Theory of Adaptive Optimization for Umbrella Sampling.

ABSTRACT: We present a theory of adaptive optimization for umbrella sampling. With the analytical bias force constant obtained from the constrained thermodynamic length along the reaction coordinate, the windows are distributed to optimize the overlap between neighbors. Combining with the replica exchange method, we propose a method of adaptive window exchange umbrella sampling. The efficiency gain in sampling by the present method originates from the optimal window distribution, in which windows are concentrated to the region where the free energy is steep, as well as consequently improved random walk.

Enhanced modeling via network theory: Adaptive sampling of Markov state models.

Project description:Computer simulations can complement experiments by providing insight into molecular kinetics with atomic resolution. Unfortunately, even the most powerful supercomputers can only simulate small systems for short timescales, leaving modeling of most biologically relevant systems and timescales intractable. In this work, however, we show that molecular simulations driven by adaptive sampling of networks called Markov State Models (MSMs) can yield tremendous time and resource savings, allowing previously intractable calculations to be performed on a routine basis on existing hardware. We also introduce a distance metric (based on the relative entropy) for comparing MSMs. We primarily employ this metric to judge the convergence of various sampling schemes but it could also be employed to assess the effects of perturbations to a system (e.g. determining how changing the temperature or making a mutation changes a system's dynamics).

Eigenvector method for umbrella sampling enables error analysis.

Project description:Umbrella sampling efficiently yields equilibrium averages that depend on exploring rare states of a model by biasing simulations to windows of coordinate values and then combining the resulting data with physical weighting. Here, we introduce a mathematical framework that casts the step of combining the data as an eigenproblem. The advantage to this approach is that it facilitates error analysis. We discuss how the error scales with the number of windows. Then, we derive a central limit theorem for averages that are obtained from umbrella sampling. The central limit theorem suggests an estimator of the error contributions from individual windows, and we develop a simple and computationally inexpensive procedure for implementing it. We demonstrate this estimator for simulations of the alanine dipeptide and show that it emphasizes low free energy pathways between stable states in comparison to existing approaches for assessing error contributions. Our work suggests the possibility of using the estimator and, more generally, the eigenvector method for umbrella sampling to guide adaptation of the simulation parameters to accelerate convergence.

Self-Learning Adaptive Umbrella Sampling Method for the Determination of Free Energy Landscapes in Multiple Dimensions.

Project description:The potential of mean force describing conformational changes of biomolecules is a central quantity that determines the function of biomolecular systems. Calculating an energy landscape of a process that depends on three or more reaction coordinates might require a lot of computational power, making some of multidimensional calculations practically impossible. Here, we present an efficient automatized umbrella sampling strategy for calculating multidimensional potential of mean force. The method progressively learns by itself, through a feedback mechanism, which regions of a multidimensional space are worth exploring and automatically generates a set of umbrella sampling windows that is adapted to the system. The self-learning adaptive umbrella sampling method is first explained with illustrative examples based on simplified reduced model systems, and then applied to two non-trivial situations: the conformational equilibrium of the pentapeptide Met-enkephalin in solution and ion permeation in the KcsA potassium channel. With this method, it is demonstrated that a significant smaller number of umbrella windows needs to be employed to characterize the free energy landscape over the most relevant regions without any loss in accuracy.

Transmembrane helix assembly by window exchange umbrella sampling.

Project description:A method of window exchange umbrella sampling molecular dynamics simulation is employed for transmembrane helix assembly. An analytical expression for the average acceptance probability between neighboring windows is derived and combined with the first passage time optimization method to predetermine a parameter set in an optimal range. With the parameter set, the method provides a substantially more efficient sampling of helix-helix interfaces together with the potential of mean force along the helix-helix distance of a transmembrane helix-dimer model, compared to the umbrella sampling method.

Two Dimensional Window Exchange Umbrella Sampling for Transmembrane Helix Assembly.

Project description:The method of window exchange umbrella sampling molecular dynamics (WEUSMD) with a pre-optimized parameter set was recently used to obtain the most probable conformations and the energetics of transmembrane (TM) helix assembly of a generic TM sequence. When applied to glycophorin A TM domain (GpA-TM) using the restraint potentials along the helix-helix distance, however, tight interfacial packing of GpA-TM resulted in insufficient conformational sampling at short helix-helix separation. This sampling issue is addressed by extending the WEUSMD into two dimensions with the restraint potentials along the helix-helix distance and crossing angle. The two-dimensional WEUSMD results demonstrate that the incomplete sampling in the one-dimensional WEUSMD arises from high barriers along the crossing angle between the GpA-TM helices. Together with the faster convergence in both the assembled conformations and the potential of mean force, the 2D-WEUSMD can be a general and efficient approach in computational studies of TM helix assembly.

Coupled folding and binding with 2D Window-Exchange Umbrella Sampling.

Project description:Intrinsically disordered regions of proteins can gain structure by binding to a partner. This process, of coupled folding and binding (CFaB), is a fundamental part of many important biological processes. Structure-based models have proven themselves capable of revealing fundamental aspects of how CFaB occurs, however, typical methods to enhance the sampling of these transitions, such as replica exchange, do not adequately sample the transition state region of this extremely rare process. Here, we use a variant of Umbrella Sampling to enforce sampling of the transition states of CFaB of HdeA monomers at neutral pH, an extremely rare process that occurs over timescales ranging from seconds to hours. Using high resolution sampling in the transition state region, we cluster states along the principal transition path to obtain a detailed description of coupled binding and folding for the HdeA dimer, revealing new insight into the ensemble of states that are accessible to client recognition. We then demonstrate that exchanges between umbrella sampling windows, as done in previous work, significantly improve relaxation in variables orthogonal to the restraints used. Altogether, these results show that Window-Exchange Umbrella Sampling is a promising approach for systems that exhibit flexible binding, and can reveal transition state ensembles of these systems in high detail. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Unbinding ligands from SARS-CoV-2 Mpro via umbrella sampling simulations

Project description:The umbrella sampling (US) simulation is demonstrated to be an efficient approach for determining the unbinding pathway and binding affinity to the SARS-CoV-2 Mpro of small molecule inhibitors. The accuracy of US is in the same range as the linear interaction energy (LIE) and fast pulling of ligand (FPL) methods. In detail, the correlation coefficient between US and experiments does not differ from FPL and is slightly smaller than LIE. The root mean square error of US simulations is smaller than that of LIE. Moreover, US is better than FPL and poorer than LIE in classifying SARS-CoV-2 Mpro inhibitors owing to the reciever operating characteristic–area under the curve analysis. Furthermore, the US simulations also provide detailed insights on unbinding pathways of ligands from the binding cleft of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro. The residues Cys44, Thr45, Ser46, Leu141, Asn142, Gly143, Glu166, Leu167, Pro168, Ala191, Gln192 and Ala193 probably play an important role in the ligand dissociation. Therefore, substitutions at these points may change the mechanism of binding of inhibitors to SARS-CoV-2 Mpro.
