Experimental umbrella sampling of a rotary nanomachine
The free-energy landscape of a molecular system, which describes its free energy as a function of a few collective coordinates, governs its dynamics and function, but is challenging to determine experimentally. In molecular simulations, enhanced-sampling methods such as umbrella sampling use bias potentials to access regions of this landscape that are rarely visited by equilibrium fluctuations.…
