Interfacial Solutions of the Poisson-Boltzmann Equation
The linearized Poisson-Boltzmann equation is considered for boundary conditions corresponding to a fixed point-charge ion near the planar boundary between an electrolytic solution and a dielectric substrate. Use of the Fourier expansion for this fixed charge density allows the mean potential to be synthesized in the form of a simple quadrature. Subsequently, it is possible to compute the revers...
متن کاملMultigrid solution of the Poisson - Boltzmann equation
A multigrid method is presented for the numerical solution of the linearized Poisson-Boltzmann equation arising in molecular biophysics. The equation is discretized with the finite volume method, and the numerical solution of the discrete equations is accomplished with multiple grid techniques originally developed for two-dimensional interface problems occurring in reactor physics. A detailed a...
متن کاملProgress in developing Poisson-Boltzmann equation solvers.
This review outlines the recent progress made in developing more accurate and efficient solutions to model electrostatics in systems comprised of bio-macromolecules and nano-objects, the last one referring to objects that do not have biological function themselves but nowadays are frequently used in biophysical and medical approaches in conjunction with bio-macromolecules. The problem of modeli...
متن کاملAnalysis of a Nonlocal Poisson-Boltzmann Equation
A nonlinear, nonlocal dielectric continuum model, called the nonlocal modified PoissonBoltzmann equation (NMPBE), has been proposed to reflect the spatial-frequency dependence of dielectric permittivity in the calculation of electrostatics of ionic-solvated biomolecules. However, its analysis is difficult due to its definition involving Dirac delta distributions for modeling point charges, expo...
متن کاملThe Finite Element Approximation of the Nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann Equation
A widely used electrostatics model in the biomolecular modeling community, the nonlinear Poisson–Boltzmann equation, along with its finite element approximation, are analyzed in this paper. A regularized Poisson–Boltzmann equation is introduced as an auxiliary problem, making it possible to study the original nonlinear equation with delta distribution sources. A priori error estimates for the f...
