Direct Mixing of Atomistic Solutes and Coarse-Grained Water

Abstract: We present a new dual-resolution approach for coupling atomistic and coarse-grained models in molecular dynamics simulations of hydrated systems. In particular, a coarse-grained point dipolar water model is used to solvate molecules represented with standard all-atom force fields. A unique characteristic of our methodology is that the mixing of resolutions is direct, meaning that no additional or ad hoc scaling factors, intermediate regions, or extra sites are required. To validate the methodology, we compute … Show more

“…The emerging multiscale simulation methods 12,[15][16][17][18][19][20] are the optimal way to tackle such situations as they bypass the trade-off between accuracy and efficiency of a model. The adaptive resolution scheme (AdResS) is such a method and allows one to simulate a system at multiple resolutions.…”

“…[11][12][13] In this latter approach of Essex and coworkers, additional system-dependent scaling parameters had to be introduced. This limitation is overcome in the recent AA/CG scheme of Orsi and coworkers, 14 which is based on the ELBA CG water model. 15,16 In all the above AA/CG schemes, CG water models in which a single atomistic water molecule is mapped to a single CG molecule were applied, thus limiting the achievable computational speed-up.…”

“…Our methodology is simple and efficient: we approximate the distribution coefficient by the partition coefficient through the estimation of solvation free energies in water and cyclohexane, employing a hybrid all-atom/coarse-grained model. Such an approach is at least ten times faster than a corresponding all-atom approach [21, 22]; a solvation free energy in water and cyclohexane is computed in 13 and 7 CPU hours on average, respectively on 12 cores of a Cray XC30 machine. We have previously used this hybrid model to produce hexane/water and octanol/water predictions with high accuracy both in comparison to experiment and to a more expensive all-atom solvent model [23].…”
