscapes of proteins coupled with a Monte Carlo algorithm.
Metadynamics is a powerful computational tool to obtain the free-energy landscape of complex systems. The Monte Carlo algorithm has proven useful to calculate thermodynamic quantities associated with simplified models of proteins, and thus to gain an ever-increasing understanding on the general principles underlying the mechanism of protein folding. We show that it is possible to couple metadyn...
متن کاملBiased Metropolis Sampling for Rugged Free Energy Landscapes
Metropolis simulations of all-atom models of peptides (i.e. small proteins) are considered. Inspired by the funnel picture of Bryngelson and Wolyness, a transformation of the updating probabilities of the dihedral angles is defined, which uses probability densities from a higher temperature to improve the algorithmic performance at a lower temperature. The method is suitable for canonical as we...
متن کاملNoise-induced transitions in rugged energy landscapes.
We consider the problem of an overdamped Brownian particle moving in multiscale potential with N+1 characteristic length scales: the macroscale and N separated microscales. We show that the coarse-grained dynamics is given by an overdamped Langevin equation with respect to the free energy and with a space-dependent diffusion tensor, the calculation of which requires the solution of N fully coup...
متن کاملFree Energy Computation by Monte Carlo Integration
The principles behind the computation of protein-ligand binding free energies by Monte Carlo integration are described in detail. The simulation provides gas-phase binding free energies that can be converted to aqueous energies by solvation corrections. The direct integration simulation has several characteristics beneficial to free-energy calculations. One is that the number of parameters that...
