Let's Stalk About Membranes: Committor-Based Enhanced Sampling of Stalk Formation
Giorgia Rossi, Enrico Trizio, Davide Bochicchio +2
Membrane fusion is essential for cellular communication and function, and understanding how two lipid bilayers merge is key to informing therapeutic strategies. Functionalized nano…
Ceci n'est pas un committor, yet it samples like one: efficient sampling via approximated committor functions
Enrico Trizio, Giorgia Rossi, Michele Parrinello
Atomistic simulations are widely used to investigate reactive processes but are often limited by the rare event problem due to kinetic bottlenecks. We recently introduced an enhanc…
Committors without Descriptors
Peilin Kang, Jintu Zhang, Enrico Trizio +2
The study of rare events is one of the major challenges in atomistic simulations, and several enhanced sampling methods towards its solution have been proposed. Recently, it has be…
The seeds of the future are in the present: A blind exploration of metastable states
Timothée Devergne, Vladimir Kostic, Massimiliano Pontil +1
In this work, we present a novel type of molecular dynamics simulation that aims at discovering, in a blind way, new metastable states. Using only data coming from an initial unbia…
The role of fluctuations in the nucleation process
Yuanpeng Deng, Peilin Kang, Xiang Xu +2
The emergence upon cooling of an ordered solid phase from a liquid is a remarkable example of self-assembly, which has also major practical relevance. Here, we use a recently devel…
Weighted Active Space Protocol for Multireference Machine-Learned Potentials
Aniruddha Seal, Simone Perego, Matthew R. Hennefarth +5
Multireference methods such as multiconfiguration pair-density functional theory (MC-PDFT) offer an effective means of capturing electronic correlation in systems with significant…
