Abstract
Liquid hydrocarbon fuels play an essential part in the global energy chain, owing to their high energy density and easy transportability. Olefins play a similar role in the production of consumer goods. In a post-oil society, fuel and olefin production will rely on alternative carbon sources, such as biomass, coal, natural gas, and CO(2). The methanol-to-hydrocarbons (MTH) process is a key step in such routes, and can be tuned into production of gasoline-rich (methanol to gasoline; MTG) or olefin-rich (methanol to olefins; MTO) product mixtures by proper choice of catalyst and reaction conditions. This Review presents several commercial MTH projects that have recently been realized, and also fundamental research into the synthesis of microporous materials for the targeted variation of selectivity and lifetime of the catalysts.

Abstract
Molecular dynamics simulations were performed in order to obtain a detailed understanding of the self-diffusion mechanisms of methanol in the zeolite NaY system. We derived a new force-field term to describe the interactions between the methanol molecules and the extraframework cations. From the simulations, we show that diffusive behavior in the high-temperature range consists of a combination of both short- and long-range motions at low and intermediate loadings. This type of motion is characterized by an activation energy that decreases as the loading increases. At low loadings, we also observe short-range diffusive behavior based on a surface-mediated mechanism. The short-range behavior corresponds to motion only on the length scale of an FAU supercage, whereas the long-range behavior involves intercage diffusion. For the saturation loading corresponding to 96 methanol molecules per unit cell, only short-range motions within the same supercage predominate. Finally, the preferential arrangement of the adsorbate molecules around the extraframework cations are examined and compared with those previously deduced from experimental data.

Abstract
We present a new approach for calculating reaction coordinates in complex systems. The new method is based on transition path sampling and likelihood maximization. It requires fewer trajectories than a single iteration of existing procedures, and it applies to both low and high friction dynamics. The new method screens a set of candidate collective variables for a good reaction coordinate that depends on a few relevant variables. The Bayesian information criterion determines whether additional variables significantly improve the reaction coordinate. Additionally, we present an advantageous transition path sampling algorithm and an algorithm to generate the most likely transition path in the space of collective variables. The method is demonstrated on two systems: a bistable model potential energy surface and nucleation in the Ising model. For the Ising model of nucleation, we quantify for the first time the role of nuclei surface area in the nucleation reaction coordinate. Surprisingly, increased surface area increases the stability of nuclei in two dimensions but decreases nuclei stability in three dimensions.

Abstract
We develop an efficient technique for computing free energies corresponding to conformational transitions in complex systems by combining a Monte Carlo ensemble of trajectories generated by the shooting algorithm with umbrella sampling. Motivated by the transition path sampling method, our scheme "BOLAS" (named after a cowboy's lasso) preserves microscopic reversibility and leads to the correct equilibrium distribution. This makes possible computation of free energy profiles along complex reaction coordinates for biomolecular systems with a lower systematic error compared to traditional, force-biased umbrella sampling protocols. We demonstrate the validity of BOLAS for a bistable potential, and illustrate the method's scope with an application to the sugar repuckering transition in a solvated deoxyadenosine molecule.
