The weights are self-updated via a trapezoid rule during the simulated tempering simulation. With our proposed scheme, simulated tempering requires neither prior trial simulations nor complicated update schemes. The advantage of our method over replica exchange molecular dynamics has been demonstrated with the study of the folding of the 20-residue alanine peptide and the aggregation of a trimer formed by the Alzheimer's peptide fragment Aβ16−22.}, title = {Communication: Simulated tempering with fast on-the-fly weight determination}, volume = {138}, year = {2013} }
