We present an enhanced adaptive sampling method for swarms of Molecular Dynamics (MD) trajectories based on a mathematical model of Geometric Brownian Motion. Adaptive sampling protocols often determine the direction of trajectories in MD swarm simulation from the time evolution of collective variables (CVs) of interest extracted from multiple MD trajectories. Using dimensionality reduction projections such onto spaces such as defined by time-independent component analysis (tICA), the data are then projected onto a 2D space composed of two vectors with the slowest motion along the CVs. The trajectories are then re-initiated from the states identified in that 2D space that are the most distant from the initial conformation. This propagation approach does not prevent the system from being trapped in the local minimum, or from falling back into the initial state rather than exploring new conformational space in the re-initiated trajectories. These are important drawbacks considering that significant conformational transitions are likely rare events in large biochemical systems. We have addressed this issue by enabling the method to predict the future mobility of the trajectories from their previous motion on the tICA space. As movement on the free energy surface is commonly considered a diffusion process, we achieve this prediction by applying the geometric Brownian motion mathematical model (GBM) coupled to a Hidden Markov Model (HMM)-based event detection algorithm. We present the results from tests of this method on a variety of protein systems of different sizes, including membrane proteins (eg, the dopamine transporter hDAT). We found that this approach improves the efficiency of configurational sampling in MD simulations with a prediction accuracy for mobile and immobile trajectories of∼ 85% and∼ 81%, respectively.
