Ionic solvation studied by image-charge reaction field method

Abstract: In a preceding paper [J. Chem. Phys. 131, 154103 (2009)], we introduced a new, hybrid explicit/implicit method to treat electrostatic interactions in computer simulations, and tested its performance for liquid water. In this paper, we report further tests of this method, termed the image-charge solvation model (ICSM), in simulations of ions solvated in water. We find that our model can faithfully reproduce known solvation properties of sodium and chloride ions. The charging free energy of a single sodium ion i… Show more

“…However, the critical issue to the short-range treatment is to improve its accuracy and remove the possible artifacts arising in it. [10][11][12][13][14] As one of the approaches to address this issue in a shortrange treatment, [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] the zero-multipole (summation) method (ZMM) has been developed. 30 The underlying physical idea is simple, as follows.…”

“…When there are N charges inside the cavity, the use of the FMM will result in a speedup from O ( N log N ) for the Particle Mesh Ewald (PME) to only O ( N ) operations. The ICSM was originally tested systematically using an in-house program written specifically for use with bulk water [1], and later it was further tested through simulations of ions solvated in water using the modified in-house program [9]. For both cases, it has been found that, by using an optimal set of model parameters, the ICSM can faithfully reproduce many known properties of the simulated biological systems.…”

“…The polarizability showed an electrostatic saturation behavior, when the solute charge was less than −0.5e. In studies on integral equation theories [17][18][19][20][21][22], the opposite behavior appeared. The polarizability increased as the solute charge became less than −0.5e.…”

“…The Born model is frequently adopted as the simplest method in such calculations [3,9,10], where a linear response and continuum medium are assumed. Hence, the response of a solvent's polarization has been examined based on a molecular picture using integral equation theories and molecular simulation methods [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”
