This release "officially" introduces a weighted DCCM analysis in our multi-stage enhanced sampling protocol, which is described in Ref. [6] below:

  1. equilibrium simulation (typically 10's of ns)
  2. coarse-grained representation of all-atom trajectory [1,3]
  3. FREquency-SElective ANharmonic (FRESEAN) mode analysis [1,3]
  4. well-tempered metadynamics simulations with zero-frequency collective modes as CVs [2,5]
  5. weighted DCCM analysis of biased trajectories [6]
  6. identification of collectively moving domains
  7. weighted projection of biased trajectories on distances between anti-correlated domains
