 Monte Carlo (MC) Simulation
Instead of evaluating forces to determine incremental atomic motions, Monte Carlo simulation simply imposes relatively large motions on the system and determines whether or not the altered structure is energetically feasible at the temperature simulated.
Monte Carlo makes use of Boltzmann probabilities, not forces.
It is then generally expedient to bias the random moves in favor of known structural preferences such as side chain rotamers (`biased probability Monte Carlo').
