Our team of experienced scientists and computational experts is dedicated to delivering high-quality simulations tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients.

Overview of Umbrella Sampling Simulation

Umbrella Sampling is a powerful technique used in molecular dynamics simulations to study the free energy landscape of biomolecular systems. By applying an external restraining potential, Umbrella Sampling allows researchers to explore the energetically unfavorable transitions that might occur during regular simulations. This method is particularly useful in investigating processes such as protein-ligand binding, protein conformational changes, and protein-protein interactions.

System setup of umbrella sampling simulation

System Setup

Our experts work closely with clients to define the system of interest and set up the necessary parameters for the Umbrella Sampling simulation. This includes defining the collective variables, selecting suitable force fields, and configuring the simulation environment.

Simulation modeling

Simulation Protocol Development

We develop customized simulation protocols tailored to the specific research objectives of our clients. Our team ensures optimal sampling efficiency and accuracy by carefully designing the umbrella sampling windows and defining the biasing potentials.

Data analysis

Data Generation and Analysis

We conduct extensive molecular dynamics simulations to generate large datasets capturing the dynamics of the system under study. Our analysis includes the calculation of free energy profiles, potential of mean force (PMF) calculations, and exploration of key transition states.
