Quality meshing of implicit solvation models of biomolecular structures
This paper describes a comprehensive approach to construct quality meshes for implicit solvation models of biomolecular structures starting from atomic resolution data in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). First, a smooth volumetric electron density map is constructed from atomic data using weighted Gaussian isotropic kernel functions and a two-level clustering technique. This enables the selection o...
متن کاملSolvation forces on biomolecular structures: A comparison of explicit solvent and Poisson-Boltzmann models
Continuum electrostatics methods have become increasingly popular due to their ability to provide approximate descriptions of solvation energies and forces without expensive sampling required by explicit solvent models. In particular, the Poisson-Boltzmann equation (PBE) provides electrostatic potentials, solvation energies, and forces by modeling the solvent as a featureless, dielectric materi...
متن کاملThe Geometry of Biomolecular Solvation
Years of research in biology have established that all cellular functions are deeply connected to the shape and dynamics of their molecular actors. As a response, structural molecular biology has emerged as a new line of experimental research focused on revealing the structure of biomolecules. The analysis of these structures has led to the development of computational biology, whose aim is to ...
متن کاملDomain decomposition for implicit solvation models.
This article is the first of a series of papers dealing with domain decomposition algorithms for implicit solvent models. We show that, in the framework of the COSMO model, with van der Waals molecular cavities and classical charge distributions, the electrostatic energy contribution to the solvation energy, usually computed by solving an integral equation on the whole surface of the molecular ...
متن کاملQuality Meshing of a Forest of Branching Structures
Neurons are cellular compartments possessing branching morphologies, with information processing functionality, and the ability to communicate with each other via synaptic junctions (e.g. neurons come within less than a nano-meter of each other in a specialized way). A collection of neurons in each part of the brain form a dense forest of such branching structures, with myriad inter-twined bran...
