Tno peptides with 12 and 13 residues, respectively, are studied using the CHARMM polar-hydrogen energy function and the analytical continuum solvent potential for treatment of solvation. In the original adaptive umbrella sampling simulations of the two peptides, two and sh transitions occur between folded and unfolded conformations, respectively, over a simulation time of 10 ns. The modification increases the number of transitions to 6 and 12, respectively. in the same simulation time. The precision of estimates of the average effective energy of the system as a function of temperature and of the contributions to the average effective energy of folded conformations obtained with the adaptive methods is discussed.
