Improving efficiency in SMD simulations through a hybrid differential relaxation algorithm

The fundamental object for studying a (bio)chemical reaction obtained from simulations is the free energy profile, which can be directly related to experimentally determined properties. Although quite accurate hybrid quantum (DFT based)-classical methods are available, achieving statistically accura...
