Journal ArticleDOI

Implicit solvent models

TL;DR: Implicit solvent models for biomolecular simulations are reviewed and their underlying statistical mechanical basis is discussed, and the relation between the solute fluctuations and its macroscopic dielectric constant(s) clarified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Free energy simulations come of age: protein-ligand recognition.

TL;DR: This work illustrates both molecular dynamics and Poisson-Boltzmann methods with a detailed study of amino acid recognition by aspartyl-tRNA synthetase, whose specificity is important for maintaining the integrity of the genetic code.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proton binding to proteins: pKa calculations with explicit and implicit solvent models

TL;DR: MDFE with a GB dielectric continuum solvent, used for the first time for pKa calculations, can describe protein reorganization accurately and gives encouraging agreement with experiment and with the explicit solvent simulations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Macromolecular electrostatics: continuum models and their growing pains.

TL;DR: Theoretical understanding of macromolecular electrostatics has advanced substantially over the past year, and Generalized Born and other techniques have led to the first molecular dynamics simulations of proteins and RNA with continuum solvent.
