Energy landscapes are typically fairly rough with large energetic
barriers. If your phi-psi angles are "bad" but separated by huge
barriers from the "good" angles, just running MD for a while probably
won't solve the problem, as the relevant atoms will be kinetically
trapped on the wrong side of the barrier. You might try replica
exchange, or some sort of Monte Carlo technique.
