Reaction pathways of alanine dipeptide isomerization using NEB method. In pathways 1~3, the elastic force constant k is 10, 100 and 1000 kcal•mol−1• Å−2, respectively. The mass-weighted RMSD of all the atoms is used to measure the distance between replicas. The pathways 4~6 repeat the calculations of 1~3 with hydrogens excluded from mass-weighted RMSD calculation.
