metadynminer - Tools to Read, Analyze and Visualize Metadynamics HILLS Files
from 'Plumed'
Metadynamics is a state of the art biomolecular simulation
technique. 'Plumed' Tribello, G.A. et al. (2014)
<doi:10.1016/j.cpc.2013.09.018> program makes it possible to
perform metadynamics using various simulation codes. The
results of metadynamics done in 'Plumed' can be analyzed by
'metadynminer'. The package 'metadynminer' reads 1D and 2D
metadynamics hills files from 'Plumed' package. It uses a fast
algorithm by Hosek, P. and Spiwok, V. (2016)
<doi:10.1016/j.cpc.2015.08.037> to calculate a free energy
surface from hills. Minima can be located and plotted on the
free energy surface. Transition states can be analyzed by
Nudged Elastic Band method by Henkelman, G. and Jonsson, H.
(2000) <doi:10.1063/1.1323224>. Free energy surfaces, minima
and transition paths can be plotted to produce publication
quality images.
