“…GaMD , is developed to apply a harmonic boost potential to enhance sampling with reduced energetic noise. The boost potential normally exhibits a near Gaussian distribution, which enables proper reweighting of the free energy profiles through cumulant expansion to the second order. , GaMD has been successfully applied to simulate important biomolecular processes, including protein/RNA folding, ,, ligand/protein/RNA binding, ,− and protein conformational changes. ,, However, it remained challenging to accurately predict ligand binding kinetic rates through normal GaMD. , Recently, a “selective GaMD” algorithm, called Ligand GaMD (LiGaMD), , has been developed to allow for more efficient sampling of ligand binding and dissociation processes, which thus allows to accurately predict the ligand binding kinetic rates. For the protein ligand binding system, the system contains ligand L , protein P , and the biological environment E. The system potential energy could be decomposed into the following terms V ( r ) = V P , b ( r P ) + V L , b ( r L ) + V E , b ( r E ) + V P P , n b ( r P ) + V L L , n b …”
