Modeling Charge-Sign Asymmetric Solvation Free Energies With Nonlinear Boundary Conditions
We show that charge-sign-dependent asymmetric hydration can be modeled accurately using linear Poisson theory after replacing the standard electric-displacement boundary condition with a simple nonlinear boundary condition. Using a single multiplicative scaling factor to determine atomic radii from molecular dynamics Lennard-Jones parameters, the new model accurately reproduces MD free-energy c...
متن کاملInvestigating the Selectivity of KcsA Channel by an Image Charge Solvation Method (ICSM) in Molecular Dynamics Simulations
In this paper, we study the selectivity of the potassium channel KcsA by a recently developed image-charge solvation method(ICSM) combined with molecular dynamics simulations. The hybrid solvation model in the ICSM is able to demonstrate atomistically the function of the selectivity filter of the KcsA channel when potassium and sodium ions are considered and their distributions inside the filte...
متن کاملGeneralized image charge solvation model for electrostatic interactions in molecular dynamics simulations of aqueous solutions
This paper extends the image charge solvation model (ICSM) [J. Chem. Phys. 131, 154103 (2009)], a hybrid explicit/implicit method to treat electrostatic interactions in computer simulations of biomolecules formulated for spherical cavities, to prolate spheroidal and triaxial ellipsoidal cavities, designed to better accommodate non-spherical solutes in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. In add...
متن کاملImage Charge Methods for a Three-Dielectric-Layer Hybrid Solvation Model of Biomolecules.
This paper introduces a three dielectric layer hybrid solvation model for treating electrostatic interactions of biomolecules in solvents using the Poisson-Boltzmann equation. In this model, an interior spherical cavity will contain the solute and some explicit solvent molecules, and an intermediate buffer layer and an exterior layer contain the bulk solvent. A special dielectric permittivity p...
متن کاملThe charge-asymmetric nonlocally determined local-electric (CANDLE) solvation model.
Many important applications of electronic structure methods involve molecules or solid surfaces in a solvent medium. Since explicit treatment of the solvent in such methods is usually not practical, calculations often employ continuum solvation models to approximate the effect of the solvent. Previous solvation models either involve a parametrization based on atomic radii, which limits the clas...
