Background:

Replica-exchange molecular dynamics (REMD) simulations are crucial for exploring complex energy landscapes.
Conventional REMD methods can suffer from numerical instability, particularly at high temperatures.
Velocity scaling in REMD can complicate simulation protocols.

Purpose of the Study:

To simplify the replica-exchange routine by removing the need for velocity scaling.
To validate the new method using a Lennard-Jones fluid system.

Main Methods:

Development of the mass-scaling replica-exchange molecular dynamics (MSREMD) method.
Analytical demonstration of trajectory reproduction with Nosé-Hoover thermostats.
Simulation of a Lennard-Jones fluid as a pilot study.

Main Results:

MSREMD significantly improves numerical stability at high temperatures compared to conventional REMD.
The MSREMD method eliminates the need for velocity scaling, simplifying the simulation process.
MSREMD simulations reproduce conventional REMD trajectories with shorter time steps at high temperatures.

Conclusions:

MSREMD offers enhanced numerical stability for molecular dynamics simulations.
The method optimizes computational resources through a simpler algorithm and reduced time steps.
MSREMD presents a more efficient and stable alternative for replica-exchange simulations.
