Electrostatic Interactions in Biomolecular Systems
Electrostatic interactions are of fundamental importance in determining the structure, dynamics, and function of biomolecules. In particular, they play a key role in protein folding and stability, pH-induced conformational changes, recognition of substrates by receptors, enzymatic catalysis, and in the formation of polysaccharide-based gels. However, due to their magnitude and long-range nature...

متن کاملStrong electrostatic interactions in spherical colloidal systems.
We investigate spherical macroions in the strong Coulomb coupling regime within the primitive model in salt-free environment. We first show that the ground state of an isolated colloid is naturally overcharged by simple electrostatic arguments illustrated by the Gillespie rule. We furthermore demonstrate that in the strong Coulomb coupling this mechanism leads to ionized states and thus to long...
متن کاملModelling electrostatic interactions in complex soft systems
Electrostatic interactions are important in food systems, and modeling these systems correctly can lead to insights into their structure and dynamics when electrostatic interactions are correctly included. Here we give a brief review of electrostatics relevant to food systems, and discuss ways of approximating the electric fields and potentials. We emphasize the importance of correctly represen...
متن کاملAmphiphile-water systems and electrostatic interactions
2014 Electrostatic interactions in an aqueous medium are analysed with amphiphile-water systems as models. It is concluded that the mean field Poisson-Boltzmann approximation is often adequate to describe electrostatic effects in ionic systems particularly with monovalent counterions. Two approximations inherent in the Poisson-Boltzmann equation are discussed in detail: (i) the neglect of ion-i...
