[gmx-users] Methods for accelerated MD simulation for Protein-Mg-GTP system in gromacs

[Matthew Zwier]

Hi Neeru,

Any number of enhanced sampling techniques might do this, but weighted
ensemble, forward flux sampling, milestoning, and transition path
sampling (all described in (Zwier, M. C.; Chong, L. T. Current Opinion
in Pharmacology 2010, 10, 745–752.) and the nudged elastic band method
(Bergonzo, C., Campbell, A.J., Walker, R.C., Simmerling, C., "A
Partial Nudged Elastic Band Implementation for Use with Large or
Explicitly Solvated Large Systems", Int. J. Quant. Chem., 2009, 109,
15, 3781-3790) come to mind.  The nudged elastic band method, in
particular, might be a good place to start, since you have initial and
final structures.

To my knowledge, none of these is implemented directly within GROMACS,
but all could be implemented using GROMACS as a dynamics backend.
