contents We present an inference scheme of long timescale, non-exponential kinetics from Molecular Dynamics simulations accelerated by stochastic resetting. Standard simulations provide valuable insight into chemical processes but are limited to timescales shorter than $\sim 1 μs$. Slower processes require the use of enhanced sampling methods to expedite them, and inference schemes to obtain the unbiased kinetics. However, most kinetics inference schemes assume an underlying exponential first-passage time distribution and are inappropriate for other distributions, e.g., with a power-law decay. We propose an inference scheme that is designed for such cases, based on simulations enhanced by stochastic resetting. We show that resetting promotes enhanced sampling of the first-passage time distribution at short timescales, but often also provides sufficient information to estimate the long-time asymptotics, which allows the kinetics inference. We apply our method to a model system and a short peptide in an explicit solvent, successfully estimating the unbiased mean first-passage time while accelerating the sampling by more than an order of magnitude.
