We review the history of the parallel tempering simulation method. From its origins in data
analysis, the parallel tempering method has become a standard workhorse of …

In complex systems with many degrees of freedom such as peptides and proteins, there
exists a huge number of local‐minimum‐energy states. Conventional simulations in the …

The successful incorporation of active proteins into synthetic polymers could lead to a new
class of materials with functions found only in living systems. However, proteins rarely …

Several methods for preparing well equilibrated melts of long chains polymers are studied.
We show that the standard method in which one starts with an ensemble of chains with the …

We describe a new program package that is designed to perform numerical Molecular
Dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations for a broad class of soft matter systems in …

Combined experimental and computational studies of lipid membranes and liposomes, with
the aim to attain mechanistic understanding, result in a synergy that makes possible the …

We review recent results from computer simulation studies of polymer glasses, from the
chain dynamics around the glass transition temperature Tg to the mechanical behaviour …

We survey results of computer simulations for the structure and dynamics of supercooled
polymer melts and films. Our survey is mainly concerned with features of a coarse grained …

Soft amorphous materials are viscoelastic solids ubiquitously found around us, from clays
and cementitious pastes to emulsions and physical gels encountered in food or biomedical …

" Extended Ensemble Monte Carlo" is a generic term that indicates a set of algorithms, which
are now popular in a variety of fields in physics and statistical information processing …
