We compare our results with those obtained from full atomistic simulations using the technique of thermodynamic integration and show a satisfactory agreement. In GC-AdResS the procedure to calculate \$μ^{ex}\$ corresponds to the process of standard initial equilibration of the system; this implies that, independently of the specific aim of the study, \$μ^{ex}\$, for each molecular species, is automatically calculated every time a GC-AdResS simulation is performed.}, language = {en} } @article{AgarwalWangSchuetteetal., author = {Agarwal, Animesh and Wang, Han and Sch{\"u}tte, Christof and Delle Site, Luigi}, title = {Chemical potential of liquids and mixtures via Adaptive Resolution Simulation}, series = {The Journal of Chemical Physics}, volume = {141}, journal = {The Journal of Chemical Physics}, doi = {10.1063/1.4886807}, pages = {034102}, language = {en} } @article{WangSchuetteCiccottietal., author = {Wang, Han and Sch{\"u}tte, Christof and Ciccotti, Giovanni and Delle Site, Luigi}, title = {Exploring the conformational dynamics of alanine dipeptide in solution subjected to an external electric field: A nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation}, series = {Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation}, volume = {10}, journal = {Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation}, number = {4}, doi = {10.1186/s12859-017-1565-4}, pages = {1376 -- 1386}, language = {en} } @article{WangSchuetteCiccottietal., author = {Wang, Han and Sch{\"u}tte, Christof and Ciccotti, Giovanni and von Kleist, Max}, title = {Exploring the conformational dynamics of alanine dipeptide in solution subjected to an external electric field: A nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation}, series = {Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation}, volume = {10}, journal = {Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation}, number = {4}, doi = {10.1021/ct400993e}, pages = {1376 -- 1386}, abstract = {In this paper, we investigate the conformational dynamics of alanine dipeptide under an external electric field by nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation.

For the constant field different time-scales are identified in the conformational, dipole moment, and orientational dynamics. Moreover, we prove that the solvent structure only marginally changes when the external field is switched on. In the case of oscillatory field, the conformational changes are shown to be as strong as in the previous case, and nontrivial nonequilibrium circular paths in the conformation space are revealed by calculating the integrated net probability fluxes.}, language = {en} } @article{WangSchuetteSite2012, author = {Wang, Han and Sch{\"u}tte, Christof and Site, Luigi Delle}, title = {Adaptive Resolution Simulation (AdResS): A Smooth Thermodynamic and Structural Transition from Atomistic to Coarse Grained Resolution and Vice Versa in a Grand Canonical Fashion.}, series = {J.

This procedure moreover easily enables us to calculate the second order correction to the linear response formula (which may or may not be useful in practice). Furthermore, we outline how the novel nonequilibirum linear response formula can be used to compute optimal controls of molecular systems for cases in which one wants to steer the system to maximize a certain target expectation value.

Lately, an NEMD methods with local thermostating has been proposed that allows for studying non-equilibrium processes in a statistically reliable and thermodynamically consistent way. In this article, we demonstrate how to construct Markov State Models (MSMs) for such NEMD simulations. MSM building has been well-established for systems in equilibrium where MSMs with just a few (macro-)states allow for accurate reproduction of the essential kinetics of the molecular system under consideration. Non-equilibrium MSMs have been lacking so far. The article presents how to construct such MSMs and illustrates their validity and usefulness for the case of conformation dynamics of alanine dipeptide in an external electric field.}, language = {en} }
