報告摘要：Continuum models are commonly used to combine with molecular model in order to bridge different scales and to take into account the average influence of solvent environment on molecular processes. I’ll talk about our recent advances in developing continuum models, numerical algorithms and software for simulating variety of phenomena involving electrostatics and diffusion processes at molecular and nano-scales. Macromolecular electrostatics and ion transport in ion channel/nanopores are our focused interests. The governing equations of these phenomena are the Poisson-Boltzmann/Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations and their improved forms. We have developed a set of computational methods and software tool chain in this field, including finite element/boundary element simulation packages, molecular meshing tools, visualization software and web-based service (under way). Case studies are applied to calculate such as macromolecular electrostatics, current-voltage curve of ion channels (physiological property) and nanopores (potentially used in gen sequencing, electric nano-devices et al.).
