    Using both quantum chemical and molecular dynamics calculations, free energy profiles during membrane permeable processes of Ala-containing cyclic dipeptides were evaluated with moderate computational costs. Since the balance between hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity is a key factor in the membrane permeation processes, Ala-Ala and Ala-Pro might be permeable, but Ala-Asn is not owing to the high free energy barrier at the membrane center. This protocol is useful to roughly distinguish whether a given compound has high permeability or not.

  • Analytical Method Using a Scaled Hypersphere Search for High-Dimensional Metadynamics Simulations Reviewed

    Yuki Mitsuta, Yasuteru Shigeta

    Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation   16 ( 6 )   3869 - 3878   2020.06（ ISSN:1549-9626 ） （ eISSN:1549-9626 ）

    Metadynamics (MTD) is one of the most effective methods for calculating the free energy surface and finding rare events. Nevertheless, numerous studies using MTD have been carried out using 3D or lower dimensional collective variables (CVs), as higher dimensional CVs require costly computational resources and the obtained results are too complex to understand the important events. The latter issue can be conveniently solved by utilizing the free energy reaction network (FERN), which is a graph structure consisting of edges of minimum free energy paths (MFEPs), nodes of equation (EQ) points, and transition state (TS) points. In the present article, a new method for exploring FERNs on high-dimensional CVs using MTD and the scaled hypersphere search (SHS) method is described. A test calculation based on the MTDSHS simulation of met-enkephalin in explicit water with 7 CVs was conducted. As a result, 889 EQpoints and 1805 TS points were found. The MTD-SHS approach can find MFEPs exhaustively; therefore, the FERNs can be estimated without any a priori knowledge of the EQ and TS points.
