Abstract
The configurational-bias Monte Carlo method is proposed for efficient conformational sampling of the interior segments of chain molecules. An algorithm allows for the simulation of chain molecules using force fields of arbitrary complexity. An initial guess of the biasing probability from a short presimulation or an earlier simulation of a related system or simply use a uniform biasing probability is obtained.
