Highly accurate biomolecular electrostatics in continuum dielectric environments
Implicit solvent models based on the Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) equation are frequently used to describe the interactions of a biomolecule with its dielectric continuum environment. A novel, highly accurate Poisson-Boltzmann solver is developed based on the matched interface and boundary (MIB) method, which rigorously enforces the continuity conditions of both the electrostatic potential and its fl...
متن کاملWork/Precision Tradeoffs in Continuum Models of Biomolecular Electrostatics
The structure and function of biological molecules are strongly influenced by the water and dissolved ions that surround them. This aqueous solution (solvent) exerts significant electrostatic forces in response to the biomolecule’s ubiquitous atomic charges and polar chemical groups. In this work, we investigate a simple approach to numerical calculation of this model using boundary-integral eq...
متن کاملComputational methods for biomolecular electrostatics.
An understanding of intermolecular interactions is essential for insight into how cells develop, operate, communicate, and control their activities. Such interactions include several components: contributions from linear, angular, and torsional forces in covalent bonds, van der waals forces, as well as electrostatics. Among the various components of molecular interactions, electrostatics are of...
متن کاملContinuum Electrostatics in Cell Biology
Recent experiments revealing possible nanoscale electrostatic interactions in force generation at kinetochores for chromosome motions have prompted speculation regarding possible models for interactions between positively charged molecules in kinetochores and negative charge on Ctermini near the plus ends of microtubules. A clear picture of how kinetochores establish and maintain a dynamic coup...
متن کاملCPdock: the complementarity plot for docking of proteins: implementing multi-dielectric continuum electrostatics.
The complementarity plot (CP) is an established validation tool for protein structures, applicable to both globular proteins (folding) as well as protein-protein complexes (binding). It computes the shape and electrostatic complementarities (Sm, Em) for amino acid side-chains buried within the protein interior or interface and plots them in a two-dimensional plot having knowledge-based probabil...
