The conformational potential energy surface (PES) of a molecule provides insights into the relative stability of the possible foldamers. However, the time and space complexity of electronic structure calculations, commonly used to generate PES, increases exponentially with an increasing number of atoms. The use of mathematical functions to model the topology of conformational PES is an alternative to more computer-intensive quantum chemical calculations, but the choice and complexity of functions used are crucial in achieving more accurate results. This paper presents a method to illustrate the topology of amino acid diamide PESs through a linear combination of a Fourier series and a mixture of Gaussian functions. Results yield a significantly small error, with an average RMSE of 4.9946 kJ mol−1 for all fits, which suggest that these functions may be used to represent the topology of the PESs, with around twofold order of magnitude decrease in computational time, with respect to DFT electronic structure calculations. This study ultimately aims to provide a foundation for a framework on building polypeptide PES from individual amino acid PESs.

<div> <div> <div> <p>The efficient selection of representative configurations that are used in high-level electronic structure calculations needed for the development of many-body molecular models poses a challenge to current data-driven approaches to molecular simulations. Here, we introduce an active learning (AL) framework for generating training sets corresponding to individual many-body contributions to the energy of a N-body system, which are required for the development of MB-nrg potential energy functions (PEFs). Our AL framework is based on uncertainty and error estimation, and uses Gaussian process regression (GPR) to identify the most relevant configurations that are needed for an accurate representation of the energy landscape of the molecular system under exam. Taking the Cs<sup>+</sup>–water system as a case study, we demonstrate that the application of our AL framework results in significantly smaller training sets than previously used in the development of the original MB-nrg PEF, without loss of accuracy. Considering the computational cost associated with high-level electronic structure calculations for training set configurations, our AL framework is particularly well-suited to the development of many-body PEFs, with chemical and spectroscopic accuracy, for molecular simulations from the gas to condensed phase. </p> </div> </div> </div>
