Fast Analytical Methods for Macroscopic Electrostatic Models in Biomolecular Simulations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We review recent developments of fast analytical methods for macroscopic electrostatic calculations in biological applications, including the Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) and the generalized Born models for electrostatic solvation energy. The focus is on analytical approaches for hybrid solvation models, especially the image charge method for a spherical cavity, and also the generalized Born theory as an approximation to the PB model. This review places much emphasis on the mathematical details behind these methods.

Molecular dynamics simulations of biomolecules: long-range electrostatic effects.
Current computer simulations of biomolecules typically make use of classical molecular dynamics methods, as a very large number (tens to hundreds of thousands) of atoms are involved over timescales of many nanoseconds. The methodology for treating short-range bonded and van der Waals interactions has matured. However, long-range electrostatic interactions still represent a bottleneck in simulat...
متن کاملImplicit solvent models.
Implicit solvent models for biomolecular simulations are reviewed and their underlying statistical mechanical basis is discussed. The fundamental quantity that implicit models seek to approximate is the solute potential of mean force, which determines the statistical weight of solute conformations, and which is obtained by averaging over the solvent degrees of freedom. It is possible to express...
متن کاملFast Methods for Simulation of Biomolecule of Electrostatics
Biomolecular structure and interactions in aqueous environment are determined by a complicated interplay between physical and chemical forces including solvation, electrostatics, van der Waals forces, the hydrophobic effect and covalent bonding. Among them, electrostatics has been of particular interest due to its long-range nature and the tradeoff between desolvation and interaction effects [1...
متن کاملBiomolecular Electrostatics Simulation by an FMM-based BEM on 512 GPUs
We present simulations of biomolecular electrostatics at a scale not reached before, thanks to both algorithmic and hardware acceleration. The algorithmic acceleration is achieved with the fast multipole method (FMM) in conjunction with a boundary element method (BEM) formulation of the continuum electrostatic model. The hardware acceleration is achieved through graphics processors, GPUs. We de...
متن کاملAtomic multipoles: Electrostatic potential fit, local reference axis systems, and conformational dependence
Currently, all standard force fields for biomolecular simulations use point charges to model intermolecular electrostatic interactions. This is a fast and simple approach but has deficiencies when the electrostatic potential (ESP) is compared to that from ab initio methods. Here, we show how atomic multipoles can be rigorously implemented into common biomolecular force fields. For this, a compr...
