Continuum Electrostatics in Cell Biology
Recent experiments revealing possible nanoscale electrostatic interactions in force generation at kinetochores for chromosome motions have prompted speculation regarding possible models for interactions between positively charged molecules in kinetochores and negative charge on Ctermini near the plus ends of microtubules. A clear picture of how kinetochores establish and maintain a dynamic coup...
متن کاملReduction potentials of Rieske clusters: importance of the coupling between oxidation state and histidine protonation state.
Rieske [2Fe-2S] clusters can be classified into two groups, depending on their reduction potentials. Typical high-potential Rieske proteins have pH-dependent reduction potentials between +350 and +150 mV at pH 7, and low-potential Rieske proteins have pH-independent potentials of around -150 mV at pH 7. The pH dependence of the former group is attributed to coupled deprotonation of the two hist...
متن کاملOn the transferability of hydration-parametrized continuum electrostatics models to solvated binding calculations
Using molecular mechanics force field partial atomic charges, we show the nonuniqueness of the parametrization of continuum electrostatics models with respect to solute atomic radii and interior dielectric constant based on hydration (vacuum-to-water transfer) free energy data available for small molecules. Moreover, parameter sets that are optimal and equivalent for hydration free energy calcu...
متن کاملMultipole electrostatics in hydration free energy calculations
Hydration free energy (HFE) is generally used for evaluating molecular solubility, which is an important property for pharmaceutical and chemical engineering processes. Accurately predicting HFE is also recognized as one fundamental capability of molecular mechanics force field. Here, we present a systematic investigation on HFE calculations with AMOEBA polarizable force field at various parame...
متن کاملIntroduction to Continuum Electrostatics, with Molecular Applications
Ideas from the macroscopic world have long been translated to the microscopic world of molecules. Examples include mechanics, fluid dynamics, and electrostatics. It is sometimes said that such applications often succeed better than have any right to, given the extrapolation of size scales. Classical electrostatics in particular provides intuitive insights that help us to reason about the proper...
