Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are a powerful tool to follow the time evolution of biomolecular motions in atomistic resolution. However, the high computational demand of these simulations limits the timescales of motions that can be observed. To resolve this issue, so called enhanced sampling techniques are developed, which extend conventional MD algorithms to speed up the simulation process. Here, we focus on techniques that apply global biasing functions. We provide a broad overview of established enhanced sampling methods and promising new advances. As the ultimate goal is to retrieve unbiased information from biased ensembles, we also discuss benefits and limitations of common reweighting schemes. In addition to concisely summarizing critical assumptions and implications, we highlight the general application opportunities as well as uncertainties of global enhanced sampling.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
