| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have applied our extended ensemble simulation, MCMD-METAD hybrid method to the several typical issues of protein simulations. Our method has a remarkable advantages against old similar methods, providing clear convergence property. We implemented the method to our molecular dynamics simulation program. Moreover, we then developed a novel long-range potential which significantly accelerates simulations. We implemented it to our simulation program, evaluating properties of several bio-systems. As a results, we found that the search ability of taboo like method, such as METAD, is strongly depend on the pre-determined reaction coordinate. This suggests the good reaction coordinate determination is of paramount importance for protein simulation studies.
