Enhancing conformational sampling of biomolecules with machine learning and the cloud

Abstract:  I will describe some of our recent research developing new methods for the enhanced sampling of the conformational space of biomolecules, both large and small. I will concentrate on methods that combine molecular dynamics-based sampling with machine learning based supervision in iterative, adaptive, workflows. I will also describe the cloud-based infrastructure and workflow tools we have developed to support this type of research, which we are now making generally available.
