Steric Effects in Electrolytes: A Modified Poisson-Boltzmann Equation
The adsorption of large ions from solution to a charged surface is investigated theoretically. A generalized Poisson-Boltzmann equation which takes into account the finite size of the ions is presented. We obtain analytical expressions for the electrostatic potential and ion concentrations at the surface, leading to a modified Grahame equation. At high surface charge densities the ionic concent...
متن کاملAdaptive Finite Element Modeling Techniques for the Poisson-boltzmann Equation.
We consider the design of an effective and reliable adaptive finite element method (AFEM) for the nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann equation (PBE). We first examine the two-term regularization technique for the continuous problem recently proposed by Chen, Holst, and Xu based on the removal of the singular electrostatic potential inside biomolecules; this technique made possible the development of th...
متن کاملInterfacial Solutions of the Poisson-Boltzmann Equation
The linearized Poisson-Boltzmann equation is considered for boundary conditions corresponding to a fixed point-charge ion near the planar boundary between an electrolytic solution and a dielectric substrate. Use of the Fourier expansion for this fixed charge density allows the mean potential to be synthesized in the form of a simple quadrature. Subsequently, it is possible to compute the revers...
متن کاملMultigrid solution of the Poisson - Boltzmann equation
A multigrid method is presented for the numerical solution of the linearized Poisson-Boltzmann equation arising in molecular biophysics. The equation is discretized with the finite volume method, and the numerical solution of the discrete equations is accomplished with multiple grid techniques originally developed for two-dimensional interface problems occurring in reactor physics. A detailed a...
متن کاملProgress in developing Poisson-Boltzmann equation solvers.
This review outlines the recent progress made in developing more accurate and efficient solutions to model electrostatics in systems comprised of bio-macromolecules and nano-objects, the last one referring to objects that do not have biological function themselves but nowadays are frequently used in biophysical and medical approaches in conjunction with bio-macromolecules. The problem of modeli...
