A general method designed to isolate the global minimum of a multidimensional objective function with multiple minima is presented. The algorithm exploits an integral ''coarse-graining'' transformation of the objective function, U, into a smoothed function with few minima. When the coarsegraining is

We present here a new iterative technique for reliable estimation of multidimensional free energy and potential of mean force (PMF) values by computer simulation. This method is an extension of the weighted histogram analysis method [S. Kumar et al., I. Comp. Chem., 13, 1011, (199211. We have tested
Free energy derivatives, pictorial representation of free energy changes (PROFEC) and free energy perturbation methods were employed to suggest the modifications that may improve the stability of a mutant T4 lysozyme with a S-2-amino-3-cyclopentylpropanoic acid residue (Cpe) at position 133. The fre
