Level-set minimization of potential controlled Hadwiger valuations for molecular solvation
A level-set method is developed for the numerical minimization of a class of Had-wiger valuations with a potential on a set of three-dimensional bodies. Such valuations are linear combinations of the volume, surface area, and surface integral of mean curvature. The potential increases rapidly as the body shrinks beyond a critical size. The combination of the Hadwiger valuation and the potential...
متن کاملCoupling the Level-Set Method with Molecular Mechanics for Variational Implicit Solvation of Nonpolar Molecules.
We construct a variational explicit-solute implicit-solvent model for the solvation of molecules. Central in this model is an effective solvation free-energy functional that depends solely on the position of solute-solvent interface and solute atoms. The total free energy couples altogether the volume and interface energies of solutes, the solute-solvent van der Waals interactions, and the solu...
متن کاملFootprinting molecular electrostatic potential surfaces for calculation of solvation energies.
A liquid is composed of an ensemble of molecules that populate a large number of different states, so calculation of the solvation energy of a molecule in solution requires a method for summing the interactions with the environment over all of these states. The surface site interaction model for the properties of liquids at equilibrium (SSIMPLE) simplifies the surface of a molecule to a discret...
متن کاملMinimization of Electrostatic Free Energy and the Poisson-Boltzmann Equation for Molecular Solvation with Implicit Solvent
In an implicit-solvent description of the solvation of charged molecules (solutes), the electrostatic free energy is a functional of concentrations of ions in the solvent. The charge density is determined by such concentrations together with the point charges of the solute atoms, and the electrostatic potential is determined by the Poisson equation with a variable dielectric coefficient. Such a...
