Hi Matthew,<br>
<br>
Thanks for your response. I will definitely look into the NEB method,
suggested by you. By the way, do you have any idea about Flooding
approach or the PLUMED plugin in gromacs for performing such
simulations?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance.<br>

Hi Neeru,<br>
<br>
Any number of enhanced sampling techniques might do this, but weighted<br>
ensemble, forward flux sampling, milestoning, and transition path<br>
sampling (all described in (Zwier, M. C.; Chong, L. T. Current Opinion<br>
in Pharmacology 2010, 10, 745–752.) and the nudged elastic band method<br>
(Bergonzo, C., Campbell, A.J., Walker, R.C., Simmerling, C., "A<br>
Partial Nudged Elastic Band Implementation for Use with Large or<br>
Explicitly Solvated Large Systems", Int. J. Quant. Chem., 2009, 109,<br>
15, 3781-3790) come to mind. The nudged elastic band method, in<br>
particular, might be a good place to start, since you have initial and<br>
final structures.<br>
<br>
To my knowledge, none of these is implemented directly within GROMACS,<br>
but all could be implemented using GROMACS as a dynamics backend.<br>
