    Abstract The kinetics of a dynamical system dominated by two metastable states is examined from the perspective of the activated-dynamics reactive flux formalism, Markov state eigenvalue spectral decomposition, and committor-based transition path theory. Analysis shows that the different theoretical formulations are consistent, clarifying the significance of the inherent microscopic lag-times that are implicated, and that the most meaningful one-dimensional reaction coordinate in the region of the transition state is along the gradient of the committor in the multidimensional subspace of collective variables. It is shown that the familiar reactive flux activated dynamics formalism provides an effective route to calculate the transition rate in the case of a narrow sharp barrier but much less so in the case of a broad flat barrier. In this case, the standard reactive flux correlation function decays very slowly to the plateau value that corresponds to the transmission coefficient. Treating the committor function as a reaction coordinate does not alleviate all issues caused by the slow relaxation of the reactive flux correlation function. A more efficient activated dynamics simulation algorithm may be achieved from a modified reactive flux weighted by the committor. Simulation results on simple systems are used to illustrate the various conceptual points.

    Abstract The kinetics of a dynamical system comprising two metastable states is formulated in terms of a finite-time propagator in phase space (position and velocity) adapted to the underdamped Langevin equation. Dimensionality reduction to a subspace of collective variables yields familiar expressions for the propagator, committor, and steady-state flux. A quadratic expression for the steady-state flux between the two metastable states can serve as a robust variational principle to determine an optimal approximate committor expressed in terms of a set of collective variables. The theoretical formulation is exploited to clarify the foundation of the string method with swarms-of-trajectories, which relies on the mean drift of short trajectories to determine the optimal transition pathway. It is argued that the conditions for Markovity within a subspace of collective variables may not be satisfied with an arbitrary short time-step and that proper kinetic behaviors appear only when considering the effective propagator for longer lag times. The effective propagator with finite lag time is amenable to an eigenvalue-eigenvector spectral analysis, as elaborated previously in the context of position-based Markov models. The time-correlation functions calculated by swarms-of-trajectories along the string pathway constitutes a natural extension of these developments. The present formulation provides a powerful theoretical framework to characterize the optimal pathway between two metastable states of a system.

    Abstract The electrostatic response underlying the 3D-RISM theory and its general relationship to models in which the solvent is represented in terms of a dielectric continuum are examined. It is found that the theory provides a coherent picture of solvation, although its behavior is not entirely consistent with the trends that are expected in the limit of a large solute. The electrostatic discrepancy is due to the nature of the isotropic pair additive site-site correlation function associated with the susceptibility response of the uniform fluid. The influence of the discrepancy in the magnitude of the solvation free energy is negligible for a solvent with a large dielectric constant.

    Abstract Voltage-sensitive fluorescent dyes such as di-8-ANEPPS (di-8-aminonaphthylethylenepyridinium propylsulfonate) are powerful tools to study biological membranes. Its fluorescence is affected by changes in the membrane potential and other factors, requiring extensive calibration to extract meaningful quantitative results. The amphiphilic di-8-ANEPPS molecule is expected to bind at the membrane-solution interface. However, atomic-level information is sparse about its position and orientation in the membrane, especially in regards to how the latter dynamically fluctuates to affect the observed fluorescence. In the present work, molecular dynamics simulations of the ground and excited states of di-8-ANEPPS embedded in a DPPC membrane as represented by classical force fields were used to investigate how the fluorescence is affected by externally applied potential. The calculations reproduce the shifts in the wavelength of emission as a function of voltage that are observed experimentally, indicating that the approach can help better understand the various factors that can affect the fluorescence of membrane-bound dyes.

    Abstract Voltage-sensitive fluorescent probes, such as di-8-amino-naphthyl-ethylene-pyridinium-propyl-sulfonate (di-8-ANEPPS), are extremely useful for monitoring the membrane potential in biological and biophysical studies. However, because di-8-ANEPPS is very sensitive to its environment, it can be difficult to distinguish the degree to which a given external factor affects the observed fluorescence. Molecular dynamics simulations based on detailed atomic models make it possible to examine the particular characteristics of the system and predict the effects of the surroundings. Here, the sensitivity of the spectra of di-8-ANEPPS to solvent polarity is investigated by modeling the electronic transition between the ground and excited states using classical molecular mechanical force fields. The absorption and emission of di-8-ANEPPS were simulated in 12 solvents of increasing polarity using nonpolarizable and polarizable force fields. While the computational results and experimental data do not match perfectly, classical Lippert plots of both models show the expected increase of the Stokes shift of di-8-ANEPPS with the orientation polarizability of the surrounding solvent.

    Abstract All-atom simulations are a powerful approach to study the structure and dynamics of biological membranes. However, sampling the atomic configurations of inhomogeneous membranes can be challenging due to the slow lateral diffusion of the various constituents. To address this issue, a hybrid nonequilibrium molecular dynamics Monte Carlo (neMD/MC) simulation method is proposed in which randomly chosen lipid molecules are swapped to generate configurations that are subsequently accepted or rejected according to a Metropolis criterion based on the alchemical work for the attempted swap calculated via a short trajectory. A dual-topology framework constraining the common atoms of the exchanging molecules yields a good acceptance probability using switching trajectories as short as 10 ps. The performance of the hybrid neMD/MC algorithm and its ability to sample the distribution of lipids near a transmembrane helix carrying a net charge are illustrated for a binary mixture of charged and zwitterionic lipids.
