dc.descriptionFinding and sampling multiple reaction channels for molecular transitions remains an important challenge in physical chemistry. Here we show that the weighted ensemble (WE) path sampling method can readily sample multiple channels. In a first test, both the WE and transition path sampling methods are applied to two-dimensional model potentials. The comparison explains why the weighted ensemble approach will not be trapped in one channel. The WE approach is then used to sample the full transition path ensemble in implicitly solvated alanine dipeptide at two different temperatures. The ensembles are of sufficient quality to permit quantification of the fractional importance of each channel, even at T=300K when brute-force simulation is prohibitively expensive.
