The free-energy profile for ring opening of MCP as a function of the C–C–C angle, θ obtained from the adaptive AMD method (black line), and the standard constrained CP-MD approach (red line). The closed ring system has a free-energy minimum at 66° and the transition state is located approximately at θ = 105°.
