OPUS-Beta: A Statistical Potential for Beta-Sheet Contact Pattern in Proteins
Linglin Yu, Mingyang Lu, Tianwu Zang +1
Developing an accurate scoring function is essential for successfully predicting protein structures. In this study, we developed a statistical potential function, called OPUS-Beta,…
Estimating statistical distributions using an integral identity
Cheng Zhang, Jianpeng Ma
We present an identity for an unbiased estimate of a general statistical distribution. The identity computes the distribution density from dividing a histogram sum over a local win…
Enhanced sampling and applications in protein folding in explicit solvent
Cheng Zhang, Jianpeng Ma
We report a single-copy tempering method for simulating large complex systems. In a generalized ensemble, the method uses runtime estimate of the thermal average energy computed fr…
Enhanced sampling in generalized ensemble with large gap of sampling parameter: case study in temperature space random walk
Cheng Zhang, Jianpeng Ma
We present an efficient sampling method for computing a partition function and accelerating configuration sampling. The method performs a random walk in the space, with bei…
Counting Solutions for the N-queens and Latin Square Problems by Efficient Monte Carlo Simulations
Cheng Zhang, Jianpeng Ma
We apply Monte Carlo simulations to count the numbers of solutions of two well-known combinatorial problems: the N-queens problem and Latin square problem. The original system is f…
Simulation via Direct Computation of Partition Functions
Cheng Zhang, Jianpeng Ma
In this paper, we demonstrate the efficiency of simulations via direct computation of the partition function under various macroscopic conditions, such as different temperatures or…
