Coupling 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...

Application of the level-set method to the implicit solvation of nonpolar molecules.

A level-set method is developed for numerically capturing the equilibrium solute-solvent interface that is defined by the recently proposed variational implicit solvent model [Dzubiella, Swanson, and McCammon, Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 527 (2006); J. Chem. Phys. 124, 084905 (2006)]. In the level-set method, a possible solute-solvent interface is represented by the zero level set (i.e., the zero lev...

Variational Implicit Solvation with Solute Molecular Mechanics: From Diffuse-Interface to Sharp-Interface Models

Central in a variational implicit-solvent description of biomolecular solvation is an effective free-energy functional of the solute atomic positions and the solute-solvent interface (i.e., the dielectric boundary). The free-energy functional couples together the solute molecular mechanical interaction energy, the solute-solvent interfacial energy, the solute-solvent van der Waals interaction e...

Variational Implicit Solvation with Poisson–Boltzmann Theory

We incorporate the Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) theory of electrostatics into our variational implicit-solvent model (VISM) for the solvation of charged molecules in an aqueous solvent. In order to numerically relax the VISM free-energy functional by our level-set method, we develop highly accurate methods for solving the dielectric PB equation and for computing the dielectric boundary force. We also...

Coupling nonpolar and polar solvation free energies in implicit solvent models.

Recent studies on the solvation of atomistic and nanoscale solutes indicate that a strong coupling exists between the hydrophobic, dispersion, and electrostatic contributions to the solvation free energy, a facet not considered in current implicit solvent models. We suggest a theoretical formalism which accounts for coupling by minimizing the Gibbs free energy of the solvent with respect to a s...
