Multiscale methods combining quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics (QM/MM) have become the most suitable and effective strategies for the investigation of the spectroscopic properties of medium-to-large size chromophores in condensed phases. In this context, we are developing a novel workflow aimed at improving the generality, reliability, and ease of use of the available computational tools. In this paper, we report our latest developments with specific reference to a general protocol based on atomistic simulations, carried out under nonperiodic boundary conditions (NPBC).

Article Synopsis
  • Collective variables are essential for enhanced sampling methods but finding effective ones can be difficult.
  • A recent study combined techniques to improve these variables from lower quality options, specifically in the context of metadynamics.
  • The new method was applied to alanine-3 in water, successfully extracting more accurate collective variables that detail the protein complex's free energy surface.
