2 Free Energy Sampling: Following Perturbation along Order Parameters to Sample Important Events in the Orthogonal Spaces Geometric Perturbation (PMF Calculations) Chemical Perturbation (FEP Calculations) Transition State Zeroth-Order Importance Sampling Methods: -- Umbrella Sampling (Restraining)/ Thermodynamic Integration (Constraining) -- Non-equilibrium regime umbrella sampling: Steered molecular dynamics; Non-equilibrium regime TI: fast growth TI ΔG An Order Parameter (for instance: Distance) 2

3 Environment Responses Freedom Reduction Catastrophe in Zeroth-Order Importance Sampling Methods (US or TI) II III B A I I. Traverse effect renders US challenging to work; II.US hides problems: Order parameter distribution overlap checking does not tell us anything about whether collected samples from two neighboring states overlap in the orthogonal space (along the degrees of freedom orthogonal to the order 3 parameter).

4 Ergodic Sampling Checking and Order Parameter Space Random Walk (First-Order Generalized Ensemble Sampling) U ( ) U o fm( ) fm( ) G( ) I. A Necessary Condition for Ergodic Sampling Checking: When a system leaves state A towards state B, it can be propagated back within finite time and vice verse. II.Order Parameter Space Random Walk: To preserve dynamic degrees of freedom while crossing free energy barriers along OPs. III.Two General Strategies: (a) Recursive sampling to adaptively update OP-dependent biasing potentials; (b) Umbrella Sampling Hamiltonian Replica Exchange. 4

5 Recursion (Adaptive Sampling) Methods to Enlarge Fluctuations in the Order Parameter Space U( ) U o fm( ) fm( ) G( ) I. Adaptive umbrella sampling method: slow recursion; robust and convergent (long-tail); easy to implement i t Gt ( ) RT ln( ) fm ( ) i 1 i II. Metadynamics: fast recursion; lack of robustness and oscillatory; easy to implement (t ) 2 i G( ) hexp 2 2w t III. Adaptive biasing force: fast recursion; robust and convergent (short-tail); can be challenging to implement ln J G( ) F ' d ' F U o RT i o 5

6 The Hidden Barrier (Orthogonal Space Sampling) Issue: How to Sample Slow Environment Responses Z A + - TS Nonpolar Moiety Polar Moiety B Hidden responses Slow processes are likely to be collective; activating cooperative energy fluctuations is remarkably challenging. 6

7 The Elephant Has Been in the Room for a While -- Gated motions -- Environment mediated dynamics -- Enslaved dynamics -- Hamiltonian lagging issue Slow responses in the orthogonal space need to be activated; Within the generalized ensemble framework, response OP (ROP) needs to be predefined in a system-independent manner. Hidden responses If hidden processes are activated events, ROPs cannot be learned from lower-level sampling results. 7

8 How to Define ROP: Generalization of the Marcus Theory The Marcus Theory OP: Vertical Energy Gap -- Strong-Coupled ROP (SC-ROP) With U( ) U o fm( ), the whole process can be considered as a series of Generalized Electron Transfer sub-processes. + ln J Uo F RT The Key Generalization: for any target process, generalized force is a generic SC-ROP for the dynamics along. Zheng, L., Chen, M., and Yang, W. J. Chem. Phys. 130, (2009). 8

9 Orthogonal Space Random Walk: the Beginning of the Second-Order Generalized Ensemble Sampling Scheme First-order generalized ensemble: random walk in the order parameter space U( ) U o fm( ) fm( ) G( ) Orthogonal space random walk: random walks in both the target OP and the SC-ROP directions. U( ) U o fm( ) gm(, F ) fm( ) Go ( ) gm[, F ] Go' (, F ) ensemble under [U o Go ( )] Note: (a) No system-dependent orthogonal collective variable needs to be preselected to accelerate sampling of slow environment responses; (b) Strongly-coupled responses: only involving direct interactions between the perturbation center and its environment, but not environment internal interactions. Zheng, L., Chen, M., and Yang, W. J. Chem. Phys. 130, (2009). 9

15 High-Order Orthogonal Space Tempering (HOOST) U m U o ( ) fm( ) ggm, F hhm, F, FF F U o ( ) 1. Essential weakly-coupled environment responses are defined as Responses to F Fluctuations ; 2. The order parameter: ln J F U o ( ) FF RT F F 3. It involves environment internal interactions; 4. h is also a parameter defining sampling aggressiveness and sampling boundary; 5. Accelerating weakly-coupled environment responses can be essential to wetting/de-wetting transitions and long-range conformational responses etc. 15

30 Predictive Sampling Based on Potential Scaling Perturbation A General Expanded Hamiltonian: A Generalized Orthogonal Space Tempering (gost): Although varying λ may lead to a shifted distribution, it can take very long time for a configuration to dynamically evolve to new important regions; i.e. slow configuration responses, particularly ones involving cooperative fluctuations, are likely to be the major sampling bottleneck. 30
