Abstract
Multiscale modeling is a recent approach to simulating molecular systems, such as membranes and liposomes, in which different levels of detail are combined. By using distinct models, it is often possible to speed up or enrich the sampling of a given system. Examples are the use in molecular dynamics simulations of both coarse-grained and fine-grained representations, either simultaneously or alternating in time or space domains. Another possible example is the combination of Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations. This chapter reviews the existing proposed methods of multiscale modeling and simulation and also presents new insights into this fascinating new trend.
