One way to surmount this difficulty is to use a non-Boltzmann sampling method in which conformations are sampled upon a general weighting function instead of the conventional Boltzmann weighting function. The multiensemble sampling (MES) method is a non-Boltzmann sampling method that was originally developed to estimate free energy differences between systems with different potential energies and\/or at different thermodynamic states. The method has not yet been applied to studies of complex molecular systems such as proteins.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: MES Monte Carlo simulations of small proteins have been carried out using a united-residue force field. The proteins at several temperatures from the unfolded to the folded states were simulated in a single MC run at a time and their equilibrium thermodynamic properties were calculated correctly. The distributions of sampled conformations clearly indicate that, when going through states of energy local minima, the MES simulation did not get trapped in them but escaped from them so quickly that all the relevant parts of conformation space could be sampled properly. A two-step folding process consisting of a collapse transition followed by a folding transition is observed. This study demonstrates that the use of MES alleviates the multiple-minima problem greatly.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Availability: Available on request from the authors<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0khan@pcu.ac.kr<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Supplementary information: A FORTRAN90 code of MES algorithm for MC simulation and its sample input have been deposited as Supplementary data available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btl282","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,6,10]],"date-time":"2006-06-10T00:49:11Z","timestamp":1149900551000},"page":"1832-1837","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Application of the multiensemble sampling to the equilibrium folding of proteins"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Hyeon S.","family":"Son","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, Institute of Health and Environment, Graduate School of Public Health, Seoul National University 1 \u00a0 1 \u00a0 \u00a0 Seoul 110-799, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seung-Yeon","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computational Sciences, Korea Institute for Advanced Study 2 \u00a0 2 \u00a0 \u00a0 Seoul 130-722, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jooyoung","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computational Sciences, Korea Institute for Advanced Study 2 \u00a0 2 \u00a0 \u00a0 Seoul 130-722, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kyu-Kwang","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Physics, Pai Chai University 3 \u00a0 3 \u00a0 \u00a0 Daejeon 302-735, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,6,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023012409121946700_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"133","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.97.1.133","article-title":"Staphylococcal protein A: unfolding pathways, unfolded states, and differences between the B and E domains","volume":"97","author":"Alonso","year":"2000","journal-title":"Proc.
