SIDE models realistic biomolecular transition paths
—
in ChemistryWhat the study found The study found that SIDE, a Stochastic Integro-Differential Equation approach based on the Langevin bridge formalism, can generate realistic transition paths between different conformations of large biomolecular systems. In the authors' description, it produces smooth, low-energy trajectories and often recovers experimentally supported intermediate states. Why the authors say this matters The…
Thermostat choices affect sampling in molecular dynamics simulations
What the study found Thermostat algorithms in constant-temperature molecular dynamics simulations do not all behave the same way. In this binary Lennard-Jones liquid glass-former model, the Nosé-Hoover chain and Bussi velocity-rescaling thermostats controlled temperature reliably, while the Grønbech-Jensen-Farago Langevin scheme gave the most consistent sampling of both temperature and potential energy. Why the authors say…
