Multiscale models

Multiscale models

Fully atomistic models are the gold standard for simulations of biological macromolecules but their cost limits the system size and time scales that can be studied. We are pursuing multiscale approaches that reduce degrees of freedoms that are not essential via coarse-graining while still maintaining coupling to atomistic representations. We have developed the PRIMO coarse-grained model that is closely coupled to the CHARMM all-atom force field and demonstrated its transferablity to membrane environments in PRIMO-M. Current efforts are focused on coupling PRIMO directly with CHARMM in AA/CG models and resolution exchange formalisms.
