Altruistic Metadynamics: Multisystem Biased Simulation
2016
Hošek, Petr | Toulcová, Daniela | Bortolato, Andrea | Spiwok, Vojtech
We present a new simple extension of multiple walker metadynamics which makes it possible to simulate simultaneously multiple different molecular systems and to predict their free energy surfaces, named Altruistic metadynamics. Similarly to basic metadynamics, it uses a bias potential in the form of hills summed over the simulation. Each system adds a big hill to its “own” bias potential and smaller hills to bias potentials of other systems, hence, each system enhances sampling of other systems. This makes it possible to achieve either faster reaching of the stationary point or higher accuracy of the calculated free energy surfaces. This should be efficient in modeling of series of chemically similar systems, for example, in computational drug screening by metadynamics. The method was tested on model energy surfaces, alanine dipeptide modeled in different force fields and monosaccharides of d-hexopyranose series.
