In this review, we summarize the computational methods for sampling the conformational space of biomacromolecules. We discuss the methods applicable to find only lowest energy conformations (global minimization of the potential-energy function) and to generate canonical ensembles (canonical Monte Carlo method and canonical molecular dynamics method and their extensions). Special attention is devoted to the use of coarse-grained models that enable simulations to be enhanced by several orders of magnitude.
在本综述中,我们总结了用于对生物大分子构象空间进行采样的计算方法。我们讨论了仅适用于寻找最低能量构象(势能函数的全局最小化)以及生成正则系综(正则蒙特卡罗方法和正则分子动力学方法及其扩展)的方法。我们特别关注粗粒度模型的使用,该模型能够将模拟提升几个数量级。
