Self-energy-modified Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations: WKB approximation and finite-difference approaches.
We propose a modified Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) model to investigate charge transport in electrolytes of inhomogeneous dielectric environment. The model includes the ionic polarization due to the dielectric inhomogeneity and the ion-ion correlation. This is achieved by the self energy of test ions through solving a generalized Debye-Hückel (DH) equation. We develop numerical methods for the s...

متن کاملPoisson-Nernst-Planck equations in a ball
The Poisson Nernst-Planck equations for charge concentration and electric potential in a ball is a model of electro-diffusion of ions in the head of a neuronal dendritic spine. We study the relaxation and the steady state when an initial charge of ions is injected into the ball. The steady state equation is similar to the Liouville-Gelfand-Bratú-type equation with the difference that the bounda...
متن کاملAn Error Analysis for the Finite Element Approximation to the Steady-State Poisson-Nernst-Planck Equations
Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations are a coupled system of nonlinear partial differential equations consisting of the Nernst-Planck equation and the electrostatic Poisson equation with delta distribution sources, which describe the electrodiffusion of ions in a solvated biomolecular system. In this paper, some error bounds for a piecewise finite element approximation to this problem are derived. S...
متن کاملDielectric self-energy in Poisson-Boltzmann and Poisson-Nernst-Planck models of ion channels.
We demonstrated previously that the two continuum theories widely used in modeling biological ion channels give unreliable results when the radius of the conduit is less than two Debye lengths. The reason for this failure is the neglect of surface charges on the protein wall induced by permeating ions. Here we attempt to improve the accuracy of the Poisson-Boltzmann and Poisson-Nernst-Planck th...
