If your REMD sampling is exhaustive, then you may "catch" some frames around 300K in the process of escaping, but probably you can't afford that much computer time. Using a pulling simulation to force the reaction coordinate to sample the space that interests you is likely a much more productive way to enhance your sampling. Check the literature!
