Abstract

BACKGROUND: Compared with all-atom molecular dynamics (MD), constrained MD methods allow for larger time steps, potentially reducing computational cost. For this reason, there has been continued interest in improving constrained MD algorithms to increase configuration space sampling in molecular simulations.
