Effective simulations of proteins, their complexes, and other amino acid polymers such as peptides or peptoids are critically dependent on the performance of the simulation methods and their ability to map the conformational space of the molecule in question. In the presented study, we show that metadynamics and chosen collective coordinates-the principal moments of the tensors of gyration and inertia, the principal radii of gyration around the principal axes, asphericity, acylindricity, and anisotropy-can be used as a powerful combination to map the conformational space of peptides and proteins.
