[CP2K:8746] Re: a question about constrained MD, shake algorithm and the free energy calculation using Lagrange multiplier

[Fangyong Yan]

however, at this moment, I dont think I can find a better way to simulate
high free energy barrier for chemical reactions. Ab-initio constrained MD
seems to be the only choice, with enough sampling and good guess for the
reaction coordinate, the trajectory made up ab-initio constrained MD will
be reasonable.
