Abstract:
Outlier flooding method (OFLOOD) is an efficient conformational sampling method developed by the authors. In the present study, to further enhance the conformational sampling efficiency, a set of parameters (temperatures and pressures) specified as inputs in the original OFLOOD were shuffled before restarting the short-time molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Because of the diversity of these parameters, it was confirmed that the extended OFLOOD becomes superior to the original one in finding the folding pathways of Trp-cage. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Sampling Methods: Sample Types
Solid samples include a variety of substances, such as sediments from water bodies, soil, metals, and biological tissues. Two standard methods for extracting sediments from water bodies are grab sampling and piston coring. Grab sampling involves using a device to collect a discrete sediment sample from the bottom of a water body with minimal disturbance. Grab samples do not always represent the entire area due to...
