Main Methods:

  • Development of a novel molecular dynamics algorithm with memory.
  • Application to a model system and the cyclic peptide cyclosporin A.
  • Comparison with simulated temperature annealing and potential energy annealing.

Main Results:

  • The memory-enhanced algorithm successfully guided the molecular system to new conformational areas.
