A method to combine fine-grained and coarse-grained simulations is presented. The coarse-grained particles are described as virtual particles defined by the underlying fine-grained particles are described as virtual particles defined by the underlying fine-grained particles. The contribution of the two grain levels to the interaction between particles is specified by a grain-level parameter lambda. Setting lambda=0 results in a completely fine-grained simulation, whereas lambda=1 yields a simulation governed by the coarse-grained potential energy surface with small contributions to keep the fine-grained covalently bound particles together. Simulations at different lambda values may be coupled using the replica-exchange molecular dynamics method to achieve enhanced sampling at the fine-grained level.
