Results for
the simulation of solvated chignolin using the HLDA-based
CV (left), the radius of gyration (middle), and the C-alpha RMSD (right).
(a) FESs. The vertical dashed line marks the first-passage criterion
and the dotted vertical lines mark the average radius of gyration
and C-alpha RMSD at first-passage events. The horizontal green and
red lines highlight average maximal bias heights at t* and 10t*, respectively. The black stars mark the
values of the CVs at the initial folded configuration. (b) Estimated
MFPTs obtained with standard iMetaD (orange) and ST-iMetaD (pink).
The boxes show the range between the first and third quartiles and
the whiskers show extreme values within 1.5 IQR below and above these
quartiles. The blue dashed lines show the unbiased MFPT. (c) Survival
functions for unbiased FPTs (blue solid lines), rescaled FPTs of simulations
with a bias deposition rate of 1 ns–1(dashed green
lines), exponential fits to the rescaled CDF in the entire range (orange
dashed–dotted lines), and linear fits to the survival function
at t ≤ t* (pink dotted lines).
The black dashed lines show the estimated t*.
