Foundations of biomaterials: Models of protein solvation
Abstract: We discuss both continuum and atomic scale models
of solvation and the hydrophobic effect. We describe their
application to modeling of protein-ligand interactions. A
key result is the development of a nonlocal model that can
be computed in only twice the time required for the standard
model, despite the fact that formally the nonlocal model is
a six-dimensional PDE.
