Monte Carlo Methods for Sampling the Potential Energy Landscape Ensemble

چکیده
I discuss the general scheme and background for Monte Carlo random walks. This is then applied this to the specific case of sampling the “roaming region” of the formaldehyde (H2CO) potential energy surface.

In this study, Monte Carlo statistical mechanical simulations for vinblastine and vincristine werecarried out in standard manner using the Metropolis sampling technique in canonical (T, V, N)ensemble., Geometrical optimizations of vinblastine and vincristine were carried out with the HFmethod coupled to 6-31G(d) basis sets for all atoms. Simulation was done by four force fields ofMM+, BIO+, AMB...
متن کاملNon-Boltzmann Ensembles and Monte Carlo Simulations
Boltzmann sampling based on Metropolis algorithm has been extensively used for simulating a canonical ensemble and for calculating macroscopic properties of a closed system at desired temperatures. An estimate of a mechanical property, like energy, of an equilibrium system, is made by averaging over a large number microstates generated by Boltzmann Monte Carlo methods. This is possible because ...

متن کاملGeneralized-Ensemble Algorithms: Enhanced Sampling Techniques for Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics Simulations
In complex systems with many degrees of freedom such as spin glass and biomolecular systems, conventional simulations in canonical ensemble suffer from the quasi-ergodicity problem. A simulation in generalized ensemble performs a random walk in potential energy space and overcomes this difficulty. From only one simulation run, one can obtain canonical-ensemble averages of physical quantities as...
متن کاملNew Generalized-Ensemble Monte Carlo Method for Systems with Rough Energy Landscape
We present a novel Monte Carlo algorithm which enhances equilibrization of lowtemperature simulations and allows sampling of configurations over a large range of energies. The method is based on a non-Boltzmann probability weight factor and is another version of the so-called generalized-ensemble techniques. The effectiveness of the new approach is demonstrated for the system of a small peptide...
