Parallel tempering or replica-exchange molecular dynamics (REMD) significantly increases the efficiency of conformational sampling for complex molecular systems. However, obtaining converged data with REMD remains challenging, especially for large systems with complex topologies. We propose a new variant to REMD where the replicas are also permitted to exchange with an ensemble of structures that have been generated in advance using high-temperature MD simulations, similar in spirit to J-walking methods. We tested this approach on two non-trivial model systems, a beta-hairpin and a 3-stranded beta-sheet and compared the results to those obtained from very long (> 100 ns) standard REMD simulations. The resulting ensembles were indistinguishable, including relative populations of different conformations on the unfolded state. The use of the reservoir is shown to significantly reduce the time required for convergence.
