Time-lagged t-SNE
If you use t-SNE to analyse molecular simulation trajectories try our time-lagged version. In contrast to conventional t-SNE it focuses on slow motions and makes it possible to identify kinetic traps. The paper was published on-line: Pavel Kriz and Vojtech Spiwok: Time-Lagged t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) of Molecular Simulation Trajectories. Front. Mol. Biosci. 2020, 7, 132.

We have shown that Flying Gaussian and free energy surface reweighting can work together. See proof in the article P. Křìž, Z. Šućur & V.

Well-tempered version of Altruistic metadynamics was published. Well-tempered MPI-based Altruistic metadynamics Plumed hack can be found here: MetaD.cpp. Compile with Plumed 2.2.0 and use with WALKERS_MPI ALTFACTOR=0.5 ALTTYPE=4. The parameter ALTFACTOR controls the the factor α, i.e. the "degree of altruism". Higher bias factor values must be used compared with conventional well-tempered metadynamics (typically the value of conventional bias factor multiplied by the number of walkers).

ALTTYPE=4 means that for two walkers and HEIGHT=1.0 a hill of height 1.5 is added to "own" system and 0.5 to the other system.

ALTTYPE=3 means that for two walkers and HEIGHT=1.0 a hill of height 1.0 is added to "own" system and 0.333333 to the other system. ALTTYPE=2 and ALTTYPE=1 are experimental.

Close structure algorthm for fast (R)MSD calculation in path and property map CVs was published together with Jana Pazurikova, Maria Simkova and Ales Krenek. We are working on implementation to the official Plumed.

Flying Gaussian Plumed hack can be found here: MetaD.cpp. Compile with Plumed 2.2.0 and use with PACE=1 WALKERS_MPI FLYING_GAUSSIAN. PACE controls the rate of hill moves (PACE=1 means move in every step). Free energy surface can be obtained from the COLVAR file.

September 2016 Our new "Flying Gaussian" sampling enhancment method has been published in JCTC. Flying Gaussian uses multiple walkers similarly to multiple walker metadynamics. Each walker is associated with one Gaussian bias potential hill, which moves together with CV evolution. When multiple walkers accumulate in one minimum they are repulsed by their Gaussians.

May 2016 Try our Gibbs energy - equilibrium constant and Eyring equation online calculator.

April 2016 New video demonstrating altruistic metadynamics is available at Youtube.

March 2016 We would apreciate any feedback regarding our metadynamics viewer MetadynView. Please find few minutes to fill a questionaire.

February 2016 We have published a study presenting altruistic metadynamics. This variant of multiple walker metadynamics makes it possible to simulate chemically different systems and to predict their free energy surfaces. You can add this MetaD.cpp file to Plumed 2.2 and compile. Altruistic metadynamics can be used as a multiple walker metadynamics with WALKERS_MPI=off (WALKERS_MPI=on in progress) and with ALTFACTOR=0-1.
