13 Battling the Timescale - Case I Steered Molecular Dynamics is a non-equilibrium method by nature A wide variety of events that are inaccessible to conventional molecular dynamics simulations can be probed. The system will be driven, however, away from equilibrium, resulting in problems in describing the energy landscape associated with the event of interest. Second law of thermodynamics W ΔG
