摘要
In this review, we summarize the computational methods for sampling the conformational space of biomacromolecules. We discuss the methods applicable to find only lowest energy conformations (global minimization of the potential-energy function) and to generate canonical ensembles (canonical Monte Carlo method and canonical molecular dynamics method and their extensions). Special attention is devoted to the use of coarse-grained models that enable simulations to be enhanced by several orders of magnitude.
