Continuum electrostatics for ionic solutions with non-uniform ionic sizes
This work concerns electrostatic properties of an ionic solution with multiple ionic species of possibly different ionic sizes. Such properties are described by the minimization of an electrostatic free-energy functional of ionic concentrations. Bounds are obtained for ionic concentrations with low electrostatic free energies. Such bounds are used to show that there exists a unique set of equil...
متن کاملDNA under Force: Mechanics, Electrostatics, and Hydration
Quantifying the basic intra- and inter-molecular forces of DNA has helped us to better understand and further predict the behavior of DNA. Single molecule technique elucidates the mechanics of DNA under applied external forces, sometimes under extreme forces. On the other hand, ensemble studies of DNA molecular force allow us to extend our understanding of DNA molecules under other forces such ...
متن کاملAmorphous calcium phosphate phase-mediated crystal nucleation kinetics and pathway.
Generally, a solution nucleation model is used to study biomineralization kinetics. However, we found that the amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP)-mediated hydroxyapatite (HAP) nucleation in simulated body fluids (SBF) had a different profile from the linear relationship between ln J and ln(-2) S (J, nucleation rate; S, supersaturation). This behaviour was alternatively explained by a developed h...
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 کاملAtomic Biology, Electrostatics, and Ionic Channels
The identification and manipulation of the molecules of life is one of the triumphs of man, putting biological systems under his control, embedding them into his technology, allowing the control of many of life's functions. In the next few years some of the dreams of centuries will become realities, as we learn to control disease and our biological life cycle in ways that only poets and novelis...
