    FFT acceleration demonstration for (surface)GB methods

    Surface charges Generalized Born (SCGB) approach combines the bests of the two worlds: the simplicity of Generalized Born models with the sound physics behind exact continuous electrostatics. Does not only SCGB provide accurate solvation energies for realistic systems, the surface charges obtained in the course...

    Effects of the surface density on the stability of surface electrostatics models

    We’ve been extensively involved in developing new and testing already existing methods for continuous electrostatics problems solution. Large part of the effort is building and understanding of the so called Generalized Born models. It’s been known for quite a while that although various incarnations of...

    Surface GB models: the ultimate test

    Continuous solvation models in general and Generalized Born models alike in particular provide a simplified though fast assessment of the solvation energies of biomolecules. Continuous water models help effectively eliminate vast number of degrees of freedom associated with the dynamics of water molecules and thus...

    Non-polar contribution to solvation energy from Born models:

    Solvation energy contribution to protein-ligand binding conceptually consists of two different contributions. The first one is collective in nature, comes from the long range interaction of the molecules charges with polar water molecules. The other comes mostly from the short range interactions of the molecules...

    O(N) Surface Charges Generalized Born calculation demonstration

    Surface Charges Generalized Born (SCGB) family of the polar solvation energy caclulation methods is a recently developed approach aimed at getting fast numerical solutions of the Poisson Boltzmann equation in linear time (and memory). SCGB combines the bests of the two worlds: the simplicity of...
