Molecular simulations can provide microscopic insight into the physical and chemical driving forces of complex molecular processes. Despite continued advancement of simulation methodology, model errors may lead to inconsistencies between simulated and reference (e.g., from experiments or higher-level simulations) observables. To bound the microscopic information generated by computer simulations within reference measurements, we propose a method that reweights the microscopic transitions of the…

Concurrent parametrization against static and kinetic information leads to more robust coarse-grained force fields

This work relies on Markov state models to simultaneously characterize the static and kinetic properties of two CG peptide force fields—one top-down and one bottom-up—in order to improve the description of kinetics.

Combining experimental and simulation data of molecular processes via augmented Markov models

It is taken that simulations using a sufficiently good force-field sample conformations that are valid but have inaccurate weights, yet these weights may be made accurate by incorporating experimental data a posteriori, constitutes a unique avenue to combine experiment and computation into integrative models of biomolecular structure and dynamics.

Recent Progress towards Chemically-Specific Coarse-Grained Simulation Models with Consistent Dynamical Properties

An overview of efforts to address the accurate description of dynamical properties generated from CG simulations is presented, ranging from bottom-up parametrizations of generalized Langevin equations to refinements of the CG force field based on a Markov state modeling framework.

Structural-kinetic-thermodynamic relationships identified from physics-based molecular simulation models.

This work systematically vary force-field parameters and monitor their structural, kinetic, and thermodynamic properties, and finds that structurally accurate models also best reproduce the kinetics, suggesting structural-kinetic relationships for these models.

Linking time-series of single-molecule experiments with molecular dynamics simulations by machine learning

A machine-learning method is devised to combine the complementary information from the two approaches and construct a consistent model of conformational dynamics of the formin-binding protein WW domain, and provides a general framework for investigating conformational transitions in other proteins.

Non-equilibrium Markov state modeling of periodically driven biomolecules.

This work introduces a method to construct Markov state models for systems that are driven through periodically changing one (or several) external parameter, and illustrates the method for alanine dipeptide exposed to a time-dependent electric field.

Bottom-up Coarse-Graining: Principles and Perspectives

By proposing that the driving forces in both smaller and larger systems have an explicit connection, systematic bottom-up CG techniques can be used to transfer CG hypotheses discovered using a smaller scale system to a larger system of primary interest.

Structural-Kinetic-Thermodynamic Relationships for Peptide Secondary Structure Formation Identified from Transition Network Properties

This work investigates to what extent a simple, native-biased coarse-grained model is capable of reproducing the dynamics, or more specifically kinetic properties, of an underlying helix-coil transition, and investigates structure-kinetic relationships.

The role of conformational entropy in the determination of structural-kinetic relationships for helix-coil transitions

This work verifies the structural-kinetic relationships by scanning the parameter space of a simple native-biased model and then employs a distinct transferable model to validate and generalize the conclusions, and suggests an approach for ensuring kinetic consistency of coarse-grained simulation models.

Dynamic force matching: Construction of dynamic coarse-grained models with realistic short time dynamics and accurate long time dynamics.

A CG model constructed using type-3 fictitious particles (as well as type-2 particles previously used) gives a much more satisfactory dynamic model for liquid methanol, and is able to construct a CG model that has the same self-diffusion coefficient and the same rotational relaxation time as an all-atom model of liquid meethanol.

A rigorous statistical method is proposed to approximate the complete statistical distribution of any observable of an MD simulation provided that one can identify conformational substates such that the transition process between them may be modeled with a memoryless jump process.

Hierarchical analysis of conformational dynamics in biomolecules: transition networks of metastable states.

Cl clustering based on kinetics is examined, merging configurational microstates together so as to identify long-lived, i.e., dynamically metastable, states, and an approach is proposed to generate a hierarchical model of networks, each having a different number of metastable states.

The procedure means that it is now practicable to interpret quasielastic scattering spectra in terms of well-defined intramolecular transitions with minimal a priori assumptions as to the nature of the dynamics taking place.

Extended Phase-Space Methods for Enhanced Sampling in Molecular Simulations: A Review

This work reviews a class of methods that rely on the idea of extending the set of dynamical variables of the system by adding extra ones associated to functions describing the process under study and shows the advantages presented and how it allows to quickly sample important regions of the free-energy landscape via automatic exploration.

Markov state model reveals folding and functional dynamics in ultra-long MD trajectories.

The MSM approach finds new statistically significant folding pathways, in which either beta-hairpin of the WW domain can form first, and predicts how WW domains may function through a conformational selection mechanism.

Automatic discovery of metastable states for the construction of Markov models of macromolecular conformational dynamics.

Given molecular dynamics trajectories initiated from a well-defined starting distribution, the algorithm discovers long lived, kinetically metastable states through successive iterations of partitioning and aggregating conformation space into kinetically related regions.
