Electrostatics and dynamics of proteins

Open access
Simonson, Thomas·2003·Reports on Progress in Physics

Abstract

Proteins are the working chemists of living cells. They are complex macromolecules, which display a rich and sometimes counterintuitive behaviour on many length- and timescales. They contain charged and polar groups, and electrostatic interactions control important aspects of their structure and function. Experiments and computer simulations have been used intensively to probe their electrostatic and dielectric properties. A simple framework to rationalize the results is continuum electrostatics, even though proteins are smaller than the usual, macroscopic length scales of continuum theory. We discuss selected topics, including protein structure, dynamics, and solvation; the dielectric response of proteins at large (macromolecular) and small (atomic) length scales, and the physical and numerical basis of current continuum models of proteins and protein solvation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
