  • From AlphaFold to Dynamics

    Introducing AlphaFold-SFA, a novel method combining AlphaFold, slow feature analysis (SFA), and metadynamics to accelerate the sampling of rare events like cryptic pocket openings, protein-ligand bindings, and allostery in proteins. This method overcomes limitations of traditional molecular dynamics by using SFA as a dimensionality reduction tool, thus enabling more efficient exploration of protein dynamics and

  • tICA Metadynamics

    Time-lagged independent component analysis is a dimensionality reduction technique which transforms a high dimensional dataset to lower dimensional co-ordinates. It’s philosophy is kind of similar to PCA (principal component analysis).  For more details check here. It is a very recently developed technique which has a lot of promise. tICA can separate slow degrees of freedom
