Abstract
- We present two methods to reveal protein-ligand unbinding mechanisms in biased unbinding simulations by clustering trajectories into ensembles representing unbinding paths. The first approach is based on a contact principal component analysis for reducing the dimensionality of the input data, followed by identification of unbinding paths and training a machine learning model for trajectory clustering. The second approach clusters trajectories according to their pairwise mean Euclidean distance employing the neighbor-net algorithm, which takes into account input data bias in the distances set and is superior to dendrogram construction. Finally, we describe a more complex case where the reaction coordinate relevant for path identification is a single intra-ligand hydrogen bond, highlighting the challenges involved in unbinding path reaction coordinate detection.<br />Comment: This preprint is the unformatted version of a manuscript that has been published as article in the Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling and can be downloaded for private use only.
