In brief, I have to generate montecarlo moves on several dihedrals in my molecule. To this end, I thought of two options; a) randomly generate the dihedrals between -180 to 180 (which means doing random jumps in the phase space) or b) start with several random initial conformations of the molecule and then make small random moves to the starting dihedral values in order to sample the phase space closer to nearby local minima. Please give me some expert opinion on this issue. I would also appreciate any reference articles on this line.

Top google hit is: http://www.moleculesinaction.com/pdmd.html A good much-overlooked paper (Clarke and Parker) is here: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jcc.21085/full When you have tried a few things, why not send a follow-up post to say how you got on?
