Introduction
The string method is an enhanced sampling technique to identify the most probable transition pathway (minimum free energy path) between two or more metastable states in high-dimensional collective variable space. The method discretises the path into a series of connected points (beads) and iteratively refines their positions using biased molecular dynamics to align the path with the underlying free energy landscape.
