Dimensionality reduction approaches have been used to exploit the redundancy in a Cartesian coordinate representation of molecular motion by producing low-dimensional representations of molecular motion. This has been used to help visualize complex energy landscapes, to extend the time scales of simulation, and to improve the efficiency of optimization. Until recently, linear approaches for dimensionality reduction have been employed. Here, we investigate the efficacy of several automated…

Using Dimensionality Reduction to Analyze Protein Trajectories

This paper analyzed a molecular dynamics trajectory of the C-terminal fragment of the immunoglobulin binding domain B1 of protein G of Streptococcus modeled in explicit solvent using a range of different dimensionality reduction algorithms and tried to systematically compare the projections generated using each of these algorithms by using a clustering algorithm to find the positions and extents of the basins in the high-dimensional energy landscape.

Geometric Issues in Dimensionality Reduction and Protein Conformation Space

The puzzling dimensionally reduction results of β-hairpin are discussed where the linear method PCA performed better than nonlinear methods ISOMAP and LLE and it is shown that nonlinear surfaces without certain specified properties are not necessarily better suited for nonlinear dimensionality reduction methods than linear methods.

Metadynamics in the conformational space nonlinearly dimensionally reduced by Isomap.

A simulation with a bias potential acting in the directions of collective motions determined by a nonlinear dimensionality reduction method is presented, which allows to use essentially any parameter of the system as a collective variable in biased simulations.

UMAP as a Dimensionality Reduction Tool for Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Biomacromolecules: A Comparison Study.

The comparison of the raw high-dimensional data with the projections obtained using different dimensionality reduction methods based on various metrics showed that UMAP has superior performance when compared with linear reduction methods (PCA and tICA) and has competitive performance and scalable computational cost.

Evaluation of Dimensionality-reduction Methods from Peptide Folding-unfolding Simulations.

This study evaluated several non linear methods, locally linear embedding, Isomap, and diffusion maps, as well as principal component analysis from the equilibrium folding/unfolding trajectory of the second β-hairpin of the B1 domain of streptococcal protein G.

It is shown that the dPCA amounts to a one-to-one representation of the original angle distribution and that its principal components can readily be characterized by the corresponding conformational changes of the peptide.

Complexity of free energy landscapes of peptides revealed by nonlinear principal component analysis

The study revealed that NLPCA reduces the dimensionality of the considered systems much better, than did PCA, and showed that many states in the PCA maps are mixed up by several peptide conformations, while those of the NLPC a maps are more pure.
