Tutorial – Metadynamics

Trainer: Giuliano Malloci, Attilio Vargiu, and Andrea Basciu

Overview: We will exploit enhanced-sampling molecular dynamics, namely metadynamics, to improve the sampling of bound-like (holo) conformations of a generic protein starting from its unbound (apo) one.

Learning outcomes

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • Use the EDES workflow to run a simulation using metadynamics with GROMACS
  • Prepare a structure for simulation with GROMACS
  • Use PLUMED to create simulation input files for metadynanics
  • Analyse your results
