Multigrid 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 کاملEfficient solution technique for solving the Poisson-Boltzmann equation
The Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) equation has been extensively used to analyze the energetics and structure of proteins and other significant biomolecules immersed in electrolyte media. A new highly efficient approach for solving PB-type equations that allows for the modeling of many-atoms structures such as encountered in cell biology, virology, and nanotechnology is presented. We accomplish these e...
متن کاملFast Boundary Element Method for the Linear Poisson-Boltzmann Equation
This article summarizes the development of a fast boundary element method for the linear Poisson-Boltzmann equation governing biomolecular electrostatics. Unlike previous fast boundary element implementations, the present treatment accommodates finite salt concentrations thus enabling the study of biomolecular electrostatics under realistic physiological conditions. This is achieved by using mu...
متن کاملA Combined MPI-CUDA Parallel Solution of Linear and Nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann Equation
The Poisson-Boltzmann equation models the electrostatic potential generated by fixed charges on a polarizable solute immersed in an ionic solution. This approach is often used in computational structural biology to estimate the electrostatic energetic component of the assembly of molecular biological systems. In the last decades, the amount of data concerning proteins and other biological macro...
متن کاملThe Poisson - Boltzmann Equation Analysis and Multilevel Numerical Solution
We consider the numerical solution of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation (PBE), a three-dimensional second order nonlinear elliptic partial differential equation arising in biophysics. This problem has several interesting features impacting numerical algorithms, including discontinuous coefficients representing material interfaces, rapid nonlinearities, and three spatial dimensions. Similar equatio...
