WE simulations can be orders of magnitude more efficient than standard simulations in generating unbiased, atomically detailed pathways for rare events such as large conformational transitions in proteins and protein binding processes. The WE strategy can be applied at any scale with any type of stochastic dynamics engine \u2013 from ab initio simulations to cell-scale simulations and beyond. I will present our recent applications of the WE strategy as well as challenges that remain in tackling long-timescale kinetics.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>REGISTRATION:<\/strong><\/p>\n<article>The colloquium is taking place via Zoom.
