Energy Concern in Biomolecular Simulations Involving Transitions From Coarse to Finer Grain Models
Generating self-adjusting multiscale models is necessary to analyze the complex behavior of biomolecular systems in an accurate, yet timely manner. The model transitions are achieved by effectively imposing or releasing certain systems constraints from a fine scale model to a reduced order model or vice versa. In the process of model reduction of such molecular systems, naturally existing higher modes are frozen out in the modeling because the internal metric had previously indicated these modes of motion as less relevant. In the transition from a coarse model back to a finer one, the appropriate amount of energy must be put back to the system. Herein, the non-uniqueness or even the presence of infinite number of solutions in this transition is addressed. Optimization and non-optimization methods are proposed to arrive at the finite number of solutions.
