The recently developed Tightly Bound Ion (TBI) model offers improved predictions for ion effect in nucleic acid systems by accounting for ion correlation and fluctuation effects. However, further application of the model to larger systems is limited by the low computational efficiency of the model. Here, we develop a new computational efficient TBI model using free energy landscape-guided sampling method. The method leads to drastic reduction in the computer time by a factor of 50 for RNAs of 50-100 nucleotides long. The improvement in the computational efficiency would be more significant for larger structures. To test the new method, we apply the model to predict the free energies and the number of bound ions for a series of RNA folding systems. The validity of this new model is supported by the nearly exact agreement with the results from the original TBI model and the agreement with the experimental data. The method may pave the way for further applications of the TBI model to treat a broad range of biologically significant systems such as tetraloop-receptor and riboswitches. |
