CHris:
I had the opportunity in the recent past to use Hamelberg-McCammon
accelerated MD thanks to the courtesy of Professor Donald Hamelberg. I
tried to rectify a kicked helix. Now Professor Hamelberg seems to have
fundamentally modified his algorithm, or taken another route to the
task. I did not ask him, I simply came across "Extracting realistic
kinetics of rare activated processes from accelerated MD using
Kramers' theory" on a recent journal. being busy with a "constant pH"
simulation, I paid only cursory attention so far to the paper, getting
the impression that previous algorithm had its problems. Is present
accelerated MD in NAMD the original Hamelberg-McCammon? Has anything
to do with the article that I cited?
thanks
