In our protocol, we decouple the coiled coil oligomerisation process into folding and aggregation. Whilst in nature folding and aggregation of coiled coils occur simultaneously, they can be studied separately in silico due to free energy being a state function. In our protocol, WT-metaD simulations with Boresch restraints are ran on fully folded α-helices, and the cost of folding each helix is implicitly accounted for by dividing the aggregation free energy by the number of helices in the assembly, similar to approaches followed by Ramos et al. and
